The idpol vs ecpol dichotomy is wicked false, everybody ITT knows it's false, we've been saying for literal years it's false false false

Justice is justice

there are sadly a few who do not grasp this fact, and believe that noticing injustices based on identity markers is forever tainted by its association with the dreaded lib.

fortunately they are both few in number and fairly easy to shut up

Honestly JFavs isn't 100% wrong here

It's tough to thread the needle of being Mad Enough about the poo poo we're doing wrong while being inspiring and hopeful about how we can still make it right, but AOC managed it, Berno managed it, anyone who wants to win on the left needs to manage it

I was chuckling pretty hard when that hit my feed.

TBH I'm a little wary of Iron Stache for having been on the Pod Save's and being spotted early. I hope I'm wrong for having this bad feeling.

The distinct lack of EMILY's list support also makes me all the happier. they're just a gate keeper and need to go the way of the dinosaur.

Bryce was running in the Speaker's own district and also made a huge splash for his first impression, it's not unusual that there'd be more eyes on WI-01 than on other districts.

They aren't mutually exclusive.

I can be hopeful in progressive policies becoming more mainstream, but also relish in throwing bad dems out on their rear end. Campaigning on both is alot better for turnout then one or the other.

The worst case for Iron Stache is that you get a business friendly left-liberal instead of Paul Ryan. Or I guess the worst case is that Paul Ryan wins anyway.

Probably Congressional primaries are the best opportunity we have to effect change with grassroots campaigns, because it's a lot easier to mobilize one district than an entire state

IronStache has called for abolishing ICE, and Cathy Myers has specifically distanced herself from that position.
