Does Jamaal Bowman crack 40%?

[jaichind]

Every third ad on YouTube in my area is a  Latimer or  Bowman ad which is around 3 to 1.  At this stage by 7th grade son has seen so many ads from both he knows more about these two folks than Trump and Biden.

Unless we re-elect the antisemitic moron who doesn’t understand fire alarms over the normal center-left non-racist Democrat, American democracy is OVER. 😭

What a desperate, pathetic campaign.

Bernie never met a dead-ender antisemite he wouldn't endorse to the bitter end and beyond.

[MyLifeIsYours]

Bernie Sanders  happens to be a Jewish man who is not even a traditional lefty on the Israel/Palestine conflict. He is right about the glowing influence of AIPAC in this race and it's concerning a centrist who has been known to be right leaning is prevailing over a progressive. Bowman may not be the brightest blub but I would trust his credentials on most issues over Latimer.

[SInNYC]

I have no dog in this fight, but I'm in the NYC TV market for most of next week. I just arrived earlier this afternoon, and I have been absolutely bombarded with pro-Latimer/Anti-Bowman ads in a very short time.

I live in a neighboring district and we have been bombarded with [TV, radio, online] ads the last month. Most of the ads are by UPC (AIPAC) talking about how Latimer is a true progressive unlike anti-Biden Bowman or a pro-crypto PAC talking about not much of anything but saying how horrible Bowman is in a creepy horror-movie voice. The ads dont even mention the middle east or cryptocash respectively, so they only make me turn against their endorsee, though I dont know how others react.

I'm at the point where I want to vote against anybody that sends me a flyer endorsing that candidate and Latimer.
 

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Yes, isn’t the story of PA-12 that Summer Lee only got 60% when AIPAC chose NOT to seriously contest the race? Lee was also a much better match for her district than Bowman is.

Yea, if Bowman gets blown out by as much as I suspect he will, I wonder if it will prompt the groups to go all in on Don Samuels in Minnesota.

From your lips to God’s ears. Not impressed when Omar swanned into her daughter’s campus to call 19-year-old Jewish students “pro-genocide” and pose with that student who brags about fighting his Zionist classmates to kill.

Be careful what you wish for; as horrible as Omar is, Samuels is far worse

He'd be as good as gone in 2026 though. He's already 75, could just be running to add a single term to his legacy and might stand down regardless.

I hope Bowman wins, Latimer is a conservative AIPAC bigot.

He'll probably lose anyways.

The guy just seems angry and worked up all the time. That may be an asset on the campaign trail, but it’s made him a lousy legislator.

He can’t talk about his accomplishments because he has none. His whole pitch is, “save me from all the Jew money,” which is gross and uninspiring.

[Atlas Force]

I don’t see why not.

Look at how over in VA-05, John McGuire, another primary challenger with all the institutional advantages, is limping to the finish line. It’s still insanely difficult to get rid of an incumbent congressman in a primary.

The only real primary blowouts we saw in recent years have been the Trump impeachers, and even then only two of them lost decisively (Cheney and Rice).

It was an incumbent-vs-incumbent battle, but Newman vs. Casten has some parallels to this race as well.

The GOP weren't able to beat an incumbent who un-retired at the last minute, and it looks like they're going to fail to beat a carpetbagging scandal-ridden congresswoman who nearly lost a Likely R seat two years ago.

Meanwhile, Democrats couldn't beat the son of an indicted and disgraced senator, and a non-black guy who sneaked his way into a heavy black VRA district may survive because his top opponent botched the signature collecting process.

Candidates with some of the most obvious profiles of getting primaried out just aren't this cycle.

Outside of Bowman and Good, there's only one more incumbent seen as likely to lose a primary after this, Cori Bush, and with our luck that's the only one we're going to get.

Which race is this?

Bowmaans district is way more white than the South Bronx but this seems about as white as Trump's rally lol.

Bernie never met a dead-ender antisemite he wouldn't endorse to the bitter end and beyond.

Bernie has a very legitimate struggle in that the combination of committed leftist and person who has political talent is super rare. Because successful and capable people are more likely to work for the system because the system works for them. That's just human nature.

Latimer is not a good candidate. I wouldn't support him in a vacuum. Of course Bowman is an idiot. Just like my Rep Cori Bush.

Bernie and Sandy are two rare leftists who are both committed, smart, and capable of nuance/compromise. Very hard to find people like that sadly. The Left in general is full of kooks and weirdos because those people tend to crowd around anything non-mainstream. There's lots of leftists who are great except for one really specific thing they are ridiculous about but sadly that doesn't cut it.

Bernie and Sandy?

And yea your point is sadly valid. The kind of person who is okay hitting their head against the wall (which is what being a leftist in politics is like) for years is usually not the most… capable.

I worked in government for four months and just that time made me deeply cynical and wanted to pull my hair out…

It's kind of bizarre to say this when he'll need the vote of "their people" in the general election. This would make more sense if this was already the general election and he was talking about republican voters who'd never vote for him anyway.

Honestly this whole thing is a good argument against racial gerrymandering clause of the voting rights act. Encouraging tribal voting leads to divisiveness and corruption.

It's getting worse and worse - he's pretty openly campaigning against Westchester's Jewish community now. I wouldn't be surprised if he winds up getting expelled from Congress during his six months as a lame duck.
