I'm fascinated by the self-sabotage dynamic in progressive fundraising. To the extent it moves Democratic elite opinion to the left, it perpetuates a status quo where we can't achieve any policy goal. That failure in turn makes for every more compelling stories to fundraise with
A Congress where there's 40 people in The Squad instead of just 4 is probably ideal for both progressive and right-wing fundraising, which benefit immensely from polarization and paralysis.
The silicon-valley-ization of politics continues unabated, I see.
their strategy from the start has been pretty openly to shift median policy preferences left by contesting incumbents? isn’t that the story with the squad in 2018
That was very much not the story going in to the 2018 elections; it was the story afterwards.
"in 2020 they switched up to trying to beat other Democrats in primaries" This has been Justice Dems' core strategy from their inception. How do you think AOC got elected?
That wasn't the core strategy in the 2018 election. Look at who they backed then.
I'd like to see the Justice Dems field against hard to beat GOP candidates. Do the hard work. Use the race to bring choice to the people. Stop running against solid Democrats in the primaries potentially costing the seat in the general. This is no time for games or purity tests.
That's what they (and a bunch of us others) tried in 2018, bringing good candidates to the ballot in some unlikely red districts. It didn't work at all.
