Surely they’re not thinking that people like this racist hater of western civilization are going to win over maga voters, normie republicans or centrists.

I'm surprised by this argument. I don't think they're so naive as to think they're going to win over anyone from MAGA. No one is going to win over MAGA. They are beholden to only one person. We shouldn't waste any of our time or efforts on them. This much should be obvious by now. What is a "normie" republican? Centrists? Politicians in moderate areas should tailor their messages and campaigns towards the electorate in those districts. But they most certainly don't need to piss on progressives to do so. Unless that's all they have, in which case it's pretty pathetic. I think we saw many successful campaigns in other districts that don't lean as far left on moderate terms. I don't see any problem here except the one that has-beens like Carville are intent on creating. For what? So they can "own" the progressives? Playing with fire to say the least. Could be the downfall of the Democrats. There are too many people fed up with the status quo.

This argument would be sound if they were satisfied to run these types only in bluer than blue districts. I have a feeling they’ll imagine a presidential candidate should also be this way too. Which raises the question, where do they think the marginal votes going to come from?

After all, Isn’t that their theory of the case for nominating far left candidates?

No. The theory for nominating progressives/DSA/left candidates is to get something done about the utter failure of late stage capitalism to ensure a decent life for all the citizens of the US. It is to get independently minded politicians who won't bend the knee to today's fat cats or sit in a corner wringing their hands because they might be seen as too 'socialist', because what a horrible word that is.

You didn’t understand my point here. By ‘theory of thw case’ I meant what new voters they were going to get compared to 2024. To hear them tell it, progressives stayed home. And they think they won’t if someone who thinks white women are ugly or criminals are just misunderstood or whatever runs instead of someone like Kamala.

It seems like they do hate democrats. After all, Isn’t that their theory of the case for nominating far left candidates? That left leaning voters stayed home in 2024, even with Trump on the ballot? Surely they’re not thinking that people like this racist hater of western civilization are going to win over maga voters, normie republicans or centrists.

That’s messenger shooting. His message (that the press can’t stop talking about three victories in deep blue districts but doesn’t mention the success of the Serve America org) is simply true.

Carville complains that the press can’t stop talking about Mamdani going 3 for 3 in the bluest parts pf NYC while totally ignoring the fact that the Serve America pac went 11 for 12 nationwide electing moderate dems.

Gives hope to those of us who don’t want to turn the party over to people like her.

Wow that lady is a piece of work. Shes on the record with her goal being ‘to destroy western civilization’ and she’s criticized interracial marriage because black and brown men ‘shouldn’t marry ugly colonizer women’. Her wanting to cede the streets to criminals is probably one of her more moderate positions.
