@CrotserJeremiah@mattyglesias oh no mark cuban is now persona non grata. Its like you guys actively want to lose. You always break out the pepper spray whenever somebody wants to support, much less vote for a democrat.
@steven_g_nelson@mattyglesias If they would get off their lazy ass and vote there would be fewer republicans. Instead they whine and complain that the candidates aren't as sanctimonious as they are and republicans win and make the country worse.
@2wowee2zowee@mattyglesias You know this makes you look very stupid, right? AIPAC exists to support Israel, not abortion. And yet you somehow think you are very smart for not understanding this. If you value a cause you need a broad base of support for it. You can't limit yourself to omnicause supporters.
@WivesGuy@StatisticUrban@arnolds_ja42039@hasanthehun Voters thought Kamala was too left wing. You keep your head in the sand about this so you don't have to acknowledge reality. And you're gambling with elections many people need democrats to win, because otherwise things will just get worse.
@RJCass1@joshtpm I'm not a republican, which again makes you the clueless ignorant wonder you speak of. The difference between us is i prefer to deal with reality while you pretend Rogers is completely unelectable so why not push for the furthest left nutbag you can get.
@RJCass1@joshtpm Rogers almost won 2 years ago. If you don't understand that you're just an ignorant crank. And El Sayed is far more extreme than Slotkin.
@yeselson@mattyglesias@jameskann@mehdirhasan Jesus. It "might" be challenging yes. Understatement much? In all likelihood they're throwing away a prime and winnable senate seat.
@Eudymonia@jameskann@mattyglesias@mehdirhasan@yeselson I can do the logic for you. The primary electorate and the general electorate are not the same. Just because a bunch of left wingers vote for a left winger doesn't mean the state will in november.
@brianbeutler@mattyglesias moderates and swing voters exist and we need them to win elections and you can't just run every far left fever dream you want and scream "vote blue no matter who!" at every democrat who thinks its a bad idea and would actually like to win elections.
@ShipChicago@mrbraindead12@umichvoter And voters thought Kamala was too left wing. You can blame moderates all you want but left wing extremism costs democrats lots of support and loses them races. In that respect, you're like an arsonist complaining about all buildings on fire.
@ShipChicago@mrbraindead12@umichvoter Yeah, policy proposals like defund the police. Abdul is so dumb he defended defunding the police just a couple weeks ago. People don't like extremism.
And newsflash. While many people prefer individual democratic policy proposals many of them will still vote republican.
@ShipChicago@mrbraindead12@umichvoter You don't understand this but many voters will not vote for leftists. "Electable" means able to win an election, a quality many on the left disregard because they'd rather vote for a candidate that fulfills all of their fantasies rather an a candidate that can beat republicans.
@umichvoter@VickiMStein Well this is simply a lie. One senator is extremely important. It can mean the republicans don't get a majority or can make or pad a democratic majority. Every democratic member makes it more difficult for republicans to screw up the country.
@umichvoter@VickiMStein That might make sense except the grassroots is spineless go along get along types afraid of getting criticized by the left which means they do nothing as the party gets dominated by the left and dragged too far left.
@umichvoter What you're done with is winning elections. And you're lashing out at anyone who disagrees with your preferred candidate and you're boosting dipshits who falsely call her racist.
@ruwaromman Prove she's racist. You casually and falsely throw around accusations of racism because you don't have an argument. You don't understand this but we need to win and the majority of this country won't support the far left. You're almost certainly throwing away a senate seat.
