The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.

The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

    Did you know when a corporate news outlet prints something it gets amplified across the world?

    Do you think the Guardian editors know that? Do you think they like making $800,0000 dollars a year? Would such a thing induce them to take suggestions from their bosses?

    No? Just pure journalistic integrity, eh. *snif* That’s beautiful, man.

      It was an opinion piece submitted by a reader. And as I’ve already pointed out, they also published opposing opinions.

      Not to mention, the original opinion in question was not even pro-russian as you seem to be trying to insinuate.

      Is it pro-hamas to say Israel should have avoided killing Palestinian civilians when they retaliated for October 7th? Is it pro-zionist to say Palestinian groups should have avoided killing israeli civilians when they retaliated for Israel’s aggressive settler-colonialism and ethnic cleansings?
