Losing, correct

even in the article when someone asks these orgs why they are funding centrists in safe seat primaries instead of trying to win more competitive seats against republicans, the PR people basically say they just want to have a winning candidate in their pocket rather than try to win races and get legislation passed, it's remarkable

One of the most expensive races for state assembly in American history was when Buffy Wicks, a former Obama staffer and 2016 Hillary campaign, was going up against Jovanka Beckles, a Bernie endorsed candidates.

It is impossible to understand anything about modern democrats if you don't understand that their number 1 reason for being is to stop any leftward movement.

The Warren campaign, the Pete campaign, most of the big money CA/NY races are all about one thing: defeating even symbolically left wing candidates.

Disagree, if she had been even slightly successful they would have given her a prize but the only people who thought elizabeth warren was anything but a non-entity were warren supporters and some sanders supporters. The idea that sanders could have won if she'd dropped out inaccurately assumes she had any affect on the race at all.

The point is less whether she had an impact and more that the only way to understand why that nothing of a campaign got so much media attention and funding is because people thought she'd stop Bernie.

Much like how Pete's entire campaign strategy makes no sense from the point of view of trying to win it all.

Or Bloomberg's.

The first Black professor Harvard ever hired went on strike to protest the fact that they'd never hired a woman of colour. They fired him, and a year later hired Liz Warren.

the actual article is just :discourse:

https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/28/politics/us-economy-shrank-democrats-2022-midterm/index.html

"If things stay roughly where they are today -- in terms of economic measures like GDP and CPI and Americans' perceptions of the state of the economy -- Democrats will experience a cataclysm at the ballot box this fall. The question won't be whether they hold their paper-thin majorities in the House and Senate, but rather how big the electoral hole will be that they have to try to dig out from over the coming decade."

quote:

When Foushee revealed her first-quarter fundraising on April 15, she disclosed that the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the famously influential pro-Israel lobby, had bundled more than half of her $320,000 haul.

Thus far, Foushee herself has lacked the funding to spend more than a negligible amount on TV herself. But AIPAC’s new super PAC, United Democracy Project, has purchased $720,000 in airtime for TV ads promoting Foushee’s personal story and work.

And how narcissistic is it to not listen to people telling her that it was a bad idea or surrounding herself entirely with yass women so that there was no one who would raise concern?
