    People are saying we’re better off without him, but this is a very conservative district (voted for Trump 3 times) and analysts are suggesting that his withdrawal means the district is likely flipping GOP next year. It’s entirely possible that his withdrawal is what keeps the GOP in the house majority.

      Saves us the trouble of needing to primary an incumbant moderate. Give us a good democratic socialist.

    Better off without him…

    Neoliberals depend on a corrupt DNC that was willing to completely cut off funding to any state party who didn’t do what they said.

    And with the “victory fund” state parties were essentially paying protection money to the DNC, and getting literally 1% of promised returns. Like, the gist was a billionaire could “bundle” their own various donations. The max to all state parties, max to candidates, and max to DNC as one payment to the “victory fund”.

    But Martin’s already dumping all that money back to state parties with zero strings…

    Just like Pelosi and this guy, neoliberals are going to drop like flies because losing an elections hurts the salaries on “consulting” jobs. They’re gonna want out and locked into contracts before corporations realize it’s not the same ballgame anymore.
