This is not a surge or indicative of a wave. Let me know when DSA candidates start winning in purple districts. Until then, allow me to remind you that Francesca Hong hates holidays including Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the 4th of July. That’s just what I could find in her tweets, by the way.
She also speaks with that air-y cringe fucking vtuber voice but that’s besides the point.
She spent about four times as much as he did in that campaign. A big chunk of that massive funding was from AIPAC. So the result is much more impressive than the vote counts might imply in isolation.
If this were in a purple district, I may be inclined to agree with you.
So far the DSA has only shown that they know how to break down Democrats. I challenge you, find me a clip of a DSA member actually being critical of another DSA member.
I think El-Sayed is a good candidate in a vacuum (I learned he isn’t DSA so that’s a positive, at least until they start seriously courting him) - meanwhile every single left leaning DSA news source was trying to convince me that it was going to be an omega-giga landslide victory.
It wasn’t, you were all wrong. Francesca Hong is a fucking weirdo and so is anyone who supports her (the DSA).
What are you even trying to say here? You just reiterated my point. People thought it was going to be a blowout because the polling from multiple sources indicated it was going to be a blowout (at least relative to any highly contested race).
And I couldn’t care less what sort of weird account notes you’re not only taking about your Lemmy experiences but desperately want to tell me about. It’s certainly doing yourself any favors on the “melting down” accusation.
That was true, and known, while the DSA talking heads were all claiming that it would be a landslide victory.
It was not. Let me know when they start winning purple districts. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, because they won’t be winning them.
Also holy fuck - a woman running for governor has said she wants to cancel Thanksgiving. I’m not engaging with brain damaged blue MAGA beyond shit slinging.

Talk’s cheap, but he got the result, and now you’re quibbling about the size of the margin. Even if he won by only one vote, he still won. That’s how it works.
I’m detailing the size of the margin because the DSA is consistently fucking wrong. Not only that, they’re completely manipulative - I want you to point to a single DSA member that has provided an actionable plan towards the things they want to see in the country. Not wishes, not ideals - policy. Because, as far as I can see, the most prominent DSA member is suggesting she wants to take ban fucking Halloween.
Holy fuck, do you know nothing about the battles fought strictly for the right to have holidays? Why am I having to deliberate over the future of the country to people who don’t even know it’s history?
No, I’m talking about Francesca Hong - the woman that is likely going to cause a MAGA win in the Wisconsin governor race.
He beat her by like, a percent.

I don’t know if MAGA asshats are melting down, but you certainly are.

Polls had him up by double digits. None of your imagined villains were wrong, unless we’ve got a stealth pollster here.
But yeah, you’re certainly having a day. Enjoy your cope, weirdo.
Every single poll I see has him above Stevens by over 10%. Congrats on your tag.

She out spent him astronomically.

As the old song goes: Which side are you on?

I’m really very curious as to what metrics you have for what a good democratic candidate is, except for “won the democratic primary”.
How about we start with not hating Thanksgiving? Or do you think that taking away holidays is a step forward for the country?
Edit: I want you to point to a single clip of a DSA member being critical of another DSA member.
I couldn’t give two shits about someone’s feelings on Thanksgiving. Why do you?
When they’re pushing to ban it, absolutely - or do you know simply nothing about her?
What does “banning” it look like? Are you really so privileged that this is your concern??
And to be clear, we’re talking about the woman that lost, right?
