‘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.
Jesus, so many Democrats treat elections like a fucking trophy room. We aren’t trying to fucking win here, we’re trying to actually fucking change things and not become a fascist country. Good luck doing that with corporate sponsored assholes who have done and continue to do next to nothing for the people unless they get a permission slip from the moneyed interest.
Got it.
You don’t understand how elections work.
Well then me and the DNC have a lot in common, because they’ve managed to lose against the worst candidate in American history twice.
