@LordMudkip73@KareemRifai It’s not fair to compare one very left wing district to national elections. I’m sure a lot of people are AOC‘s district didn’t vote for Harris because of Gaza. But they are a tiny minority compared to the country at large
@BoringIsTheEdge@KareemRifai Talarico overperformed. But El sayed underperformed the environment by 6 points. In a 2024 environment he would have lost by more than harris
@MelonsMoon@KareemRifai They’re both pretty moderate but I get your point. It’s the perception that matters. Harris was fairly moderate as well but that’s didn’t save her from the perception that she was far left.
@Agapiy_@KareemRifai Yeah she has been a lot more reasonable recently. But the socialist perception is already baked in. Everybody knows AOCs ideology.
@EllForeboding@KareemRifai She was your one example of a leftist over-performing, And she didn’t…Both top of ticket candidates in Florida underperformed the national environment.
@uniquentcrazy@KareemRifai The public viewed her as more radical than Trump. I imagine a lot of that had to do with her being a black woman, but they did view her as far left.
