There’s another clear explanation for why DSA candidates don’t do well in NYCHA projects: It’s because they are completely out of touch with how public housing residents feel and what public housing residents actually want. You ask people living there what they’re worried about, what they want their local lawmakers to act on, and it’s public safety. They’re sick of feeling like prisoners in their own homes because of gangs, drugs, and violence. They want police there, going after the people who make life hell for the majority of residents who just want to raise their families and live their lives in peace. “Defund the police?” OK, and then what happens to the people in the projects when the gangs know they can act with impunity? DSA can’t admit to themselves that, hey, Black people don’t all see the cops as roving fascist death squads out to kill them. They come in with luxury beliefs and then can’t understand why someone people can’t afford them.
Oh, and I think “Scarsdale” is a dog-whistle. It means Jews who have worked hard and risen up the professional ranks to the upper-middle-class. Jacobin can take the mask off now; we’ve already seen it slip enough times.
How dare you say that “Free Palestine” isn’t the most important issue for the working class, unions, the environment. You’re going the be run out of the cult with that unacceptable divergence from approved dogma.

Really not so many people want to buy what GND pro Hamas so called progressives are selling. Because it’s garbage.
They’re completely insane.
Now the termite is crawling around looking for a new district to try to run in.
