When the Democratic Socialists of America was invited along with new left-wing parties and movement organizations to observe the recent presidential election in Chile, I wasn't hopeful that we'd be witnessing a victory. I was still excited to go as DSA's representative because I partly came to socialism because of my Chilean-born father's support of (and subsequent punishment for his participation in) the leftist Popular Unity in the early 1970s.
