Special Election megathread (6/11: OH-6, 6/25: CO-4)

I knew the "Zionists" would be blamed. They control everything after all, as they have for generations!

DMFI dumped a couple mil into this race — basically equivalent to all other PAC spending combined. I'm sorry if the facts bother you or something

Turner outspent Brown, but blame the jews.  You guys always love to do that.

Writing something up after I do some gaming. Suffice to say it's clear that certain factions of the Democratic establishment didn't get Biden/Schumer's memo and still believe we're Public Enemy #1B.

Yes, it's totally not like Turner in particular had said and done things to hurt the party electorally in general elections in the past and needlessly burned bridges with the establishment in ways other progressive candidates haven't or anything...

Turner brought this on herself. If she hadn't made the sh** sandwich comment last year this race would have been called for her five minutes after polls closed.

Pundit brain, the district not voting for Bernie doesn't mean they don't like him. Bernie flying in is not why Turner lost this race.

This.  Burning bridges will really screw you up.  If she had just sat back in the generals as you said she'd probably be congresswoman elect.  Cori Bush didn't have this much trouble, several others hadn't.  This was uniquely on her.
