MA-08: Brianna Wu running against Lynch in 2018 Democratic primary

[smoltchanov]

Ok, where do I go to donate money to Lynch? If there's anything I dislike more than the alt-right, it's social justice warriors.

For me - they are mirror images of each other. So - i equally dislike BOTH...

No. People who are unable able to listen , always think they are (and - only they) - right, and impose their point of view on other by ANY means (including slander) are as bad as neo-Nazis. I am color-blind, so i am absolutely for ALL possible rights for minorities, and as absolutely - against ANY privileges for them

Most SJW don't do that, but please keep trying to stereotype people.  That always goes so very well.

I don't try to strreotype, but express my personal experience. BTW - there is very old proverb about where "good intentions" usually lead....

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

ayy lmao

Lynch is an FF and only has a reputation as a "moderate" because he has a few token culturally conservative attitudes (that don't even really show up in his voting record any more)--he voted against Obamacare from the left, for God's sake--so of course I'm enthusiastically supporting him.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Sociologically it's a pretty mixed district with a lot of different elements the sum total of which doesn't really add up to anything; as is the norm with absurdly drawn MA districts. It mostly exists so that the principle Boston district (once the 8th now the 7th) can be as multiethnic as possible. Anyway the last time Lynch had a primary challenger (2010) he won 2:1 and when he ran in the Senate primary a few years later racked up big margins in most of the district.

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

This primary feels like a non-event in the end. Wu will make an enormous amount of noise and then lose roughly 73-27 or something.

The loud idiots on the internet who are cherrypicked by anti"SJW's" to damage the set of beliefs are not most people who believe "SJW stuff".

Well, may be i met too many "loud idiots" you mentioned, who influenced my position on this subject....

[Vosem]

I doubt Wu will run a particularly serious campaign (then again, I suppose I doubted that about Trump at the beginning), but I'd definitely vote for her if I lived in the district. If this is going to be a safe Democratic seat anyway, might as well have someone who brings some unique experiences rather than a boring party hack.

IMO that's a really conservative estimate for Lynch's final number

[Heisenberg]

I don't really like Lynch, but I'll happily root for him in his primary.

My general rule - "be wary of activists!". In almost all districts, but the most liberal and conservative)))))

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Holy sh**t why is this woman triggering all of you guys so damn much. 

Internet.

[Intell]

Holy sh**t why is this woman triggering all of you guys so damn much. 

Because she's an idiot.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Funny, I get far more triggered by Lynch's district than her. In fact I'd say he represents one of the worst places in the country that voted for Hillary by far.

I have absolutely no idea what your reasoning is here. None whatsoever.

[IceAgeComing]

Wu is objectionable for many reasons: a lot of her rhetoric is very similar to your typical Republican playbook: "public school reform" pushing for charter institutions (plus a really dodgy perspective on the idea of education that I really don't like: seeing education as an "investment" made in children that needs to be recouped rather than an essential human right); talking about the need for start-up companies and how entrepreneurs are leaving the state is often talk to justify corporate tax cuts and deregulation, all bad for working class people) which suggests to me that she'd not be a good voice in the house for the area.  I'd argue that her social positions aren't the reason to criticise her - certainly it really wasn't her fault that she ended up getting dragged into the mire that she ended up in in terms of continual abuse from the awful bit of the internet, which is something that should never happen to anyone: although she's certainly lacking in diplomacy, even for people who broadly agree with her on most things.

Lynch is better by far, although not perfect.  But who is, really!.

Where are you getting this info about her positions?

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

So ice age are you saying Lynch is more East Ukrainian and Wu more West Ukrainian?

[Figueira]

It's also important to note that while Lynch has never faced a primary challenge in this district, he crushed several opponents in the previous district which, while not a perfect match, contained a lot of the same areas.

I am not racist. And almost surely - more knowledgeable then you are. But i don't give a damn (and never will) about "political correctness". Live himself with it, and let ME live without it. As i always like to say in such cases "whites have rights too". You began to forget about that. That's why you lost this time, not because of Putin (whon i don't like either) or some other reasons. Normal white men and women doomed you, "politically correct elitists",  this time...... And some Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other joined them (after all, Trump, with all his baggage, got even slightly better percentages among minorities, then Romney)
