The Limits of Progressivism's Reach The Democratic primary in Wisconsin recently provided a reality check for the party's increasingly vocal progressive wing.
Francesca Hong, a self described socialist and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), fell short in her bid to become the party's nominee for governor by just 3,000 votes.
Hong's loss is significant because it shows that even in Wisconsin, which has been trending blue in recent years, more centrist candidates can still prevail.
