Far-Left Democrats Lose to Far-Far-Left DSA Challengers

A fundamental error distorts news about the Democratic Socialists of America’s takeover of the Democratic Party. Journalists claim that the DSA’s radical contenders and their comrades are defeating “moderate” Democratic incumbents. Pundits are wondering how pro-Hamas Abdul El-Sayed deprived “centrist” Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan’s Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.

While the largely triumphant DSA candidates are as left-wing as advertised, the “middle-roaders” whom they are ousting are no such thing. Far-left Democratic incumbents are losing to far-far-left DSA challengers.

To judge Stevens’ alleged centrism, consult her American Conservative Union/CPAC ratings. ACU averages key roll-call votes into lifetime CPAC scores. With 0% farthest-left and 100% farthest-right, moderate Democrats should land in the middle quintile, between 40% and 60%.

Stevens’ lifetime CPAC rating is a paltry 5%. While Americans for Prosperity (AFP) gave her a 9% lifetime score, Heritage Action’s total was a microscopic 1%. 

Congressman Shri Thanedar lost his primary to DSA favorite Donavan McKinney. Thanedar is no moderate. AFP rated him at 15%. The Institute for Legislative Analysis scored him at 9.14%. ACU/CPAC clocked him at just 1%.

Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Adriano Espaillat, D–N.Y., is no centrist. His 8% Club for Growth lifetime performance roughly doubles his 4.22%........
