Bullet barely dodged but glad it was dodged with a candidate that actually has a strong moral character. However you know that she's far from the only one who would and do sell out Democrats and Progressives for a buck.

    But without the DNC backing them, this will keep happening.

    We can't do anything until the neoliberals are up for midterms, but we don't have to do anything special

    Every primary should be competitive, I don't care if it's AOC or Fettermen.

    As long as every primary is competitive and non biased, progressives will keep winning.

    It's all down hill from here, but in a good way. Just keep up with momentum and turning voting into something we view as a constant battle. We'll never "win" enough that we can stop caring. Every primary and every general need to be treated as important, even if your ballot is boring.

    It's been a loooong time since there was real primary competition for the local congress seat. Shit was bought and sold long ago, enforced by a "power broker" (read: mob boss) who rules regional politics with an iron fist. And the general is just a long string of ~70/30 splits. There was no challenger for the senate seat, either.

    Progressives have been making a tiny bit of headway at the local level, at the cost of endless lawsuits and harassment for daring to go against the machine. But the vast majority of committee positions etc are patron/nepo placements even though they're "elected." Shit is thoroughly corrupt.

    Yes, I still voted.
