Candidates

Biden and Beto Boosted GOP Candidates in 2018. That’s Disqualifying.


“[A Democratic Party] county chairwoman posed an uncomfortable question. Mr. O’Rourke had not endorsed Ms. Jones. In fact, he had elevated her Republican opponent, Representative Will Hurd, with frequent praise and, most memorably, a live-streamed bipartisan road trip that helped jump-start their midterm campaigns. Would Mr. O’Rourke support the Democrat?
He would not.”

Biden and Beto Boosted GOP Candidates in 2018. That’s Disqualifying.

In a historically important midterm election, Biden and O’Rourke boosted vulnerable GOP incumbents over the objections of local Democratic parties.

Young Leftist Candidates Are Breathing New Radicalism Into Stale Climate Politics


“Insurgent candidates’ climate plans, then — involving large-scale government investment and economy-wide transformations — aren’t just populist and politically salient in the sense that they’re promising jobs and a higher standard of living. They’re also more firmly in line with the science than the market fixes Bloomberg imagines.”

Young Leftist Candidates Are Breathing New Radicalism Into Stale Climate Politics

Insurgent candidates are running on bold stances, but there’s been less focus when it comes to preventing the potential end of human civilization.

Shaming people who didn’t vote for horrible candidates is victim blaming. May…


Shaming people who didn’t vote for horrible candidates is victim blaming.

Maybe if HILLARY had spent a single day campaigning in Wisconsin, she’d be president.

Maybe if HILLARY and her campaign didn’t “elevate Donald Trump as a serious candidate” because they thought it would be an easy win for them, we’d have a sane president.

Maybe if HILLARY spent more time in working class Pennsylvania instead of posh Philadelphia cocktail fundraisers, she’d be president.

Maybe if the DNC embraced young progressive voters instead of shunning them and rigging the primaries, we wouldn’t have Trump as president.

Stop blaming voters and start blaming the failed leaders!

Her answers are fiercely unapologetic. When MSNBC brings up Democratic Socialism, she brings up authoritarian capitalism.

HEY NEW YORK: GO VOTE!!! It’s primary day, which candidates are chosen matter! And a special plug for my Bronx and Queens friends to vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is a candidate you can be truly excited about. But she needs you to vote today or she doesn’t advance. There’s also that little race between Cuomo and Cynthia Nixon for New York. You know what to do. Do it to it, my friends!

Ghost Candidates Are Not Acceptable | Current Affairs


A candidate who seemingly does not exist, Rodney Stooksbury, got more votes than Jon Osoff. Osoff and the DCCC spent $30 million on the GA 6 district race. Stooksbury spent $0, didn’t campaign, and doesn’t exist. He got more votes than Osoff….

“Nancy Pelosi, who has publicly refused to acknowledge that there are any systemic problems with the way Democrats do things, should have resigned long ago. The party has been hemorrhaging seats in Congress and state legislatures for years, losing power in state after state, with no plan for getting it back. Anyone anywhere near the top of the party who refuses to acknowledge how dire things are needs to be forced out immediately.”

As far as I know, Rodney Stooksbury is an actual living human being. I have even spoken with someone who has spoken with someone who

KING: The next Dem primary must be a robust cast of candidates


This is why we have Trump

“My friend made it out like Warren was initially interested in joining the race, but that decision-makers within the Democratic Party were flagging off any and every potential challenger to Clinton. At the point, Warren was 66 years old. To say “it’s not her time” is wild. She’ll be 70 when the next primary rolls around.”

KING: The next Dem primary must be a robust cast of candidates

I sincerely believe Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump began long before her head-to-head matchup with him.
