First they laugh at you. Then they attack you. Then you win.
I'm quite optimistic that the progressive takeover of the Democratic party is past the tipping point.
It won't be a Socialist leader in the 2028 race, but it will be the primary momentum by then.
While the progressive lost the WI gov race, another one won the MN senate race and several beat centrist Dems in House races.
Fingers crossed #Burnham gets ahead of that trend in the UK.
