What does this victory mean?

KDL finished second in the jungle primary, meaning he and Feinstein are both running for the general election in November and nobody else. The CA Democratic party itself endorsing him over Feinstein means he'll have more institutional support, despite her being first place in the primary.

Only 6,665,000 voters participated in the jungle primary out of a total registered voter population of 18.2 million, and succdems are claiming Dianne Feinstein getting only 3 million votes is some kind of mandate for the general election.

where are all these centrists getting the idea that someone like de Leon would endanger the Mueller investigation in the first place? Like, I don't think he would vote against something to protect the investigation... it's just that he also probably wouldn't vote against M4A either

Committee appointments are by seniority, right? Maybe they think Feinstein will be replaced with a Republican.

imagine wanting an 85 year old to resign/die in office before letting a younger person take over instead of just voting for the young guy who has an actual platform

I can easily imagine being a self-absorbed piece of poo poo who thinks public officials should serve until the day they die.

The real question is why Dianne Feinstein didn't retire for the last round of senatorial elections, and tried keeping her rictus grip on that seat. If she serves the full new term she'll be in her 90s for christ's sake. Give it up.

another factor is that on most issues where the left has had proven success in moving the Overton window to the left post-2016 (m4a, ICE, etc.), we have the advantage of being able to make easily understood, maximalist demands. russiagate, on the other hand, is an issue where the prevailing liberal narrative (“Soviet Russia engaged in an act of war to install their puppet as US President”) is a lot simpler than anything Klion or anyone else on the concerned-about-Russiagate left can come up with as a response

It isn't just a matter of being simpler, being a leftist who is concerned about Russiagate is politically meaningless. There's nothing to propose that isn't happening already.

You use the term the occupation of Palestine, what did you mean by that?

AOC: Oh– I think, what I meant is that the settlements that are increasing in some of these areas and places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulty in access to housing and homes.

Do you think you can expand on that?

AOC: Yeah I think — I am not the expert on geo-politics on this issue. You now, for me, I’m a firm believer in finding a two-state solution in this issue [Hoover nods approvingly]. And I’m happy to sit down with leaders on both of these… for me, I just look at things through a human rights lens, and I may not use the right words– I know this is a very intense issue.

These people don't even have a plan to stop "the Russian takeover". No one is proposing any reforms to state election law (like getting rid of voting computers and machines) or possible ways to transform the Republic to be more representative. Being very concerned on Twitter won't change anything.


https://twitter.com/MollyMcKew/status/1019027835556687873

The plan is to literally go to war with Russia.

quote:

What Clausewitz called the center of gravity is no longer the physical environment of the opponent’s capital city, but it could be the elements of the nation’s institutions. And we won’t be able to count our daily dead or counter the enemy’s advances by “fielding” new battlefield equipment. But in the information age, the intelligence and leadership of our fighters—those in uniform and those in civilian clothes—becomes paramount. The old formula of resistance to an enemy is accomplished by either affecting his will to fight or his means of fighting. So far, we have neither deterred Russian behavior nor its means of attack. Today, we may even have given them additional license to believe they can continue.

This is the closest the article ever comes to formulating a real response, instead of shrieking about the US government doing nothing in the face of a Pearl Harbor-level act of war. What does she mean by "affecting his will to fight or his means of fighting?" Are we going to cut Russia off from the internet?
