The democratic socialist Melat Kiros unseated the long-serving US representative Diana DeGette in Colorado’s primary elections held on Tuesday, the latest in a string of high-profile victories for the party’s insurgent left.
The Associated Press reported that Kiros had defeated DeGette for the Democratic nomination in the deep-blue first congressional district centered on Denver. Kiros’s triumph came a week after New York voters unseated two Democratic congressional incumbents and replaced a third who was retiring with candidates who had campaigned on standing up to Israel amid accusations that it was carrying out a genocide in Gaza.
Morale bombing is never militarily justified because there are now decades of evidence that it never fucking works. It’s a waste of ammunition, a waste of lives, a waste of humanitarian goodwill, tactically meaningless and strategically counterproductive because it will just galvanise resistance.
Now, economic bombing, that is reasonable. Hit the machines that pay for Russia’s war. Bleed the oligarchs dry. But there is no value in hitting civilians. They’re not the primary target anyway.
