29岁的民主社会主义者梅拉特·基罗斯在科罗拉多州初选中取得重大胜利，击败了任职29年的国会 incumbent 黛安娜·德盖特。她的胜选被视为极左翼候选人在初选中接连获胜的蔓延趋势之一，这一态势可能深刻重塑民主党的纲领与方向。
在美国东部遭遇历史性热浪之际，没人会为保暖发愁。
但如何“让你的同志”暖和起来？
不，你不是回到了苏联。
但你可能正身处民主党之中。

“你们有权确保你们的国际同志真正与你们并肩作战，并获得你们所有人应得的福利，”纽约民主党众议院候选人达里亚利萨·阿维拉·舍瓦利耶在纽约市的一场工会集会上说道。
“这里有一半的人对你们来说都是陌生人。但现在你们有了同志，”击败众议员黛安娜·德盖特（科罗拉多州民主党）的科罗拉多州民主党国会候选人梅拉特·基罗斯说道。
“我必须向我的同志们致敬，”密苏里州民主党国会候选人哈特泽尔·格雷在播客采访中说道。
对民主社会主义者来说，你们不知道自己有多幸运。
“你们拥有整个劳工运动的团结。我也与你们站在一起，”纽约民主党众议院候选人克莱尔·瓦尔迪兹说道。
众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯（纽约州民主党）既没有支持阿维拉·舍瓦利耶，也没有支持瓦尔迪兹。不过，他确实向两人表示了祝贺。杰弗里斯自然需要阿维拉·舍瓦利耶、瓦尔迪兹和纽约州民主党众议院候选人布拉德·兰德获胜。他们今年秋天很可能会胜出。但当被问及在纽约初选中胜出的进步派人士——也就是他没有背书的那些人——时，杰弗里斯给出了一个谨慎的回应。
“我将支持纽约国会代表团乃至全国的每一位民主党现任议员，”杰弗里斯说道。
CNN重新翻出了阿维拉·舍瓦利耶的旧推文。其中一些内容赞扬了共产主义，另一些则呼吁在图书馆中增加马克思主义文献。本人就阿维拉·舍瓦利耶的一些旧社交媒体帖子是否应该要求杰弗里斯谴责她一事向他施压。
“她是否应该为自己发布的一些极具煽动性的推文道歉或澄清？”我问道。
“这个问题你得去问她，”杰弗里斯回答道。
“但作为领袖，这难道不是一个问题吗？”我追问道。
“我已经谈过这个问题。我已经表达了我对她过去在推特上发表的许多言论的立场，我的声明已经说明了一切，”杰弗里斯回答道。
随后，29岁的梅拉特·基罗斯在科罗拉多州击败了任职29年的众议员黛安娜·德盖特。基罗斯的胜利表明，民主社会主义的信息不仅在曼哈顿下城的城市峡谷中引起了共鸣，也在落基山脉地区得到了支持。
“我们为之奋斗的是全民医保、普及育儿、废除移民海关执法局（ICE），以及结束加沙的种族灭绝，”基罗斯说道。
这些都是左翼的核心议题。
“他们凭借全民医保、全民医疗保健、普及育儿、提高最低工资等纲领获胜，”众议员普拉米拉·贾亚帕尔（华盛顿州民主党）说道。“这些理念，无论你是否称之为社会主义，它们在全国范围内都非常受欢迎。”
进步派网红哈桑·皮克尔认为，这些候选人在纽约和科罗拉多州的胜利只是开始。
“进步政治、左翼民粹主义。它可以在每个州的每个选区奏效。这就是为什么我一遍又一遍地说，它即将来到你所在的城市，”皮克尔说道。
但并非所有人都持赞同态度。
“民主党人会继续为那些疯子辩护吗？”参议员约翰·费特曼（宾夕法尼亚州民主党）在福克斯新闻上说道。
众议员格雷格·兰兹曼（俄亥俄州民主党）是另一位批评者。他是一位温和派、支持以色列的民主党人，所在的摇摆选区在2024年支持了特朗普总统。
纽约民主社会主义者胜选后，哈基姆·杰弗里斯因“下一个就是你”口号陷入争议

“我的选民想要真正普通的人。民主党人、共和党人，只要能办实事就行。他们之所以关注这些，是因为这能吸引眼球，”兰兹曼说道。“我希望民主党不要走向那个方向。意见多元化是一回事。但他们中的一些人的想法太过离谱了。简直令人发指。”
兰兹曼希望民主党领导人能够公开谴责有争议的候选人及提名人选。
“他们甚至都不愿谴责这种行为，我认为这是民主党内部的一个潜流，他们害怕自己的基础选民，”众议员拉塞尔·弗莱（南卡罗来纳州共和党）说道。
众议员妮迪亚·贝拉兹克斯（纽约州民主党）在国会任职32年后即将退休。她与可能接任她席位的克莱尔·瓦尔迪兹并非同一阵营。
“你如何看待外界对你潜在继任者的一些争议？这是否正在党内制造分裂？”本人向贝拉兹克斯问道。
“听着，我们正在庆祝这项最高法院裁决的结果，它重申了宪法的基本原则：任何在这个国家出生的人都是美国公民，”贝拉兹克斯试图转移话题。
“但你是否与你的潜在继任者在某些问题上看法不一致？”我追问道。
贝拉兹克斯叹了口气。
“听着，她赢了，我祝她一切顺利。我主动提出要与她坐下来讨论过渡事宜。但这就是民主的运作方式，”贝拉兹克斯说道。
不过，其他民主党人认为，民主党可以秉持“大帐篷”理念运作并争取选民。
“我们有空间讨论我们的前进方向。但我们不是某一个人或某一个联盟的政党，我们将就未来的发展方向展开讨论，”众议员麦克斯韦尔·弗罗斯特（佛罗里达州民主党）说道。
众议员黛比·丁格尔（密歇根州民主党）认为，民主社会主义者在纽约市的胜选具有超出其本身的重大意义。她还表示，媒体利用民主党内部可能存在的分歧进行炒作是很自然的事情。
“我认为你们一直在试图煽动对立。使用这种语言挑拨离间，”丁格尔说道。
我就阿维拉·舍瓦利耶多年来宣扬的“有争议的言论”向丁格尔提问。
“我不必同意她说的每一句话。共和党人正在火上浇油，”丁格尔说道。
“难道不是她先挑起的事端吗？”我问道。
“听着，有些话我不会说。但我不在纽约投票。那里的选民才会投，”丁格尔回答道。
社会主义席卷西部，民主党社会主义者支持的挑战者击败长期任职的民主党议员

共和党人坚决反对社会主义。但从某种奇怪的角度来看，民主党向左倾斜的趋势实际上可能有助于共和党打破历史惯例，保住众议院席位。
“他们现在已经是一个彻头彻尾的社会主义政党了，”众议员拉尔夫·诺曼（南卡罗来纳州共和党）说道。“他们要么坦然接受，要么就与他们划清界限。”

当年披头士发行《回到苏联》时，美国保守派和右翼反动分子称这证明该乐队怀有共产主义情绪。
如今，美国右翼人士称民主党已经向左转。共和党人表示，听听民主社会主义者宣扬其观点的言论就知道了。在共和党人看来，这些候选人仿佛又回到了苏联。

The Democratic socialists are no longer on the fringe

Melat Kiros and Darializa Avila Chevalier won on Medicare for all platforms as Republicans warn the party has gone socialist

Kamala Harris coordinating with Zohran Mamdani in restructuring the left: Report
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, achieved a significant primary victory in Colorado, unseating a 29-year congressional incumbent, Diana DeGette. Her win is highlighted as part of a spreading trend of far-left candidates succeeding in primaries, a dynamic that could profoundly reshape the Democratic Party’s platform and direction.
No one will struggle to keep warm amid an historic heat wave gripping the eastern U.S.
But how about keeping “your comrade warm?”
No. You’re not back in the USSR.
But you might be in the Democratic party.
SOCIALISTS SWEEP NYC AS AMERICANS BALK AT MOVEMENT’S BRUTAL CATCH: ‘TALK TO IMMIGRANTS’

“You deserve to make sure that your international comrades are actually working with you and getting the benefits that you that you all deserve,” said Democratic New York House nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier at a union rally in New York City.
“Half of the people here are strangers to you all. But now you have comrades,” said Colorado Democratic Congressional nominee Melat Kiros who defeated Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) Tuesday.
“I’ve got to give a shout out to my comrades,” said Missouri Democratic Congressional candidate Hartzell Gray on a podcast interview.
To Democratic Socialists, you don’t know how lucky you are.
“You have the solidarity of the entire labor movement. And you have my solidarity, too,” said Democratic New York House nominee Claire Valdez.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) didn’t endorse either Avila Chevalier nor Valdez. However, he did congratulate them. Jeffries naturally needs Avila Chavalier, Valdez and Democratic New York House nominee Brad Lander to win. They probably will this fall. But when asked about progressives who prevailed in the New York primary – who he didn’t endorse – Jeffries delivered a nuanced answer.
“I will support every single Democratic incumbent in the New York Congressional delegation and beyond,” said Jeffries.
CNN resuscitated a set of old tweets from Avila Chevalier. Some praised communism. Others called for more Marxist literature in libraries. Yours truly pressed Jeffries about whether he should call out Avila Chevalier for some of her old social media postings.
“Should she apologize or clarify some of these very inflammatory tweets that she sent?” I queried.
“That’s a question you’re going to have to ask her,” answered Jeffries.
“But as Leader, is that a problem?” I followed up.
“I’ve spoken to this issue. I’ve expressed my position as it relates to many of the things that she has said in the past over Twitter. my statement speaks for itself,” answered Jeffries.
Then the 29-year-old Melat Kiros whipped 29-year House veteran Diana DeGette in Colorado. Kiros’s victory demonstrated that the Democratic Socialist message didn’t just resonate in the urban canyons of lower Manhattan. But in the Rocky Mountains, too.
“What we are fighting for is Medicare for all. Universal child care. Abolishing ICE. And ending the genocide in Gaza,” said Kiros.
These are core subjects for the left.
“They’re winning on platforms like Medicare for all. Universal health care. Universal childcare. Raising the minimum wage,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). “These ideas, whether you call it socialism or not, they are very popular across the country.”
Progressive influencer Hasan Piker believes victories by these candidates in New York and Colorado are just the beginning.
“Progressive politics, left populism. It can work in every district in every state. That’s why I kept saying over and over again, it’s coming to a city near you,” said Piker.
But not everyone is on board.
“Will Democrats continue to defend crazypants?” asked Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Fox.
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) is another. He’s a moderate, pro-Israel Democrat in a battleground district in which President Trump carried in 2024.
HAKEEM JEFFRIES CONFRONTED ON ‘YOU’RE NEXT’ CHANTS FOLLOWING NY DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST VICTORIES

“My folks want really normal folks. Democrats, Republicans, just people who are going to get things done. And so they see this because this is what gets attention,” said Landsman. “I hope the party doesn’t go in that direction. Having a diversity of opinions is one thing. But some of what some of them think is beyond the pale. It’s just outrageous.”
Landsman wished Democratic leaders would speak out against controversial candidates and nominees.
“The fact that they won’t even call it out, I think is an underlying current within the Democrat Party that they’re scared of their own base,” said Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC).
Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) is retiring after 32 years in Congress. She’s not aligned with her likely successor, Claire Valdez.
“So what do you make of some of the controversy about your prospective successor? And is that driving a wedge through the party?” yours truly asked Velazquez.
“Look, we are celebrating the outcome of this Supreme Court decision that reaffirm the fundamental principle of the Constitution that anyone born in this country is an American citizen,” answered Velazquez, trying to change the subject.
“But do you have but did you not see things eye to eye with your prospective successor here?” I followed up.
Velazquez sighed.
“Look, she won and I wish her well. And I offered myself to sit down with her and discuss the transition. But this is how democracy works,” said Velazquez.
Still, other Democrats believe the party can operate under a “big tent” and court voters.
“There’s room for conversations about where we go. But we’re not the party of one person or coalition and there’s going to be those discussions about where we move forward,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL).
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) asserted that wins by Democratic Socialists in New York City carried outsized weight. She also said that it was natural for the press corps to capitalize on possible divisions in the party.
“I think that you all try to stir it up. Stir up this language. Try to pit people against each other,” said Dingell.
I asked Dingell about “controversial things” which Avila Chevalier peddled over the years.
“I don’t have to agree with everything that she said. The Republicans are putting kerosene on the fire,” said Dingell.
“Didn’t she pour kerosene on it to start with?” I asked.
“Look, I wouldn’t have said some of the things that she said. But I don’t vote in New York. They do,” answered Dingell.
SOCIALISM GOES WEST AS DSA-BACKED CHALLENGER OUSTS LONGTIME DEMOCRAT

Republicans are adamantly opposed to socialism. But in a weird way, the Democratic lurch left might actually help the GOP beat the historic odds and hold the House.
“They’re a complete socialist party now,” said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC). “They’ve got to either own it or disassociate themselves from it.”

When the Beatles released Back In the USSR, American conservatives and right-wing reactionaries said this proved that the group harbored communist sentiments.
Now the American right says the Democratic party has turned to the left. Republicans say listen to the rhetoric of Democratic Socialists espousing their views. And to hear the GOP tell it, those candidates may as well be back in the USSR.
