Is support for Jennifer Carroll Foy somehow hamstringing leftism? She's a public defender by trade and seems to support a raft of progressive policies. She's also campaigning full-time, having announced no intention to run for State House again in order to focus entirely on the gubernatorial bid.
Yes, when a rather well liked leftist figure is running, stop trying to siphon voters off them by pushing some lukewarm progressive. They should have at least discussed this with Lee Carter so that they could determine the best course of action, rather than taking things into their own hands and watering down the playing field, allowing some neoliberal (who understands that once someone takes the lead, everyone else backs down to consolidate their voting base) to win off some technicality. This is literally Warren all over again, and you're falling hook line and sinker for it

I mean, do we know anything about the back end of this gubernatorial fight? Lee's not making this his full time job. He's still running concurrently for State House. That makes me think he knows he's a long-shot and isn't fully committed. He's potentially just a stalking horse for leftist agenda items and knows it.

Sanders lobbied for Warren to run in 2016 and she turned him down to endorse Hillary prematurely. This is a distant cry from Sanders v Warren.

Of course he's not fully committed, any leftist worth their salt would know that the succdems and progressives would rather gun him down in the street than to offer even the most token support to him

Because there is one dissimilarity it means that this "progressive" challenger isn't here to punch left. Is the next thing you're gonna say that Carter is neither old nor Jewish, and therefore cannot be compared to Sanders?
Then why are you complaining when other leftist organizations aren't going out-of-pocket to help out a half-baked bid?

They're backing another candidate who is campaigning full time, not murdering him in a back alley. FFS my dude, have an ounce of perspective.

It means you're engaging in some wild revisionism and false-equivalency, because you want to slap snake emojis on a candidate whose primary crime appears to be winning the endorsements you wanted your candidate to get.

Because there is a negative chance that they would help him if he fully committed, and everyone here (except you) sees that plain as day?

I'm talking about what they'd prefer, not what they did holy fuck. Yea they didn't murder him but they're sure as hell not supporting him, and THEY WILL NEVER support him

Oh you're a Warren stan, talking to you is a waste of my fucking time
P.S. Bernie is shit and he's still better than your imperialist girlboss slay kween

Blackpilled.
You hate to see it.
Why yes I think that the best person to lead the most genocidal nation to ever exist is someone who wants to nuke Yugoslavia
You're about 30 years late to the party, if that's your biggest foreign policy concern.
