OK then, so Mamdani's win was ALSO meaningless, right?
No.
It doesn't mean anything about a progressive push in the party?
Didn’t say that either. It’s not proof that the party is getting more progressive. He didn’t exactly earn their full throated endorsement.
You see how your arguments works both ways?
No. My “arguments” was that that one or two examples dont constitute a “proof” about any grander strategy being used.
. Why are you so upset that Dems won in VA?
Oh I see we’re just doing full blown straw men now.
In that case, it’s the same reason you are so upset about some shit that you didn’t say anything about.
They wouldn't have won there running Mamdani's campaign
That’s true. Virginians don’t care about free buses in New York. They’d probably have to make the campaign address Virginia.
because the entirety Virginia is the not the municipality of NYC.
Hard truths here in this post.
Fact is, the more progressive candidate won by 15 points. Not sure how this proves anything about what would have happened had an even more progressive candidate run.
Moreover, Democrats seem to have done little self-reflection over whether their aggressive push to implement their progressive values alienated more conservative Americans and contributed to their own defeat in 2024.
I would feel shit about losing their money just because I wanted to gamble so I don't do it.
You would feel like shit if you lost somebody a dollar? How about one cent? Even if there was a 1/1000 chance? Even if they stood to win life changing money on the other 999/1000? Do you think they would be upset?
Is no amount of loss worth any amount of win? If that’s your position, then how do you even get up in the morning? Why is this situation so different at the bar? Likelihood of things going badly in a bar are far far higher in my estimation.
you’re describing gambling
I’m describing basically every choice you ever have to make in terms of gambling, yes.
