Article, published today, explaining recent victories of democratic socialists and progressives (in NY, Seattle, Buffalo, and elsewhere) and putting their success in historical perspective. There are now over 250 socialists in office - probably the most since about 1912. The policy views of Mamdani, Wilson, and other socialists align with public opinion among a majority of Americans, and not just in deep blue cities. Lots of voters who would never call themselves socialists voted for socialists for public office. What should Democrats learn from this?
