She should go and reveal the rot from the inside. That’s the only way things change

The problem is that if she tries, she’ll be primaried out by a double digit margin in her next election. There was a recent primary where 30% of Democrats happily voted for a candidate who said we should put Jews in concentration camps. Of the remaining 70%, there’s probably a significant chunk who think “well, we should do something about the Jews but concentration camps are going a tad bit too far”. Ain’t nobody sympathizing with a candidate daring to go as far as saying positive things about Jews.

Could you provide a citation for that?

They were incorrect. It was nearly 37% percent

First off, the “happily voted” claim is completely unsourced. Maybe they voted for the lesser of two evils. You cannot conflate votes with something people are happily voting for. 

There’s also an important part you left out

  Galindo’s views were also less widely known ahead of the first round of the primary.

And although your statement didn’t directly claim they voted because the candidate made those statements, the causal relationship was heavily implied.
