People on Atlas have no idea what they're talking about part 1293819313

Implying you’d give an [inks] about this race if Pressley were a white man Roll Eyes

Dude... Chill. White men win plenty of offices. It's about time that the less talented of this over-represented group headed towards retirement--either voluntarily or through electoral defeat.

Look, Capuano isn't exactly the most silver-tongued orator and Pressely has a lot more star potential than he does. Its perfectly reasonable to replace an older, less exciting candidate with a new voice.

Remember when Mike Honda lost? He was a wonderful incumbent but lackluster af.

Meanwhile, in LA, African-American politicians in traditionally Black districts are losing to Latinos and Latinos are losing "Latino" districts to Asians. And Dems are looking at sending two native women to congress. Diversity is our strength and a diverse leadership is a more effective and more engaging leadership. That's why Gillum and Abrams are so exciting.

Meanwhile, even though white males are a small minority of Democratic primary voters, we are going to be electing straight white man Gavin Newsom as our next governor. And he has strong support from minority communities throughout the state.

Capuano is easily one of best members of the House.  You’re telling me that of all the Congressmen, he’s the one who deserved a primary challenge?  Really?
I mean, it not like he was entitled to no primary challenge, and he did the best he could. The unions just can't prop him up anymore, since with the new diversity.

Doesn’t mean I have to like seeing him go down like this.

Sorry, I don't think he's all that good at being a House member. Plus, he kinda sucks at messaging which became obvious in the campaign.

When you are an opposition party and there's partisan gridlock, messaging matters a lot.

Pressley's messaging is on point. Meanwhile, in California, we are saddled with a very experienced Capuanoesque State Party Chair with very regrettable messaging capabilities. He is talking about In-N-Out burgers when we could have had a dynamic black female party chair. And I supported him at the time...

Forum Democrats:

When a black candidate unexpectedly defeats a white candidate, try not to sound like this Nazi douchebag:
