get that OUT of my face posted:about the only race i know where a leftie dem is pulling his weight is Randy Bryce in Ryan's district. i heard of this guy in NJ-3 named Kim but his credentials are a bit of a mixed bag ironstache is the extremely rare case where the good dem hit all the checkboxes of what the dem party wants in a candidate: - white - male - veteran - can credibly vocalize "real america" signifiers so the dem party got behind him and not some data center rear end in a top hat without too much of a fight

in california the bad dem frontrunner gavin newsom is losing ground to even worse dem antonio villagarosa i got an email survey a few days ago and did it because i was curious to see what it said and the final part had a bunch of pitches about how great villajarosa was and asked you whether you thought theu were persuasive one of them was how he stood up to the teachers unions who were making education is los angeles bad and were blocking charters lol

really though i didnt know they had what appears to be an official after-debate focus group for the first debate (you can tell its the first debate because thats the only one before webb and chafee dropped out) i did see at least one or two after-debate focus groups for the republican ones where frank luntz or some other guy was trying his hardest to coach the attendees into saying that trump had gone too far and that rubio or cruz or jeb! was where it was at but none of them played along

has gillibrand had any explanation on pulling a total 180 since 11/9 and turning into a steadfast member of the sanders-warren caucus? or for that matter her shift from centrist dem to the left wing over her career? it would mollify a lot of concerns (and seperate her from the clearly craven and cynical moves of booker) if she was able to convincingly say that 11/9 made her recalibrate everything, like it did with basically every dem voter i think the only time someone with cachet called her out on her big ideological shift was when the bad dem crowd yelled at her for being the most forceful at demanding franken resign which was a very good thing for her to do but also so clear-cut the right thing to do she didnt need to talk about her "evolution" on an issue

the people who make electoral political decisions at the old big unions are often professional administrators with no connection or accountability to the rank and file who will decide to back lovely-but-favored-to-win incumbents for fear of losing access. usually this manifests as backing a hillary over a bernie or this example of the illinois race from a couple days ago but i guess also apparently a republican (wtf?)

Metal Cat posted:Is Ro Khanna just an opportunist? I have read a bit about him after that Intercepted interview, and the issue seems to be that he received some questionable donor money, but he seems to vote/talk in a progressive direction in general. pretty much. he won in 2016 beating a dem incumbent from the left. he had run for the same seat against the same dem incumbent in 2014 and attacked him from the right using ultra republican rhetoric. check out this campaign mailer from 2014
