    dem socialist winners:https://www.axios.com/democratic-socialist-candidates-who-have-won-in-2018-midterms-6bf604a3-ee98-4ab3-9e63-349aec324c43.html

    At least 46 Democratic socialist candidates and two DSA-backed ballot measures have won their primaries in 2018, according to a list compiled by the DSA.

    Of those, 14 were endorsed by the national DSA chapter (but the other were endorsed by their local chapter.)
    Four of their candidates are running for U.S. House; the rest are running for state-level office, like state House, state Senate, and city council.

    Some DSA victories this cycle include:

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Julia Salazar in New York

    James Thompson in Kansas
    Rashida Tlaib in Michigan
    Sarah Smith in Washington
    Four women in Pennsylvania, all backed by the Philly chapter of DSA, won their primaries for state House: Summer Lee and Sara Innamorato both unseated longtime Democratic incumbents, and Elizabeth Fiedler and Kristin Seale won their races.

    There was suppression going on. Machines not working in certain states. Ballots were switching votes. Native Americans were not allowed to vote in North Dakota, to help Kevin Cramer win in a tainted victory, . Trump using fear tactics. Three Republicans running in elections that they can decide who wins or loses. Anything else I missed?
