Centrism did not win the Democratic party the election

The blue wave, while a rebuke of Trump’s policies, was also a referendum on the party’s status quo

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Moderate Democrats vastly overperformed their expected margins. All DSA-aligned candidates underperformed. DSA-endorsed candidates ran against Democrats in the general election, not Republicans, and didn't flip a single House or Senate seat from Republican to Democrat. x.com/SaintHeartwing… wlrn.org/government-pol… npr.org/2026/11/03/g-s…

Over 50 DSA victories tonight prove socialism can win in the U.S. Workers deserve more and a reality where all of us live with dignity and hope is closer than we think. The job's not done, though. Tomorrow, we continue organizing, fighting, and winning for the working class!

Here’s what U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Detroit City Council’s Denzel McCampbell say they are doing to address anti-Blackness and Islamophobia: “It’s about talking about it. Some people don’t even want to call it that. Anti-Blackness exists in Arab, immigrant communities…”

Michigan’s government should work for the people, not powerful corporations. Vote YES on Proposal 2 to help take corporate money out of Michigan politics and begin to fix a broken campaign finance system!

DSA is proud to endorse Mop Up Michigan, supported by DSA chapters across the state. This measure would help get corporate money out of Michigan politics, including from utilities like DTE and companies with government contracts.
