    Sure sure, it’s a well known maxim that politics that works in New York works across the nation.

    Not that we shouldn’t have progressive candidates and boot out corporate chuckleheads, because we absolutely should - just that a progressive candidate in Kansas or Florida or North Dakota has a different set of challenges.

    I’m saying don’t buy too much into the ‘Democrats in disarray’ narrative the Ellison-Murdoch news machine would love you to buy.

      I feel like the big experiment in this election is Platner in Maine. If Platner can win in Maine, it shows that progressive candidates can work in rural parts of the country.
