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.
Because they don’t want successful leftists proving that socialism and democracy can go hand-in-hand. They want to have their ill-conceived revolution and fuck all what happens after it so long as it results in the complete breakdown of the fabric of society. They imagine themselves as the authoritarian dictators in what comes after, even though it could just as easily be anyone else.
I’ve asked them what their plan is for replacing industry, supply chains, transportation, maintenance, and all those other things after their “revolution” and they’ve basically cussed me out and said “What the fuck does any of that matter? Why are you even thinking about that or bringing it up?”
All they want is chaos and destruction. They’re petulant children who want to get their way and are willing to break other people’s things if they don’t.
