Oh for FUCKS SAKE. Even after defeating a objectively bad progressive, this moderate dumbass cannot help but keep on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by ignoring the people who will vote him in.

    Even after defeating a objectively bad progressive

    :-/

    I love “objectively bad” on a subjective scale.

    But I love “these Far-Leftist candidates who advocate for everything I agree with are totally unelectable, unlike the corporate empty-suite dweebs I despise” even more.

    Why do you think Crowley (and the rest of his corporate media allies) campaigned on frivolous bullshit and made the election about Hong being Too Woke? Where do you think he got all his money to run attack ads?

    Fucking morons.

      I mean that;s fine, I’ll just say she was dog shit at politics then and a empirically bad candidate that had no political sense that she couldn’t win run a campaign on great ideas that others made work. I mean even in Florida, FLORIDA for fucks sake, her fellow DSA candidate won her primary and other progressives were running won.

      Hong was just bad at everything, couldn’t or wouldn’t address her controversial post history. She was bad at her debates. She was so timid that she couldn’t stand up for what she believed in. She was so bad that Sanders didn’t endorse her.

      And even with all of that, she still barely lost. People want the policies but not with someone that came off as incompetent as her and not every progressive candidate is a good one, she was just particularly dog ass shit.

        Sure. She should have backed genocide in Gaza and data centers squatting on your front lawn. Then she’d have won against the guy who got back in the race because a bird told him to do it in a dream.

        People want the policies

        Not the people profiting off the status quo

          Oh for fucks sake. You are such a unserious person with your bullshit strawman, perpetual victimhood.

          Again, other progressives like El-Sayed, Angie Nixon, Miranda Lopez, N’Kiyla Jasmine Thomas have all ran with progressive politics, being against APIAC, being against the war in Gaza, being against the tech bros and they WON their elections just fine against their moderate opponents. You just can’t admit that she was just too damn flawed and weak willed to be seen as serious. and lost because of that.

          Me and you, we will never see eye to eye on things as you cannot see past your perceived victimhood just as bad as any MAGA extremist and can’t have any introspection, it’s always the fault of someone else.

          Thank god non-internet progressives actually have sense in their heads to learn.

            This seems like the go-to any time you get into any kind of policy dispute.

            “Everyone I disagree with is MAGA”

            Thank god non-internet progressives actually have sense

            I gotta wonder if you know any. They must have a lot of patience to listen to a guy like you heckling them constantly.
