      Marcus H. Johnson Retweeted Jeet Heer

      This is beyond ridiculous. Most voters have no idea who Feinstein even is. Let alone know that she hugged Lindsey Graham. The real answer is way simpler: Dems won a bunch of R leaning districts in 2018 and in a high turnout 2020 environment they lost some of them back.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1336890946684821505 …

      If the Democrats were a serious political party aiming at power (instead of a job program for insiders), they would think about how Feinstein's hug of Lindsey Graham hurt them with down ballot voters. pic.twitter.com/0sIaIIk884

      Do you honestly think the Harrison campaign thought this image was no big deal and didn't mind that a leading Democrat was affirming the idea that Graham was someone Democrats could work with?

          I would bet a large amount of money that if we conducted a poll of South Carolina voters, a majority could not tell you: 1. Who Feinstein is 2. Why she hugged Graham 3. When the hug took place It couldn’t have impacted the race if voters didn’t know these things

          Beyond this photograph, consider the fact that the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett was a big deal, that Feinstein's inept handlings of the hearings were so bad that Barrett's approval rose markedly. Consider how that impacted Senate races.pic.twitter.com/uH5mYm2miI

          I don’t know how you can make that claim when literally every single Democratic Senator voted against confirming Barrett. If most voters 1. Don’t know who Feinstein is 2. Didn’t see the hug 3. Don’t care about the hug Idk how it could have swung Senate races, let alone by 5-10%.

          Those who voted for Lindsey Graham were never gonna vote for Harrison, for obvious reasons that we’re all aware of, regardless of this picture.

          Feinstein shouldn't have hugged Graham or made those comments about Barrett's confirmation hearings.... BUT Harrison lost his election 39% to 59% despite having tons of money... if you think Feinstein changed the result by even one percent, get offline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_South_Carolina_Senate_election …

          Harrison lost by 259,000 votes. Do you think this photo flipped 259,000 votes. C'mon.

          Dumb question, Jeet: how can on of America's two major political parties NOT be "a serious party aiming at power"? Don't misinterpret Democrats' respect for laws and norms as being unserious. They simply aren't willing to acquire political power at ANY cost - like Republicans.
