@hankg @TonyStark Not a bunch. A few. And a President in office saying it (with other current officeholders if you’d opened the article) is a lot bigger than a guy who hasn’t been in office in decades.

@TonyStark @Heimdall Regardless, now the party is falling in line behind him to support him which is the more important thing. Including this announcement from the official account on Bluesky bsky.app/profile/petersterne.c…

@TonyStark @hankg It’s not a major event that the Democratic Party supports a guy who won a Democratic primary. Y’all need to calm down.

@TonyStark @hankg Where was this energy for literally any woman that’s won a primary this year? This one man and woo people losing their marbles.

@Heimdall @hankg Lauren Underwood has passed over a dozen pieces of legislation since 2019.

Abigail Spanberger can win in VA, and Mikie Sherrill in NJ. Great candidates.

I think it’s fair to ask why there’s little excitement for those victories when it takes different candidates to win in different places. I’d also say Underwood, Spanberger, and Sherrill are more likely indicative of the direction of the party than the NYC mayor who’s indicative of the direction of NYC.

I hope they all win.

@TonyStark @Heimdall @hankg The candidate has to match the district. The candidate who can win in NYC is not going to be the candidate who can win nationwide or in a midwestern congressional district. And even NYC has weird swings. This election (assuming he winds the general) a Democratic Socialist. Last time, Eric Adams, an embarrassment to Democrats. 25 years ago, Giuliani was mayor. And Bill de Blasio in between.
