AOC [doesn’t] posts worst result in NY-14 in 25 years

[Gustaf]

This result still seems like poor evidence for the claim that running someone like the squad is a great vote-getter for Democrats because they're so much more popular with the base than centrists.

Pending final results, it appears nationally that Biden won by about 4.5%.

Meanwhile, Congressional Dems won the house vote by about 3.1%

Not sure of the exact decimal points by which AOC won her district as compared to the margin that Biden carried it, but it seems to be essentially exactly the same as that nationwide house underperformance.

Any thoughts, MacArthur?

Why does this matter? Is AOC under threat of losing to a Republican?

Well, Google said that NY-14 numbers were 99% in when I made this thread, so I don't know why they were lying about that.

Regardless, just because she ended up not doing abysmally in her own district doesn't mean the rest of the country should take her advice about how to win elections.  It just takes away what would have been an amazing example of the extent to which her arrogance is laughably unwarranted.  There's still dozens of other examples.

Do you really tho? Besides Ilhan Omar and Kara Eastman? Cuz last I checked the rest of the swing district Dems who support M4A, e.g. Jared Golden, Josh Harder, Matt Cartwright, not only won but also outperformed Biden?
