Wisconsin Primary Socialism Test

    por Flint: Francesca Hong

    Democrats are reportedly in panic mode as socialist Francesca Hong surges in the Wisconsin governor Democratic primary, with the big worry being she gets demolished by Trump-backed Tom Tiffany. Her wish list is wild: state-run grocery stores, state-run banks, surge taxes on millionaires and companies, IDs for undocumented immigrants, and a $20 minimum wage. REJECT SOCIALISM! #FrancescaHong

    member Francesca Hong leading David Crowley by double digits. That is prompting panic among mainstream Democrats who fear that she may be too far left to win in November. So now Hong's platform includes includes a lot of things. Public health care and state-run banks and grocery stores repealing the right to work, raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on the rich, and then state IDs for illegal immigrants. All that on top of the past tweets calling to abolish the police, cancel Thanksgiving. But she's starting to temper these things a little bit, saying, you know, it's just a bunch of stuff I tweeted. Watch this. Sometimes I think that my, uh, I had some hot takes, some bad takes on Twitter. But I've evolved, I've learned. I think it's more dishonest not to learn. So I'm feeling right now very grateful to be at this point in the campaign and to continue to talk about the issues that people care about most of public schools. Shared revenue, health care, taxing the ultra-wealthy, and that moratorium on data centers. Okay, so Alexandria Hoff is in Madison, Wisconsin, at the center of it all. Hi, Alex. Hey, Martha, good to be with you. Yeah, when Democrat primary voters head to the polls tomorrow, they're going to be answering the question, how far left is the party willing to go? Francesca Hong, as you mentioned, she is considered the frontrunner in this governor's race. She is a state representative, former restaurant owner, and Democratic socialist endorsed by the DSA. This is the type of politics that's scary people.
