Maybe they’ll even manage to lose to Jack

It’s so painful. These party boss democrats are responsible for running the party into the ground. They get to keep doing so with Sherrill

Yes, running moderate, machine backed candidates without any policy proposals has worked out so well for democrats these last 10 years.

So weird to me that his supporters will say things like “You have to admit he has charisma and is a great speaker!”

He only seems to have passion when he is either talking up himself or putting others down. He isn’t actually a very good story telling or a compelling talker.

I’ve really devolved from

“This guy Steve Fulop seems good”

to “If Fulop doesn’t win it sets progressive policy in America back 20 years”

In the last 5 months. Make us proud @stevenfulop.bsky.social !

Is there any productive way to actually support the project?

Any idea if Larry Andersen still calls home games?

Unfortunate! Democratic machine politics in NJ is a big reason people have lost faith in the Democratic Party.

Would also encourage you to check out @stevenfulop.bsky.social!

His policy detail is unmatched and might actually make a Democrat in NJ look good for once.

People like Kirk and Bannon have 100% bad intentions.

However, an uncomfortable truth the Democratic Party has to reckon with is the fact that they need to somehow reach voters who voted for Donald Trump without making them feel like we think they voted for the devil (which they kind of did)

Oh yea this has certainly turned me off Gavin Newsom and I don’t endorse this particular course of action at all.

I’d like to think we can endorse the idea of trying new things while also thinking this is a bad idea

The bigger issue here is democrats are so scared to try anything other than conventional methods that this seems absurd. We should be trying all possible ways of reaching people and going with the ones that hit.

My hot take is that it’s actually not a problem that Gavin Newsom is doing this. It’s one out of the box strategy that a high profile democratic elected official is trying.

If it fails and he loses all credibility without making inroads, who cares?

I don’t think there’s every been a more “right” answer than nominating @stevenfulop.bsky.social for governor for Democrats

From personal experience this is a huge problem. The worst instances are when the trains are so packed that the conductor can’t come through so the trains with the highest actual ridership aren’t accounted for properly

That’s a far better way to vet candidates than a pleasant personal profile of Mikie Sherrill in the New York Times
