It's also worth pointing out that the fact that the guy who had the office left for a lobbying firm is almost certainly because he saw this coming and got out before he had to run in a difficult election
also worth pointing out the fact that he immediately went into a lobbying gig is another reason why everyone hates politicians and is turning toward maga fantasies

Diehard libs keep twisting themselves into knots to blame others for the ineptitude and apathy shown by the Dems. Reflecting on policy and outreach and material reality are verboten, they are The Good Guys and they never fail they are only failed by false allies.

So that TX34 election which elected the first Mexican-born member of congress, but whoops hang on she's a Republican?!?

You'd hope that maybe it's the slightest bit of a crack-ping.

But I'm concerned a bunch of coastal libs are going to denigrate the voters just like in Nov 2016: "they voted against their own best interests just to support misguided identity politics! They're what's preventing us from making real progress! Also #khive #itsherturn #abuela2024"

Are they treating it like a bellwether result? Or have they already moved past it to focus on anything else?

I have already seen people dealing with it this way:
"The district in November will be D+15 and the Dems put literally zero effort in while the Republicans spent a lot on this one just so they could claim a win :rolleyes: don't worry its ours again in November"

they're ignoring it, lol.

haven't seen a mention of it in dnd (midterms thread is on the second page; nothing to see here!) and yesterday I didn't see anything on DU or dailykos.

it's the kindergarten M.O. again: if I cover my eyes something ceases to exist.

except even by kindergarten kids know it isn't true. Not only are the democrats a waste, but they're also actively regressing.
