    Don’t worry, this time losing to the right-wing will totally move the Dems left. And if it doesn’t, well, that’s just a price minorities and other marginalized groups will have to pay for our purity 😊

      Controversial opinion: it’s a political party’s own responsibility to attract voters. If a party loses an election, it’s not because of some grand conspiracy theory of people being manipulated into not voting for you. It’s because your politics fucking sucks.

        This all mosly reduces down to the perception that if Harris had won, Cuomo would have been endorsed by the president and Zohran would never have been a blip in the media.

        For some, Zohran winning a primary and maintaining popular support is the worst thing because not only is it leftward policy movement, some online tankies might be feeling validation.
