The phenomena of democratic socialists winning Democrat nominations and general elections are new. This is not true. These are just openly socialist.
Seven decades of traditional Democrat rule ruined our big cities. So what do people do? Hand governance to Revolutionary Communist Democrats who promise to fix the messes their predecessors made in the preceding seven decades.
Never underestimate the idiocy of big city dwellers.
What I don’t see is the change in demographics in these big deep blue cities. The educated whites are being replaced by migrants and lower IQ minorities, yes they are - ask Justice Jackson. They are more more gullible to get free stuff without the knowledge of economics.

Citiots. What more can I say?
