      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.

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

          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.

        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?

                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?

                  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.

                    Getting rid of a specific holiday is wildly different than getting rid of all holidays. I have it on good authority that you can cook turkey and stuffing on any day you’d like.

                    However, I’m more confused at your overall point now. If Thanksgiving-gate is such a huge deal, why do you think she will win?

                    Maybe we should take a step and reset? What precisely are you saying?
