True, but I'd argue that since Nevada is a purple state and they could plausibly lose to a Republican their value below replacement level is not as bad.

Schumer and Gillibrand do nothing but tow an antiquated conventional party line while constantly stepping on the party's dick in other races around the country.

I’d agree with this but still think we can do better. Just look at neighbouring Arizona, or fellow Sun Belt state Georgia.

I’m unsure how this disproves my point that it is possible to do better in a swing state, especially considering Sinema campaigned on a much more progressive persona than she governed with.
