CPRM, Pt 3: LA 11/6

[Sestak]

F**K, Tlaib is winning?

[Sestak]

If Tlaib wins, then this night will be a victory for progressives Linda Sarsour.

[Sestak]

WOAH. CMR only beating the Democrat by 0.4 in WA-05...

FOR GOD'S SAKE

STOP WITH THE PRIMARY TURNOUT OBSESSION

ESPECIALLY IN SEATS WITH INCUMBENTS

[Sestak]

wait I forgot WA was top two. Whoops.

[Sestak]

Also, I am legitimately surprised at the number of Democrats celebrating pretty much a Sarsour clone getting elected to Congress.

Yes, and?

You legitimately think Linda Sarsour is a good future for the Democratic party?

1 Rep out of the likely 200+ Dems in 2018 wont make a difference. The election of Lamb didnt force the Dems to the center, nor did the election of AOC force them left.

No, but this has an impact. My father, for example, would be less likely to vote Democratic after this.

Because a muslim woman won the seat, and because she as pro-Palestinian views? Ill be honest, thats a bit weird that your dad, or any other voter for that matter, would not vote for a D rep or senator because that one from MI is against Israel, sort of.

Also, when you mentioned her, I had to actually look her up, and Im very active in politics and this forum.

My family are atheists. He doesn't like pro-religion candidates and would prefer the Democrats remain secular.

Come on Welder!

Wait, why are you cheering for Welder, arent you constitution?

My constitution party avatar is half a joke. I have it because I consider myself more pro-Constitution than most conservatives. I'm actually on the left lol.

[Sestak]

Zaybay, I’d modify your categorization. Having “left”, “center”, and “right” as subcategories are confusing. Maybe “soft”, “standard”, and “Hard”? Then we’d have

Hard DS
Standard DS
Soft DS
Hard Progressive
Standard Progressive
Soft Progressive
Hard Liberal
Standard Liberal
Soft Liberal
Centrist
Center-Conservative
Conservative

(The last three form what you have as the conservative spectrum)

[Sestak]

Sonneborn’s pulling 8%? wut?

[Sestak]

Swanson being in third (by a lot too) is absolutely glorious.

And GO VUKMIR!

[Sestak]

Does Murphy still have a chance?

[Sestak]

I feel like Omar is the only real downside of the night. Everything else is great.

[Sestak]

Why the negativity on Omar?

Her antisemitic Twitter rants and apparent pro-FGM attitudes.

False, she voted for the anti-FGM bill that passed the Minnesota House back in May 2017.

Yeah the FGM thing was thoroughly debunked.

[Sestak]

DID EVERYONE FORGET WHAT "CPRM" STOOD FOR OR WHAT BOARD THIS IS?

[Sestak]

Yeah, ok, apologies. I think I just got frustrated when I realized I had been looking at the wrong thread (the Nixon one) for like an hour.
