| Top flashpoint | ‘Abolish the Senate’ and past abolition language resurfacedA 2021 post saying ‘Abolish the Senate’ and older statements about police and prison abolition were used to tie Hong to the most sweeping version of the national DSA program. | · |
| Their response | Her campaign said the Senate post was a frustrated reaction to Trump’s acquittal, was not her current position, and that police and prison abolition were no longer policies she would pursue as governor. Hong also said she did not agree with every national DSA plank. | · |
| Why it fits Piker | Hong’s service-worker identity, universal childcare plan, corporate-PAC refusal, and democratic-socialist coalition fit Piker’s class-first politics; resurfaced abolition rhetoric exposed the distance between movement slogans and a statewide campaign. | · |
