Rahm Emanuel knows his way around Democrat politics. He was chief of staff in the Obama White House and served as mayor of Chicago. During a recent appearance on CNN, he spoke about the DSA victories in New York City this week and he made a very good point.
These wins didn’t really help the Democrats to grow. They only took blue seats and made them darker blue.
There are plenty of reasons for conservatives to dislike Rahm Emanuel, but he is exactly right about this.

RAHM EMANUEL: I spent my life turning red districts blue. What the socialist wing has decided to do is turn blue districts, dark blue…
The way you create a majority, either in the legislative body or win the presidency, is moving red areas to blue, not blue areas to cobalt blue or to midnight blue. And that’s all that happens.
Take a look in Omaha. We’ve lost three times with the most progressive candidate. We finally got a person like Denise Powell, and we’re in a position to finally flip a seat. That’s how you build a majority.
And if you also look presidentially, seven states, 500,000 voters across those states, Caitlin, have decided the last three presidents. None of those states — Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, the industrial Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania — they’re not electing socialists.

What Emanuel is going to find is that his party has changed drastically since the Obama years.
Democrat primary voters are not too keen on Israel or the Jewish people who support it.
