There's a massive centrist/blue MAGA/normie lib wave going on right now. People are unironically either V*sh tier or falling for that Andrew Yang "we just need sensible centrist solutions" bullshit.
Left wingers are performatively jaded with voting. They will still show up, mostly, and there's also a ton of elderly "moderates" who are scared of the GOP who will also vote Dem.
I feel ya, even when the candidates suck my state always has some damn ballot initiative that's either really cool (like legal weed or ending gerrymandering) or really bad so I get sucked in.
They've been pursuing sensible centrism since the 80s and 90s, longer than a not insubstantial portion of their voters have been alive. At some point one would think, your median dem primary voter has got to look around and see exactly what centrism has led to after 30+ years. To just decide to do the exact same thing for another 30 years means they like the status quo but just won't admit it or their brains have just been microwaved by priviledge and propoganda.
did she? a quick google shows news results saying she won
Almost lost. She won but it was way to close for confort
lol my brain is useless, i somehow missed the "almost" there :blob-no-thoughts:
doesnt she usually sweep? Are they just dumping money on her opponents?
When she inevitable loses at some point (itll happen if they keep trying) can we finally give up on democrats?

probably less of a people are becoming centrist thing and more of a new gen of left wingers are now jaded with voting thing

That's not how ordinary people think.
insane that a political movement that has provided zero (well, not zero. loads of bad results.) could get itself a wave.
They've provided a lot. Feelings don't care about facts. Voters act based on the media, not "material reality"
