As with Mamdani in New York and Wilson in Seattle, the DSA-backed campaign of Rae Huang is a political trap.

If you want to see non-USA content then feel free to post it. Though you're also free to block the comm, that's fine too.

To the extent that electoralism matters at all though, LA is significant on a global scale, having a population of 4 million in the city proper and 18 million in the greater metro area. It's not like this is some Nate Silver micro-analysis about some random town in Iowa ahead of Super Tuesday (if that sounds like gibberish, then my point is doubly made)

It would also be significant if a DSA tide does happen after Mamdani, so this story has more of a national relevance than LA in isolation.
