For the first time, Democrats’ center-right caucus holds a majority in Congress. But their growing strength is out of step with where the base is headed — a huge opportunity for labor and the left.
Taking this onboard, I wonder, how does the party-wide congressional pattern you mention, look if restricted to the few congressional seats where Republicans tend to compete credibly with Democrats at general elections? That is, what do these patterns look like in "swing" districts? Or for that matter, "lean" districts? As compared with one-party congressional districts where DSA and other left-liberal activists typically self-confine?
This is important information. Thank you, Neal.

Great question! Good material for a future post. :)
