Congressional Special Election (last call! unstickied after NY-27 final results)

Cenk Uygur will massively outraise Christy Smith, there are many people on this site that think you have to be a boring centrist who weaponizes identity politics to win, that is simply not true!!!
Cenk will win.

I know this post is old, but I'm marveling at the idea that Erdogan shill Cenk Uygur, who named his company after a murderous Turkish junta, is somehow not one of the most glaring examples of identity politics in America. Man is literally draped in Turkish nationalism. What is that if not identity politics?

But you see, he is a white guy so it's by definition impossible for him to engage in identity politics.

Alright, I'm very very very far from a fan of Cenk Uygur, but the idea that he's white is, ironically, one of the most "ignorant white Greek Boomer" things I've ever heard.

Thank God, an election to distract me from the Great Iowan Clusterf**k.

Uh, yeah, I don't think Mfume's losing this one.

Mfume is literally a sexual predator...

Can you source that? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I've literally just heard nothing about any such story.

And it's over. AP calls for Mfume.

An employee threatened to sue him for sexual harrassment after he left the NAACP. Nothing came of it so far as I can see,  but we do live in a guilty until proven innocent society.

So it was a whispering that never amounted to anything. I don't like disbelieving victims and would-be victims, but that sounds more like spite or some kind of grudge.

That's not a bad result, considering the absurd redness of WI-07.
