“A total of five democratic socialists, and possibly a sixth, won races for alderman either in February or in Tuesday’s runoff elections,” reports CBS Chicago.

The results come as leading national Democrats -including Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez- endorsed the total abolishment of the Electoral College and other progressive policies heading into the 2020 race for the White House.
