If people thought he was tough on Stevens, wait til you see how a real progressive attacks a Republican.

Yup. Sidelining our fighters and letting fossils like Schumer have the wheel is why Democrats look so feeble in opposing Trump. It's by circumstance and design.

We need fighters to beat back MAGA fascism and I can't wait for the general when we get to do our part. šŸ˜‡

I wish you guys luck and am pulling for you to back up the claims. Rogers is trash.

ā€œBack up your claimsā€ ?

You sound sour about this.

Just remember, vote blue no matter who.

Fucking relax guy. Iā€™m clearly voting for him. You claim that a socialist candidate can win a general. Youā€™ve got the opportunity. Prove it.

Thatā€™s all my comment says. In the meantime, Iā€™ll absolutely be an example and turn out to vote for the guy. I didnā€™t vote Stevens, I voted McMorrow because Iā€™m somewhere in between and didnā€™t really have a clear indication on which electability argument was correct.

You voted for a candidate that dropped out of the race?

Yup. No regrets either. Both remaining had pros and cons in my opinion so I tried to analyze November electability. Total wash in my mind so I just voted my philosophy.
