I don’t know the answer to that. Most of the candidates as far as I know didn’t make lunatic statements that Daraliaza made that Ukraine was bullying Russia. Mamdani et al went for the easiest to win pick off three corporate Democrats. He also endorsed Brad Lander who is what they call liberal Zionists but talks about the genocide. I don’t know if DSA endorsed him. I think it is awful that many of these candidates are in the dog and pony show with Piker who is pro China repression China is “ socialist “ camp and pro Russian colonization / Occupation of Ukraine. Sayed (MI) campaigned with him.
