The radical left IS taking over the Democratic Party and its the establishments fault

New York’s establishment Democrats got eaten alive Tuesday night — and they did it to themselves.Worse, the national party has the same problem.Heck, Brooklyn’s Sen.Chuck Schumer and Rep.

Hakeem Jeffries, the top two Dems in Congress, just got humiliated in their own backyard — and radical candidates across the country are declaring they’ll demand new House and Senate leaders once they win.The socialists have another big chance in Los Angeles, where Nithya Raman could well win this fall’s runoff against the utterly awful Mayor Karen Bass after the establishment-built open-primary rules shut down Spencer Pratt’s challenge.Other “moderates” across the nation may go along with the Democratic Socialists just to stay off the hit list: That’s what Gov.Kathy Hochul has done by appeasing Mayor Zohran Mamdani.He kept up his end of the bargain by not backing a lefty primary challenge to the gov — but he’s now greatly upped the DSA’s power in Albany with victories in legislative races to match Tuesday’s sweep of three House contests.Hochul has been telling moderate Dems she can hold back the socialists; she’s now betrayed them — a damning repeat of Andrew Cuomo’s years as gov.All the establishment losers figured they had it easy in safe Democratic seats: Just keep up the Orange Man Bad schtick; continue burning taxpayer money to feed your nonprofit and union allies; never call out the absolute lunacy pushed by the far left.Heck, echo that idiocy: It wins you primary votes, right? In blue America, that’s all you really need.Except that refusing to stand up to the crazies normalizes the madness, leaving voters no clear reason to stick with you when the extremists say it more convincingly.Party machines were also fine with the steady drop in turnout for primaries: It made it easier for the handful of insiders (and their special-interest allies) to fend off challengers .
