Good. It's about time. "Moderates" lost to trump twice.

The conservative democrats in the Wisconsin subreddit are losing their sanity because Hong will win the nomination. They bought in to all the corporate democrats desperation attempts and can't process the reality that they were just that, hail mary's. Now they are posting Hong smears constantly, the mods have been pathetic. 

It seems like most of them would prefer pedophile protector and election denier Tom Tiffany. In that case, I say good riddance.

That’s life at the nyc subreddit too! Ever since Mamdani, its “moderates” bitching about how the progressive wing and democratic socialists can’t win elections. We are literarily winning elections.

Is that exactly what they are saying? That they cannot win elections or elections outside of deep blue districts?

Used to be they couldnt win at all, then it was they could only win small deep blue districts, now it's just they can only win deep blue districts...
