“Until this week’s Florida primary, corporate and AIPAC Democrats could comfort themselves with the belief that the surge of democratic socialists was largely limited to a few big cities and college towns. But then DSA member Angie Nixon, a three-term state rep from Jacksonville, trounced the impeccably credentialed centrist Alex Vindman by 12 points. Vindman, with heavy AIPAC and corporate support, had outraised Nixon 19-to-1, having a war chest of more than $16 million compared to Nixon’s less than a million. Nixon’s victory was so improbable that she was not even on the radar of DSA, which did not bother to endorse her. … Expecting to cruise to victory in the primary, Vindman did not deign to campaign, saving his war chest for the general election.” (08/21/26)
