all the bickering we’ll have about how she’s not left enough or she’s the same as the couch fucker.
Progressives are the most reliable voting block for the Dem party, and have been for decades…
What wins and loses elections is the 1/3 of the country that doesn’t traditionally vote.
But we’re not going to see the same pressure on AOC to move left that weve seen on the Dem candidate back to 2012, because this will be the first time since 08 the candidate won’t be to the right of the voting base. Hell, the last Dem candidates have been to the right of the general populace even.
Obviously some people will want more, but they’ll be statistically insignificant.
<sigh> I wish we had ranked choice voting…
We’ll have a fair primary this time, one that will let every state vote. And if people bomb at first they’ll drop. It’s not the same as simultaneous RCV nationwide for a primary, and I hope someday we’ll get that.
But honestly, most problems with the party were solved last year in the chair election. Billionaire owned media just isn’t gonna talk about.
