It’s happening right before our eyes. The Democrat Party, which has already been to the left of Vladimir Lenin since the rise of Barack Obama, is sprinting even further left. What’s more, the current crop of Democrat leaders either don’t see what is coming or they’re trying to dismiss it as just a ‘faction’ of their party that happens to be experiencing a little growth spurt right now.
That includes ‘leader’ Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Just the other day, Dollar Store Obama appeared to dismiss the rising socialist faction within his party as if it weren’t a big deal. But it is a big deal: After two Mamdani-backed, card-carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) political party won their respective House primaries last Tuesday in New York, all eyes turned to Colorado’s 1st Congressional District Democrat primary, which featured longtime incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette facing off against DSA member Melat Kiros. The primary was Tuesday night, and, with 78 percent reporting as of this writing, Decision Desk HQ has called it for Kiros in what may be the biggest primary upset for an incumbent Democrat House member this midterm election cycle. DeGette, 68, is Colorado’s longest-serving member of Congress, having been in office since 1997 in a district drawn for Democrat victories. Though she faced two opponents in the primary, the one who worried establishment Democrats the most was Kiros, a 29-year-old lawyer and former barista who, like many other DSA candidates, was backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Ahead of Colorado's results, read DDHQ's preview of the key races. (link below)

Perhaps the top race is #CO01, where democratic socialist Melat Kiros is primarying longtime Rep. Diana DeGette (D) from the left. This is just the latest left-vs.-establishment clash for Dems. pic.twitter.com/RfhLFZ5nHp
In addition to being an anti-capitalism socialist, Kiros is a vile human being for other reasons too, such as claiming America somehow deserved 9/11:

Naturally, she also blamed Israel for the October 7 deadly surprise attack by Hamas, and won’t call out deadly anti-Semitism in her own neighborhood. Once more, why most American Jews vote for these horrible ‘Democrats’ is beyond my comprehension:
Melat Kiros has said the massacre of Israeli civilians on Oct 7 was "the inevitable consequence of apartheid."

I asked Kiros if she thought the same thing about 9/11 and US foreign policy.
And she declined to call the firebombing of Jews in Boulder an act of anti-semitism. pic.twitter.com/WYTETFLNeX
Denver socialist Melat Kiros has refused to call a firebomb attack on Jews an act of anti-Semitism. https://t.co/eC9ygNzkQ6 She insists that she cannot say what "was in the heart" of Mohamed Sabry Soliman when he burned to death an elderly Jewish woman at a pro-Israel rally…

Oh, and she hates normal Democrats (there aren’t many, I know, but…), especially those who support Israel’s right to exist (bad language alert):
Melat Kiros said her campaign made a mistake posting an ad from a progressive PAC that said centrist Democrats "fellate Israel" and "suck shit."

And here’s the merry little socialist celebrating Coloradans losing their jobs because “muh defense contractors” or something:
Democrats cheering for elective job losses in their state will never cease to be absolutely wild to me. https://t.co/q8yb2gB8Gm

Socialists talk about ‘good jobs for all’ unless they come from disfavored companies, like those who actually exist to defend these whack jobs.
But there’s more:
Kiros immigrated from Ethiopia as a baby, then got fired from her corporate law gig after publicly defending pro-Hamas protests and questioning Israel’s right to exist right after Oct 7. Now she’s running on ending all U.S. aid to Israel, an “arms embargo,”, accusing establishment Dems of profiting from “genocide.”, Medicare for All and Dismantling ICE.
Pleasant, huh? This district typically leans heavily Democratic, so even though Kiros has a Republican opponent, newcomer Christy Peterson, in the upcoming fall election, she is likely to be the favorite to win. Last Tuesday, members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) were seen in New York City taunting House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), suggesting he might be “next” on their list of Democratic leaders to challenge. This challenge would likely take place in 2028, assuming he runs for reelection. These socialists will continue to win in blue regions because pushing jealousy of success and promising the moon for free will get you votes. But I don’t expect this to move into red America anytime soon. That said, buckle up, Temu Obama. Your time is coming.
