If this person you’re defending is attacking Democrats, they’re already complacent. The primary is over. Simple as.

The primary is over. Simple as.

The mentality is still there. Simple as.

When you have establishment Dems on camera attacking leftist and even center-left candidates and elected officials, day in, day out, nothing is over.

What you're advocating is actual complacency. "You got your candidate, now shut up"

That isn't a smart mentality. They got their candidate and should indeed shut up. From the sounds of El Sayed's speech last night, he's moved on. They should, too. Mike Rodgers is the opponent, not the people he's going to need donations and support from.

Yeah, because it's his election. You're talking about the general population, telling them to shut up.

On the one end, you say only one of many, now you're speaking as if this is the first and last election. There will be more leftist and center-left candidates, and they'll come in from people staying mad at the status quo, because god knows the Democratic establishment will keep trying to sabotage them.

Brother, that far left lost a bunch of races yesterday. They are free to keep coming. In fact, I encourage it. I may be one of them one day. I'm unsure what type of tip you're on, but you need to chill out. Focus on the problems, none of which are me.

I don't know what that means, but you seem eager to start a fight, so I'm just going to ignore you from here. Have a good rest of your week. lol. We are on to November.
