Xxxpost well NYC parochial politics and this one congressional race dominating the dem party thread to this degree is arguably as weird.

You think canvassers have time ON ELECTION DAY to stand around with a camera in the shadows when they've been up since 4.30? Jesus. If they have so much free time why do you think they got up so early to begin with?

So you've never done GOTV work then and are utterly fucking clueless, thanks for clearing that up Fred.

NP, if you don't get why this race has, if nothing else, immense symbolic value (not only due to the candidates but also the timing) to a lot of people - not just yr Greenwald types - I don't know what to tell you
― Simon H., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 16:57 (five years ago) link
also, settling for "perfectly fine" reps in "safe" districts has helped create the present shitstorm
― Simon H., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 16:58 (five years ago) link
XPost That’s fine I get that but I rank both this and the New York governor’s race beneath the imperative to win back congress in the midterms and pick up senate seats.

I mean, this is TODAY and the Nixon race involves a celebrity who (correctly) called ICE a terrorist organization, do you really expect not to hear lots about them

Are there numbers on what she spent/raised? The ones on open secrets say her total was only 300k, hard to believe that.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Wednesday, 27 June 2018 01:44 (five years ago) link
only figures I could pull up on a whim:
73% of Ocasio-Cortez's donations were "small," or under https://twitter.com/alexkotch/status/101103964570084966500. Just 1.7% of Crowley's donations were under https://twitter.com/alexkotch/status/101103964570084966500.Wow. pic.twitter.com/TINq26AG97— Alex Kotch 🔥 (@alexkotch) June 25, 2018

ah hell, that wasn't the one I meant to share. Anyway, pretty sure the ~300k figure is accurate.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 27 June 2018 01:49 (five years ago) link
Xpost Sir, I believe Fred (ultimately) endorsed her so this is a unifying moment tragically undercut by you. You can make it up by ranking your favorite Alan Dwan blu-rays however.

If Crowley loses Andrew Cuomo and New York Democrats will respond with a two-pronged approach: a) single-payer is a good idea now and b) voter ID law but the only acceptable ID is an NYPD parking placard— Official Centrism (@pareene) June 27, 2018

Guys listen, I have some important post mortem analysis. First of all, this just proves that the so called Bernie wing is not ready for prime time. All that reliance on viral videos with no on the ground organization. Really, I like her and I hope she wins but this is not how you run a campaign. Welcome to the big leagues hon.

This photo is from Nov. 14, 2017.

Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out!
