    two DSA members won in chicago on tuesday and, accounting for possible runoff wins, the DSA in chicago could have as large as a five person alderman caucus (out of 50 total) by the end of april, which is quite a testimony to how meteorically the DSA has risen in some places. this was pretty unthinkable even three years ago back in 2016. see also: the sun-times and jacobin articles on this.
