- Chris Hayes is absolutely right.* To win in states like Texas, Democrats are going to have to bite the bullet and nominate someone they're uncomfortable with. Due respect to Allred and O'Rourke, moderate leftists won't get enough traction in red states… /1
- I really feel like more people need to constructively engage with this! You can think the moderation/centrism discourse is often braindead (as I do!) but the center left really needs a pretty robust convo about what winning, say, an Iowa or Kansas or Texas or Ohio senate seat would look like.
- …but a firebreathing socialist who can look the electorate in the eye and say with a straight face they'll burn the whole fucking thing to the ground before they'll let another useless rich asshole get another unearned dollar just might. /end * probably not what he meant.
