6/25 Primaries Discussion (CO, UT, NY)

[Dr. MB]

Very online Israelis followed this election relatively closely. And they are pretty hyped. Even Bibi haters.

Makes sense given the fact that Bowman is a vile antisemite. 

What is your definition of vile antisemitism?

[Dr. MB]

This primary is a good example of what would happen if the Dems became a national party in the squad's image. You'd have West Virginia like rightward swings in heavily Jewish suburbs and Howard County, Iowa swings in normal white college suburbs. In other words, the Dem coalition is completely unsustainable as a squad/Elizabeth Warren party and these idiots in Democratic administrations who hire human clowns like Tyler Cherry need to be fired immediately.

The only answer is a mass party of the working class based on socialist theory and praxis. The American people as they stand are not ready for that.

Correct. Progressive politics is a dead end road for this country. Either we reject them; or we lose.

What does winning mean? The neoliberal status quo is not winning. Minuscule change while maintaining the broader system in place is not winning. Winning the election is only the first step towards actually winning true power.

NYT is now agreeing with DDHQ. Holy cow.

This is where the "Bowman is a f**king idiot" part comes in. Two things can be true - you can recognize Bowman is an idiot, anti-Semite, and terrible campaigner whose loss was avoidable, and you can believe that Latimer's corruption and outright defense of sexual assault is as evil and as bad as Bowman.

Then again when you're Alben Barkley, S019, or OSR and you think calling someone a Nazi is okay because they disagree with the merits of the candidate you support you probably have a different perspective on life.

You're whining so much.  More than I did when Lipinski lost.  And he wasn't a Nazi.

Neither is Bowman!

[Dr. MB]

Not a good night for the MAGA wing outside of Boebert and Tim Kennedy, both of whom only won because of the establishment vote being split. Seeing Burns and Williams fail was especially satisfying.

Don't forget Latimer!
