Putting my DCCC political strategist hat back on for a minute, the DSA vs. normie Dem debate is overlooking an important fact. Black Democratic turnout has been surging since the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act and cleared the way for the Trump-backed redistricting wave. Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Michigan, and Tennessee. When voting is not a luxury and your rights are on the line, politics stops being an Ivy League seminar — and there's no patience for faculty lounge debate. It's existential, and the national media would do well to see there's more than one story coming out of these primaries.
