im very mad at all the problems. kids dont have food to eat, their schools are bad, people die for no reason, and nobody cares enough to just fix things

Have you ever considered that maybe the way to fix these problems is to abandon people to them and also give the already wealthy more money?

yea seeing people suicidal over the DCC failing to flip an extremely blood red district is kinda adorable. The point was less to create a miracle win and more to have the news of the day be 'Republicans sweating what used to be a gimmie district'. Like, trump had to robocall for Estuss, that's a thing that people pick up on.

20k would not have changed the result even in the slightest, if they wanted to move it to 5 it would have taken an hundreds of thousands a few weeks out

elections are really expensive

A lot of folks have wondered why the DCCC or other DC groups didn’t get involved here earlier. My take: Had the D-Trip started spending money here, it would have instantly nationalized this race and turned it into Ron Estes vs. Nancy Pelosi. That’s a recipe for a guaranteed loss in a district like this one. The only way this race was ever going to be close was via sneak attack.


My god they're really going that way with this, aren't they.

Also wanna punch whoever this is for saying "D-Trip"

I would expect democrats to do more than tweet but since it is a Bernie bro they don't do anything.

What the gently caress else are they doing anyways?

well they also didnt do anything because before like this past week the best guess anyone could make about the viability of the district was that its top percentile conservative and hasnt gone blue in decades

as for what theyre doing, idk. presumably fielding a lot of angry phone calls or ranting about Russian kompromat into an Arbys drive through window

lol whatever happened to the <10 is a win crew

I thought you knew better than to expect anything but self-defeating ignorant hate from these hicks

The lesson here is that the path to victory is a combination of running progressives and making GBS threads hard on the GOP so that the CHUDs who will never, ever, ever vote for a Dem ever just don't turn out

You couldn't have asked for a situation more likely to tailor an upset and it still was never gonna deliver. You were warned. Now get screaming and shaming and don't stop until 2020
