I’m glad to see a lot of the establishment defeated in NY. People may not want to hear this part tho: 1)not all the people who won in NY are actual progressives (do your research) 2) voter turn out was very low 3) it’s not a revolution to stay within a dying party. That said...

NY has figured out how to break through much of the old guard. It’s important to remain watchful because under Democrats their hands are tied. AOC has the opportunity to now oppose the democratic establishment as ardently in real life as she has opposed republicans on twitter

I’m definitely wary of calling those endorsed by Pelosi, Warren, & Other establishment Democrats progressive. But I have to say the biggest victory is the defeat of Engel by actual progressive Jamaal Bowman. To me, it’s huge the warmonger endorsed by Clinton & Schumer Lost bigly!

But none of this & I mean that with respect, should be a substitute for what the real revolution is, & that’s one in the streets. While we wait to see if people walk the walk, change is possible with millions of people taking to the streets. Electoral politics is minimal & slow.

Revolutions are not reform. They’re not complacency with a dying, corrupt party encroached by a crumbling system. Revolutions dismantle systemic capitalism & oppression & that will not come from a figurehead in D.C. It will come from you.
