"We got so close in SC5 without spending much money by running someone from Goldman Sachs. Therefore, all of our candidates should be from Goldman Sachs going forward!" -that'll be the Democratic party's take from these results.

we'll see a crucial test of this in new jersey

this seat was actually more competitive than either of those seats, dems just historically have run trash candidates with no money here in the past

this time they ran a trash candidate w/ lots of money

"It was actually more competitive," I insist, as a candidate with $30 million in support posts comparable numbers to the guy who begged for $40k.

Slightly hot take: The local dem parties from these rich as gently caress white suburbs aren't going to get more effective or run better candidates because that would require completely questioning the ideological bases of US suburban middle class culture and that's a lot less polite than just acting like politics is a polite gentlemen's agreement.

well, one solution might have been for a left candidate, any left candidate, to actually get recruited and run. as i mentioned before, if ossoff and a leftist had split their vote 50/50 in first round, it would be a dem v dem runoff

for example multiple times i saw trucks with giant LCD screens displaying campaign logos doing nothing but driving up and down a major road

it's like yard signs were evolving and developing sentience

I loving love mobile advertisement's like that. I mean what's a better idea then driving a truck duringbumper to bumper traffic where everyone around you knows you shouldn't even need be there, except that some out of touch piece of poo poo who doesn't drive himself anywhere paid you to be there. Meanwhile everyone else is just trying to get home after a miserable day.

I feel so bad for people living in that district.

This race doesn't even matter. It barely affects the ratio, and will happen again next year.
