July 3Jul 3 Trump? Looks like socialist candidates trying to clear the field.The FBI used a Democrat insider as an informant to infiltrate Governor Gavin Newsom’s inner circle before the corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife Jennifer Newsom.Recall that Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, was indicted on federal wire fraud charges last year.

It's a good thing. Sometimes messy, but ultimately good. And, to be fair, we're talking about a handful of races. There've been plenty of establishment Dems replaced in their primaries by moderate Dems. The only common thread is that Dems want fighters who have no desire to "work with the other side". As they should. The other side is 100% fascist.

On the other hand, empowering the fringy leftist types is a problem and there is simply no margin for error at all. This is "hold the neck down" time. No more own goals like the trans in sports crap or the defund the police slogan crap.

Or if Denver wants to send a DSA rep to Congress. Again, we're talking about 3 inner city races here and they're people that represent what their constituents want. The important part is that none of them ever intend on working with the Republican Party and hammer down on balance of power solutions.

Yes, he is a national figure at this point even if he only technically has power in NYC.

The problem isn’t him endorsing candidates but rather him endorsing those candidates. But of course you know that’s the point I’m making.

You seem to be surprised that the Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor endorsed 2 Democratic Socialist candidates in the NY Rep primary. He wasn't forced the endorse them, but they're all DSA so it's certainly not surprising. It's also not a big deal unless you're addicted to right wing media.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. After all we are talking about the Dem Party. What is surprising is how you seem to think it is just fine for the current leading Dem figure to endorse candidates who make such radical statements as those three. Thats the kind of action that multiplied x50 leads to losses in Nov and in ‘28 and in a moment historically where mistakes are simply not allowed. The stakes are too high.

Obviously, they want more social programs. Not sure if they've come out and endorsed something quite as radically socialist as the government taking stake in Intel or all the AI companies, but they've definitely pushed plenty of social programs. But again, we're talking about 3 house seats, not the Presidency.
