The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.

The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

    Is it a good move for a DSA candidate to primary Bernie Sanders?

    You’re simply being pedantic.

    “You bet your ass if Bernie continued Zionist takes that he will not have support of DSA (hell, he lost the support of his own staff, as I sourced). AOC lost her national endorsement for these exact reasons. Are we going to primary AOC and Bernie? Likely not; our efforts/money are better spent elsewhere.”

      Still avoiding answering the question because you keep trying to have a separate conversation that has nothing to do with what I initially replied to you for.

      I’ll ask again. Do you think it’s a good strategy for DSA to primary Bernie Sanders?

      It’s a yes or no answer mate.
