The political landscape has greatly changed since then. Then socialists were practically nobody, a few elections I think here and there but nothing too important at most
Now after Mamdani, you've got real socialists not only winning major elections. But unseating major establishment Dems with large AIPAC funding behind them and STILL losing. I forgot the particular race atm, but one had a dem incumbent where AIPAC spent over $50 million and STILL lost.
The establishment Dems no longer and should not be catered too, atp, if Republishits maintain control capitulating to establishment Dems wouldn't change a damn thing either
