WI-SEN 2022 Megathread: Who stole my cheese?

[wesmoorenerd]

Dems need to do everything they can to stop Mandela Barnes from winning the primary.

What is the evidence that Lasry would be better than Barnes?

There is none. Barnes may not be a knockout candidate, but Lasry is infinitely worse.

One thing I don't understand: Why do people keep insisting Mandela Barnes is a bad candidate for being progressive? Yes, he probably won't win, but that's more due to the national environment and Johnson's incumbency/perceived authenticity than anything else. Also, Baldwin's just as progressive and won by double digits in 2018.

I don't think he's an amazing candidate, but he's no worse than Laxalt or Budd, who blue avatars seem to think are the next coming of Christ.

Great news, considering Barnes is a better candidate and he had a better shot at winning the primary in the first place.

Barnes +3 makes sense if the end result is something like Johnson +6 (which is about what I expect.)

No one cares about ssm. If he loses it will be because of ss statements and election denialism

Just like nobody cared about Dobbs, right? SSM might be even more popular.
