Another far left progressive beats a 16 term democrat. I think this is bigger news than AOC winning;

For decades, Sanders has called for Democrats to return to the “old-guard leftism” of “class struggle, the rectification of economic inequality, the war against the ‘millionaires and billionaires,’ ” rather than fight “cultural battles.” Yet the “current revolutionary moment” centers on “racial justice and defunding the police.” That, Douthat argues, vindicates Sanders: Purging monuments and statues, after all, “isn’t as threatening to power” as Sanders’ proposed economic revolution, as corporations’ rush to pay “fealty to anti-racism” shows.It's too damn bad the firebrand views take the spotlight. The author has a point, a good one I mean. The message was lost in the smoke. Not a smoke screen, but from the fires of revolt.
In a Virginia congressional race yesterday, Cameron Webb, a 37-year-old black physician, handily defeated his three primary opponents, including the race’s top fundraiser—a female combat veteran backed by EMILY’s List. The demonstrations also injected a massive jolt of energy into the Democratic Senate primary yesterday in Kentucky.
Before protests began in May, Charles Booker, a black progressive state lawmaker, was a low-funded underdog compared with Amy McGrath, the former fighter pilot who, like Engel, has the backing of the Democratic establishment.
Damn, Eliot Engel was Jewish. We are losing too many Jewish people to these fucking anti-Semites.AOC and Bernie Sanders supported Bowman. Most other Democrats supported Engel.
Engel was supported by AOC - I would say she is the odds on favorite to get a Senator's seat and VP the next go around.
