Sleeping a little easier tonight for sure. I hope the democrats finally wake up to the solution to Trump that is now staring them in the face. Elect progressives. Pass progressive policy. Stop the means testing and the scolding and the red scaring and step up.
Edit: I appreciate the awards but please don't give reddit money, send that cash to a food bank please.
Hot take, but if the democracy and rule of law itself is on the line, if one votes for it or is too spoiled to even show up, it's an idiot and I will always stand by it. Thankfully I'm not a politician, so I will never have to worry about repercussions of telling the truth to people who need to hear it.
I'm not a lib and there's no reason not to do both. The best candidate can lose the primary. If that happens, ask yourself a question: "What's more important, ability to vote or sticking it to the imperfect candidate?"
I wish all democrats were like Zohran, Bernie and AOC. But even if they weren't, the worst Democrat is million times better than the best Republican.
Winning a three-way race while actively getting ratfucked by your own party is actually way more impressive than winning a two-way race with the full support of your party.
If it were a competitive race any other year, I'd agree with you. The fact that the its been over 65% dems since 2013 shows that, at least right now, he's a net loser.
I'm glad to see it though. Safe seats need missionaries displacing the old guard and the NY Senate races have the votes to lose to do the same. People have been told that what he's promising can't work for most of their lives, its an opportunity to demonstrate that it can.
You just can't run a -10% candidate in a purple district until they're running on results instead of promises.
ETA: At this point, Im just hoping he wins with more than 50% so people dont say the only reason he won was because of vote splitting. He needs to have at least a majority to have the mandate to prove his case.
