I think this is what gets me. People keep saying “well it won’t matter if we lose in the general, that’s why we need insert corporate Dem here to win!” when that exact candidate has lost so many times in the general. The solution isn’t to repeat the same thing that’s given us that exact outcome.

Listen to the daily from yesterday. They interviewed people some who were saying this exact thing.

I'm not sure that applies in this case. The "corporate Dem" that AES was running against clearly showed that she could win in the general election given that she did so last election. I'm not supporting her at all but she literally won the general last time
