  1. Submission statement: Progressive in an upset victory may have benefited from increased anti-ICE messaging. Shows how toxic Trump’s brand is and how much pro- immigration sentiment is starting to resonate with the electorate again

    Moderate Dems probably get hurt in liberal districts. Moderate Dems get a big boost in Republican districts. No one size fits all effect imo.

    This is also the best outcome. Progressives pushing entirely transformational agenda. Moderates keeping them from going off the rails.

    Ideally this is how our two party system is supposed to work. But it’s basically a [fineilldoifmyself.jpg] moment where the Democrats will have to take the reins. 

  3. Just beyond baffling that AIPAC spent two million dollars in ads to portray Malinowski as some pro-ICE politician because of a relatively small disagreements. Now, they assisted in getting someone elected who is much more hostile to their cause.

    Americans want people that will fight for them. Moderate Dems also happen to be moderate in their willingness to fight for Americans. They don’t have to be progressive, but they have to think accepting fascism is not an option.

    Wouldn’t it make sense for Malinowski to run again later this year for the full term? This is a largely suburban D+5 district, and if the progressive candidate wins, it will be in part because there was a split field.
