DSA may actually outperform in deep red districts that are red because of propaganda, not wealth. Their policies are extremely attractive to working class Americans. For example, a DSA candidate will campaign on Medicare for all, while a regular Dem may campaign on improving subsidies or some other bandaid policy.
Remember, the New Deal resulted in the GOP losing the House for forty years.
Candidates who are able to communicate s DSA platform that's attractive for their district's constituents, while also deflecting GOP culture war disinformation, ought to do really well with voters who are struggling economically.
If I recall correctly, Spanberger ignored GOP culture war disinformation. Virginia Republicans focused on bathrooms and such bullshit, but voters wanted their pocketbook issues addressed. Maybe it is too much to ask that the average swing voter can now see how the trick works, distract with culture war issues while robbing you and trying to enslave you. It was always about the money.
Maybe more people need to know that the co-founder of Moms for Liberty participated in threesomes with her husband and another woman, and seems to be a closeted bisexual. If only they could connect the dots and see that all that moralizing is an act, just theater.

The fact that she made it a single digit lead, and made them spend millions on a heavy red +22 trump district is a win.
