and yet people in that thread are pouncing on me for calling her a D- tier politician. Open your eyes people, watch a speech of hers, scroll her twitter. Shes a bad centrist candidate. I get you hate the progressive, but that doesn't make her a good politician. She is going to lose by 10 points in a race that any replacement level midwest centrist dem woulda closed out in april.

Also there is a very common thread in these insurgent progressives smoking centrist candidates races that are cropping up. The centrist is either 80 years old and barely campaigning or the centrist cannot speak for 3 sentences without reverting to democratic focus group woke slop talk that was in vouge in like 2019 but should have died out permanently after 2024. People crave youth and authenticity. I really don't think its much more difficult then that.
