      I'm not talking about a boycott, just not spending $4M on an utterly safe seat in a circular bonfire. At least keep some of the money you raise if you're going to go down this route! Or if you burn the money, use it on ads that talk about you or your policy, not just solicit more

      Again, we can have a highly theoretical debate on what it means to run as a high-profile woman in a corrupt and unfair world, and the tradeoffs that requires. It's Twitter, after all! Or we could look at the actual ads that campaign run and the money spent vs. money raised

      You recall though that AOC wrote a piece soon after the election dinging all the losing Dems who had failed to (a) have a ground game and (b) buy plenty of ads on FB. She knows where the centre of gravity is.

      I particularly remember her dinging a guy for losing who in fact won.

      Sure, but the broader point remains: she is clear about where/how modern elections are won.

      It's worth reading the rebuttals to that theory of victory by Conor Lamb and Elissa Slotkin, who are winning those modern elections in contested seats.

      This one from Politico for Slotkin? https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/11/13/elissa-slotkin-braces-for-a-democratic-civil-war-436301 … grateful for pointer to the Lamb one

      Yes, that one. IIRC Lamb was the guy she incorrectly called out by name for losing.

      Slotkin’s smart. Though I wonder how cohesive the GOP will look in two years if it all goes impeachy in a week or so.

      I wager you a large hard salami of your choice that they will win decisively in 2022

      Sure. "Win" counts the 6 percent advantage they have in the House due to gerrymandering and the Senate which they can win with 20%? They may well "win" both, and look what happens when they don't win even with the massive electoral college advantage they had.

          Are there any conditions at all under which the Republicans can win an election and it's not unfair or a coup in your eyes, so I can get Charles to buy me a salami?

          Yes, of course. Elections have widely-recognized standards, not my made-up rules. I agree they would win *some* even under those standards, but Senate is structurally minority;most of the rest of the country is gerrymandered and voters disenfranchised; plus electoral college.
