‘They call us extreme, they call us radical,’ the progressive Senate candidate said. ‘But I think people see through that’

It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

In conservative Florida, Alex Vindman – a retired army intelligence officer who blew this whistle on Donald Trump in his first term – appeared set to carry the Democratic establishment banner as the party staged a long-shot bid to topple a Republican US senator.

Florida’s Democratic voters had other ideas.

Democratic socialist Angie Nixon emerged a surprise victor in the US Senate primary on Tuesday, after a campaign in which she was outfunded and outspent by Vindman at a ratio of more than 10 to one.

    he was a vice-chair from 2017-2021 previously.

    While at the same time being the chair of Minnesota’s state party, and under him it went from purple to solid blue and the home of some of our most progressive representatives especially on the topic of Israel…

    I really don’t think you understand what a vice chair does, or that c chair can do anything they want.

    I get it, up until 18 months ago I spent 30 years saying the same thing you are today, it was super easy and even tho I paid attention, I didn’t need to, because nothing changed.

    But then 18 months ago it changed…

    Look around at what’s happened since then.

    If I’m right, everything is working as intended

    If you’re right, Martin is so incompetent that he might as well be helping progressives. But if you think the voting members of the DNC put him there to oppose progressives, wouldn’t getting rid of him just mean his replacement is better at holding progressives down?

    Like, there’s no way any sort of logic works out to back up what you’re doing.

    Which is trying to get people tuned out of the Dem party months before one of the most important midterms of your fucking life

    Edit:

    Nevermind, your already on my blocklist as your account(s) from other instances, and it’s obvious facts and logic haven’t magically started working so I’ll add your new account to the same list your other account(s) are on.
