Theyâre not going to elect Democrats â the party that is actually helping them â but they should at least be electing better quality Republicans:

I mean, this is the logical outcome of years of the GOP screaming about how the government doesnât work, then doing things to ensure that government doesnât work, and then blaming it on the Democrats.

I know we shouldnât be linking to this joint but read some of the comments.
When their voter records get purged itâs cheating, when they purge records that affect democrats itâs preventing cheating.
Iâm glad it was republicans that did the purging.

I think Dean Phillips is finally about to drop out.
Dean Phillips is responding to tonightâs results with a little bit of self-deprecating humor. âCongratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me.â He then shared a screenshot from another account showing that he won Cimarron County in the Oklahoma panhandle â what appears to be his first county tonight â quipping, âIâve seen enough.â

dean phillips is no jason palmer, thatâs for sure.
Out of 91 ballots cast in the territoryâs caucus, Palmer won 51 and Biden won 40.

Looks like Adam Schiff is likely going to get his wish; he turned what was almost certainly going to be a Dem vs. Dem race in the runoff election for Californiaâs vacant Senate seat into a Dem vs. Republican race by running ads designed to boost Steve Garvey over Katie Porter.
Schiff is favored to win in November but if he screws up or gets caught in a scandal or has an unexpected medical emergency that forces him to suspend his campaign this could mean Democrats handed a sure win over to Republicans just because Schiff didnât want to have to run against another progressive.
This is some bullshit.

Youâre not going to win an election in a cult if youâre running against the leader of the cult. Now, will she bend the knee or do the right thing and endorse Biden?

Ironically, that article doesnât answer the question in the headline, other than to say heâs a Democrat from Baltimore. So before anyone gets excited thinking, âOoh, is this an up and coming young progressive?â No, heâs a 52 year old venture capitalist whoâs been an executive with Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In other words, heâs just a more successful Dean Phillips. And thatâs only because he decided to campaign heavily in American Samoa, a place heâs never even bothered to actually visit in person. SSDD.

It also means Porter is out of Congress after this year, since sheâs not running for reelection for her House seat. Of course, that was going to happen to either Schiff or Porter regardless, but still, it sucks. We need more people like her in government.

Katie Porter for President, 2028.
ETA: OrâŚif Biden wins in NovemberâŚput her on the short list for SCOTUS. Sheâs not a judge, but she does have a JD, and thereâs not actually any requirement that a SC Justice have experience in the federal judiciary. Earl Warren didnât.

Even if that doesnât happen, there are other potentially serious consequences to what Schiff did.
As the Pod Save America hosts were pointing out, thereâs a real chance that this will hurt various down-ballot Democratic candidates in the general election by shifting who is going to turn up to vote. If the race for Senator was between two Democrats, potentially more Democratic voters who are invested in one candidate or the other would show up to vote. (And if a few Republicans, seeing that they had no Republican Senate candidate on the ballot, decided not to vote at all, who are we to judge?) As the current situation is, there well may be a narrow slice of the Republican electorate in CA that
- doesnât care for Trump and isnât motivated to turn out for him
- Is interested in Garvey enough to show up to vote
and - Goes ahead and votes for down-ballot Republican House candidates that they wouldnât bother to turn out for if Garvey wasnât on the ballot.
There are so many House races in CA and the balance of power is so close that even if this were to only make a difference in one or two House races it could be disastrous.
So yeah, Iâm not a big fan of Schiff right now.
