Democrats, DSA have to get along for blue wave to matter | Opinion

NEW YORK CITY — Crystal chandeliers. Marble columns. As much security as the airport. I walked into the New York Democrats' election night watch party at the Hilton in midtown, knowing I could only be there for a few minutes. With multiple parties happening across the city on Nov. 3, I would have had to clone myself to be everywhere I needed to be to watch as Democrats ushered in their blue wave . Would I go to the smaller Democratic Socialists of America's gathering or stay to watch as the establishment Democrats toasted success? I chose to check in on the DSA. Election night was more than a clear indication that voters are tired of MAGA. It was more than a clear message that Democrats won over voters . It was also a reminder that Democrats need to figure out how to work together. Progressives and moderates alike. Nothing made that clearer than their New York watch parties. El-Sayed asked Michigan voters to reject MAGA. They listened | Opinion One election night, two very different Democratic victory parties I started at the Manhattan hotel room where Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James would make their victory
