    This is part of the reason I bicker with Liberals about appealing to electoralism all the damn time. Great, we technically got a “D” win, but the party installed a senator that doesn’t vote with the party and pulls the senate more “center” as they try to scoop up disaffected conservatives. So, they effectively installed their own opposition. Well done.

    Very much the smartest people in the room.

    Note: venting, and I’m not talking about individuals just the collective “wisdom” of belt-way liberals.

    It’s gonna be great watching centrist Democrats find an excuse to blame progressives when the person who represents centrists perfectly hands the Senate to Mitch McConnell.
