Emily C. Singer added,
We didn't just write about her. We covered the race far more extensively than we covered any other. Far more. Not sure why you want to belittle the work of @ryangrim, @aidachavez and their team but the work they did was great and prescient. Other outlets, like TYT, did too.
Emily, we also write 4 stories about Dana Balter, huge underdog in Syracuse who was 20 points behind the DCCC candidate in the polls. Balter crushed her. We extensively covered Jess King and Kara Eastman. Former knocked her DCCC opponent out of the race, latter beat hers...
We covered Marie Newman closely. Yes, she lost narrowly but way closer than people thought. Not all insurgents have won of course but it’s completely false to say this was a stopped clock being right. Something is happening.
We covered them too. By and large, insurgent candidates were beaten by establishment ones. And Jess King didn’t knock her opponent out of the race, redistricting did.
No, she knew she would lose and switched to save face
Insurgents are not going to succeed a lot of the time, but if you can turn a 10% chance into a 20% chance, over a few elections the odds are in your favor.
