Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all.
Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on.
Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9?
Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?
#Titans GM Mike Borgonzi said he’d turned away #Bills GM Brandon Beane on Amani Hooker for a week. Saw him at the Notre Dame-Miami game, said to stay in touch and then the deal came together yesterday.
I swear it’s like nobody understands this lmao
Amani Hooker is a very good safety who’s having a career year rn
And our safeties have been awful
And we’ve desperately needed stable safety play next to Bishop
Amani Hooker better than Jessie Bates???
I saw a bills fan say they underpaid for Hooker.
Hook is a good player but having these Bills fans act like they know Hooker better than us and showing me PFF grades is a twilight zone moment.
@TFG_Football@TicTacTitans I cant believe ya’ll would prefer we just package that for 8 games of Jessie Bates
I think Bates is the better player but we finally built a safety room for the next 2.5 years
Jags traded a 2+5 for Jessie Bates, who has half a season left on his deal
Bills traded a 2-5 for Amani Hooker, who has 2.5 seasons left on his deal
Bates turns 30 this offseason. Hooker turns 29 this offseason
Bills got a younger safety with more control for less capital
