Pretty much.

For all the current US administration has complained about the opposition being “socialist,” they’ve certainly gone all-in on the state partially owning private companies.

Almost like cries of “socialism” have become a dog whistle instead of what the term actually means.

Not a dog whistle when its actually true. How many more DSA candidates need to be elected before you stop saying this?

Candidates endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America have scored victories in 35 primary elections so far this year, including upsets against entrenched incumbents.

Those people haven't been elected at all, yet.

And at what level are they? Aren't there over half a million elected officials, one way or another, in the USA?

There are nearly twenty thousand at state level or above.
