NEWS: Three Democratic Socialist candidates won primaries in New York, cementing a big shift in the Democratic party.
Here is a summary of each of the candidates and their radical stances:
Claire Valdez (NY-7): Grant citizenship & voting rights to illegals, use taxpayer funds for all transgender treatments, & eliminate private health insurance.
Darializa Avila Chevalier (NY-13): Abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish borders, defund the police, and “all deportations are wrong”, including for violent criminals. In a now-deleted tweet, she said “I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”
Brad Lander (NY-10): Abolish ICE, forgive all student loans (~$2 trillion), expand the Supreme Court.
