Such is the implausible demand of leftwing insurgents trying to take over the Democratic Party in deep blue cities.
Their timing couldn t be worse. The Trump dreadnought has capsized, thanks to its skipper s megalomaniacal delusions and ineptitude. Democrats are poised to retake at least one House of Congress in the midterm election. Now come democratic socialists to throw Republicans a political lifeline by associating Democrats with radical postures offensive to working Americans.
The socialists urban surge began with last fall s mayoral victories of Zohran Mamdani in New York and Katie Wilson in Seattle. The streak continued this year with primary victories by Janeese Lewis George in Washington, D.C. and State Rep. Chris Rabb in Philadelphia. Last month, three Mamdani-endorsed congressional candidates in New York — Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander — won primaries in heavily Democratic districts.
