Fats Dominar is on the case


depending on where she lives wu would be trying to primary Kennedy, Clark, Capuano or Lynch, any of which would pick their teeth with her bones

however she's not actually running since she's a giant scam artist and this is a way to drum up sympathy and get donations from extremely woke video game people. if she does "run" we're gonna get one extremely fake story about how a trump supporter put a cigarette out on her arm while she was canvassing and a giant PayPal donation button

iirc she lives in katherine clark's district so it's unclear how she thinks she'd win that seat.

Even if she had some decent ideas in there, her pitch is so focused to a very narrow set of concerns (tech-savvy liberals) that it doesn't particularly inspire confidence. It makes me think of the 2008 election here in my city. Smoking had just been banned in bars in Iowa, so you had a surge in local level Republicans that owned bars/clubs and whose main issue was BRING BACK SMOKING IN BARS. They all got mauled, by a larger margin than the other Republicans.

Yeah, plus he's an egomaniac and is prone to saying campaign-ending things on the record. The fact that he's done some genuinely great things tends to get lost in the controversy, unfortunately, which isn't fair. The Right has pretty successfully tarred and feathered him.

Also, if this article is any indication, wouldn't Wu be trying to primary a strong ally of hers? I don't get it, unless Clark is actually planning on running for governor or something.

Virginia is the site of one of two governor's elections next year, so it's a key place to start. It's also gerrymandered to poo poo on a state level so some amount of organizing could go a long way.
