Her defeat is another loss for progressives in a race defined by Democratic divisions over the war in Gaza, with pro-Israel groups pouring millions into a campaign to oust her from office.
This is missing what I am saying:
Protest votes for republicans appear identical to fullthroated support for republicans. There is no “why I voted” short answer on the ballot
All it does is signal support the (also AIPAC backed) republicans
It will not be seen as a consequence of not choosing a progressive
If a republican wins there, you are absolutely not going to see progressive run in that seat. You will see more and more “centrists” run. The long term picture is worse
I don’t think you understand how politics and elections work.
If people on the flanks give their voting power to “Blue (or Red) no matter who”, you end up with the Clintons and Bushes of the world.
Parties have no incentive to actually do anything for their flanks.
When people on the flanks leverage their voting power effectively, you get MAGA and Justice Democrats.
Anyway, hope you learned something today. Otherwise, hope you have a nice day.
Let me get this straight. Are you seriously claiming that the MAGA crowd seized control of the GOP by protest voting for Democrats in the general elections?

Ok, so basically what you’re saying is that you want democrats to vote red because.yiu also vote red. Glad we cleared that up. Go away.
What you are describing happens in primaries.
If you vote in the general for an R, oddly enough, politicians think you support the R ticket. Way to kneecap progressives guy.
