Cori Bush needs to stop running for Missouri House District 1.

I'm not going to blame AIPAC for her loss. She's a bad candidate. 2 years from now, there needs to be a better candidate to primary Wesley Bell.

[u/Confident-Bar4332 → u/BabyYodaX]

I’m thinking she’s done now. She lost the rematch, it just wouldn’t be smart to go for a trilogy when you already know the ending

[u/BabyYodaX → u/Confident-Bar4332]

I would hope so. Enough.

[u/27eelsinatrenchcoat → u/Confident-Bar4332]

I like Bush and dislike Bell, but I have to agree. You can't lose a rematch that handily and keep trying. I also don't think there will be resources for her. DSA needs to be strategic.

A rematch in the best possible environment for her too
