Rose movement communist Cori Bush, a Justice Democrat and Black Lives Matter organizer, defeated Rep. Lacy Clay in Missouri District 1 representing St. Louis City. Lacy Clay is far-left but she is much further to the left if you can imagine that.
Justice Democrat Max Berger is thrilled:
I’m not sure people understand how enormous of an upset it is for @CoriBush to defeat Lacy Clay.
She’s a nurse who’s never held elective office. She doesn’t know rich people she can call for big checks. She didn’t moderate her stances to accommodate the status quo.
It’s huge.

Her victory is a testament to the growing power of @justicedems and the entire progressive wing of the party. @alexandrasiera, @_waleedshahid and the JD crew keep getting better. @HelenBrosnan and @fshakir ran top-notch IEs.
Working people are getting organized.

Watch:
.@CoriBush thanks @BernieSanders during her victory speech:
“Let me also thank somebody who stood with me that did not have to stand with me, [somebody] that you all probably know very well — I gotta call out Senator Bernie Sanders.” pic.twitter.com/WDKsoY7OwJ

If you doubt that she is a communist, check out what her movement stands for [And don’t forget BLM is a Marxist movement]:
We are witnessing the collapse of the American empire in real time.
