    Considering it's r/politics - this comment surprised me...

    cannibalwendy comments on Discussion Thread: OH-11, OH-15 Special Election Primary Results

    I didn't pay attention to this a lot, but in this thread, I feel like there's this part of this pattern where people gleefully dance on progressive's graves and make comments about "viability" when "twitter is not real life" cuts both ways and we all have a tendency to over project ideology onto what is local feet-on-the-ground races.

    If Turner loses, she at least built a really big electoral footprint of power that can be built on top of. This is all about building power, and democracy, not horse races.

      The other comments on that post really shine a light on just how much liberals hate the left.

      I wouldn't be surprised if she runs again
