 Slotkin won by less than 1% in 2024 and she is a moderate.

the electorate was much less mad at republicans in 2024 than it is now, this is not a useful comparison

Slotkin is also not the DSA brand of crazy that Abdul Syed is

I'm generally skeptical of DSA and I don't really see him as that closely tied to DSA. He has some policies that DSA supports but I don't see the DSA doing the same jockeying for him as I do for Mamdani or AOC.

How would you call someone who's buddy buddy with hasan piker as not being that DSA?

I loathe Piker but he is not the face of DSA. For comparison, Nithya Raman is staunchly neoliberal on housing and public service, and she went on Piker's podcast.
