The 36-year-old state representative who built a national profile by fusing progressive politics with unapologetic Christian faith defeated U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett in one of the most closely watched primaries in the country.
he is the “unapologetically christian” candidate who polled very strongly with Whites and Independents.
Sure, but that just means he’s a guy who appeals to less progressive/more conservative people. Now putting that in the forefront is a decision, but that’s different from modifying one’s policies to appeal to conservatives. The latter is what’s foolish; the former is the equivalent of accepting free lunch.
I supported Bernie because he appealed to me as a progressive. If conservatives came along they were welcome to.
I have never been to New York, but if I lived there I would have voted for mamdani because he appeals to me as a progressive.
I support Talerico because of his progressive stances first, his Christian presentation is a nice bonus, and I wanted a candidate who disavows Aipac and Israel.
Harris was also very progressive on policy and appealed to conservatives in perception and people give her unending shit for it.
What fucking world do you live in? Harris’s policy was to pander to the centrists and “moderate right,” conservatives hated her because they thought she was a “radical leftist communist liberal,” whatever tf that means, and people gave her unending shit for being a milquetoast establishment corporate dem with no firm stance on any progressive agenda, and for supporting Israel.
Literally all three statements in your first sentence are the opposite of the truth.
Oh, and Cuomo was a pig who stood no chance against any decent candidate. The fact that he was an establishment corporate dem running against a progressive populist underdog in an election year favoring progressive politics was secondary to being a ghoul.
She planned an unrealized capital gains tax on the rich, removing the ceiling on social security taxes, forgiving student debt, expanding medical coverage, etc.
And how many of those are unfulfilled and/or watered down Biden promises? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. She did nothing to make people believe she was actually going to do these things; promising to put Republicans in her cabinet certainly didn’t. Campaigning on fracking certainly didn’t. Dickriding Israel certainly didn’t.
The amount of accomplishments of the Biden admin doesn’t fit on a single page, but on the topic of taxes the 2017 Republican tax bill would have expired this year. I’m sorry to hear you don’t believe in taxing the rich. Renewables and environmental protection grew more under Biden than any predecessor.

I think what happened to Cuomo and the popularity of Bernie Sanders should be ample evidence that appealing to conservatives is the losing strategy.

Taxing the Rich into the ground to fund healthcare and education for all is as progressive as it gets.
I don’t disagree with you there, and I did vote for Kamala Harris, but your characterization of her campaign was simply divorced from reality.
Fucking delusional.

What better way to signal progressive policy than make Liz Cheney your hype man.
