    It's weird how the robust discourse about the Dems needing to win the working class ignores what the party did to India Waltonhttps://twitter.com/RainaLips/status/1458206631544692743 …

    What happened in Buffalo? Democrats joined forces with Republicans to crush a socialist upstart—possibly keeping the Erie County sheriff’s office in reactionary hands for years to come. | The New Republic https://newrepublic.com/article/164319/bryon-brown-india-walton-paladino …

        Because if you aren't local you didn't see how screwed up the situation was. Can't count the number of houses I saw have both "Write down Byron Brown" and Blue Lives Matter flags. Or the number of signs in affluent suburbs that don't even vote for mayor of Buffalo

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        One of the few union endorsements she got was Buffalo Federation of Teachers, but she supported school choice during the campaign. Topped that off by having campaign material printed in a non-union shop. Can't really get away with that in Buffalo.

        What part of the campaign or outcome makes it less than obvious that the working class didn't want India in the first place?
