The New York Democratic Party is pouring money into a primary race in NY-16 to attempt to remove progressive representative Jamaal Bowman from office and replace him with a centrist hack named George Latimer. This is what democrats do instead of fighting republicans.

The thing that pisses me off the most about this is how the Democratic party absolutely refuses to cultivate younger or more progressive leaders. This guarantees electoral failure over the short and long term. It's why I honestly blame the Democrats more than Republicans for fascism.

Plenty of other people have pointed this out, but what you are saying is not supported by any evidence you or anyone have mustered

I am doing work on this race as we speak and I’m thankful to say this is categorically not true.

Remember the time Rep Omar let on that AIPAC exists and Dem leadership threw together a public shaming in like ten minutes.

Democrat Kelly McGrath ran pro-Trump ads in Ohio in 2020. The DCCC helped Trump win the nomination in 2016. They keep telling us that Trump is an existential threat to democracy; maybe they should stop helping him all the goddamn time.

Even worse - a lot of that money is coming from Republican donors.

If Democrats fight Republicans, they won’t get tax cuts for the rich, or billions genocide in Gaza.

Wildly frustrating to see The Daily do an entire story on this exact issue the day after you were getting pushback for this (correct!) post: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The liberals will get in your face and tell you “you don’t vote in local elections,” but as a matter of fact, we DO vote in local elections. And our own party spends money to try to undermine and overthrow our decisions.
