We’re seeing leadership announce support for Abdul now he’s won, which is undoubtedly a positive, but you can’t deny that for weeks they were throwing all their support for Stevens and concern trolling via CNN and MSNBC that Abdul was less “electable” than Stevens.

Buddy…
No one in any leadership position should be endorsing anyone in the primary.
If they are, it’s probably lame duck assholes like Schumer and Jefferies. People with zero political power, and are the last vestiges of the old guard until the next congress due to their elections happening just a week or two before the DNC pivoted away from neoliberalism.
The second that happened Jefferies and Schumer lost the ability to withhold funds from any person/state who didn’t do what they said…
That’s the entire reason we keep winning special elections, progressives keep winning primaries, and the party stopped doing their best Smaug impression so they can force a neoliberal thru the presidential primary in 2028. Because they’re not going to try and do that.
They’re trying to get the House/Senate back.
So…
Because of all that, yes, anyone in a leadership position endorsing during a primary is going to be saying something stupid, that’s because the smart and ethical thing to do is not influence primaries, because that destroys the entire point of having a primary.
If you took a second and looked around, you’d see the main problems are already fucking fixed and “the party” is finally on our side again.
