THE IDC IS NOT RIGHT WING. Theyre just corrupt greedy self aggrandizing assholes. Its important that we identify things that are differently bad for the different ways in which they are bad.

Might want to cross-post this in the US State and Local Politics 2018 thread. If you're a new candidate and can't keep your story straight journalists are going to be all over you.  Also, some groups don't take kindly to being mislead: Citizens Union drops endorsement of Julia Salazar, citing 'not correct' information about her academic credentials

But I dont think its wrong for voters to be suspicious that a candidate is sincere about their politics when theyre so incredibly cagey about their biography. Basically what Im saying is it blows that Dilan has such a lousy candidate for a challenger. (See also, Liu and Avella, where, I dont doubt Lius progressive bonafides, but a lot of folks in the district still havent forgotten the campaign finance scandals that brought him down the first time.)

it's fairly clear to me at this point that (a) Salazar is the subject of an organized campaign by powerful people to destroy her, likely because of her anti-Zionist positions on Israel, and (b) that she actually has been dishonest about substantial portions of her biography and given her enemies ammunition. not mutually exclusive for instance https://twitter.com/devinbriski/status/1039595655902257152

And Tablet would have been a receptive venue no matter what her position re: Zionism, because that sort of who is a real Jew, anyway? Bullshit is their stock in trade.

Unless you have good cause to argue that Julia Salazar is going to wake up a day after her election and reveal herself to be a secret Zionist Corporatist, who honestly gives a gently caress, unless you're in the business of cementing the only people who can run for office are rich gated community dickheads who have never done a day's actual work in their goddamn life

The knock on the woman who grew up next door to baseball superstar Keith Hernandez is that she is not a rich gated community dickhead. Listen. I like Salazars politics. I hope she wins. I dont live in her district and wont be voting for her as a result. But oh my god was she the worst possible candidate to run with those politics it seems like.
