Pool for how much of the vote Wu gets in the primary

[tumblrkek]

Holy shit that's 23% too many

What did he do to get so many votes

 

[W person cow]

Y'know, I'm from Eastern Mass, but I can hardly tell you much about this mystical 8th district, so I don't know what the people are like there. But I'm confident in saying that my district (#4, Kennedy) wouldn't pull this crap.

In your district, the upstart challenger got 5% and the incumbent got 95%
Brianna got more than 4 times that.
Because I have magic powers.

Um, no, it's because the incumbent in that district was Joe fucking Kennedy.

And you know that.

Don't you EVER talk shit or imply shit on the Kennedys in my state again. Do you understand?

 

[KillThemCrackasBabies]

I like how her defense for losing is pretty much "I barely even tried!"

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

I want to get off the ride.

YOU STARTED THIS, JAIMAS
YOU'RE STUCK ON THIS RIDE WITH THE REST OF US

I'm kinda miffed that I missed my chance to finish her campaign comic, though. I thought I had more time for some reason.

You know, I feel weirdly proud of Bribri. Yeah, she's a talentless hack, but she tried to be proactive in her own weird way. I'm feeling. . .so many feels.

 

[ObeseScreamingBlackMan]

I voted that she would win the primary. I genuinely hoped she would.

Because I don’t live in Massachusetts and GOD DAMN that would’ve been A LOT of content.

About one step above "I meant to do that."

And I mean a spider's stride above it.

Lol Chappaquiddick.
Joe Kennedy is a bribe taking tool who loves war and big pharma kickbacks.

Bitch got what, $200,000? And that was just "kidding around" cash? I guess nobody has any right to expect her to run a political campaign any different than a game studio.

The real loser in all this is Christopher Voehl

Lol poor Mothman spent $50K of his own money on the campaign and bought signatures and newspaper ads with it.
He said 2 months before the Primary that he "just learned you're supposed to fundraise".
Then showed up to a grand total of about 5 events to meet voters
Brianna did about 45 events
Even Lynch did about 25
I do feel bad for him for all the money he spent, but it's pretty sad when even Brianna ends up working harder than you did.

Even with 0 effort you shouldn't lose an election by 15 points to Brianna Wu, that's pretty sad.

"I admit that everyone else made mistakes and my whole campaign staff was total shit but I was still a great candidate" isn't much of an admission.

Still, it wasn't REEEEEEEE TRANSPHOBIA/MISOGYNEY/GAMERGATE. The bar for her is set pretty low, just like her getting more than 10% of the vote is a success for her.

Flynt might not have won today, but people like him are the future of the Democratic party. Once Pelosi, Feinstein, and Clinton eventually kick the bucket, the floodgates will be opened and their party will be awash with crazy white-left fucks.

And then the party implodes as the purity spiraling intensifies.

And it'll be republicans in power forever.

"Dad, my teacher was talking about the Second Civil War in class today. Do you know anything about it?"

Not really. The scary part is that no matter how crazy the Democrats get, the amount of voters that desert them due to their crazy will eventually be more than made up for by demographic changes.
Get ready for America to become a funhouse mirror Tumblr version of Venezuela.

If sufficient immigration reformation is done by Republicans, that won't even be an issue.

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

Why is what's-his-nuts the former campaign manager still here? Did KF grow on him? Or is he just here to gloat (though about what, Wu getting 25% of the vote)?

 

[Picklechu]

The nicest thing anyone's saying about Wuwu is "congrats on pointing out a vulnerable incumbent." Other than that, it's all neutral, matter-of-fact stuff, or making fun of how terrible she is, including the statements about moon rocks and bitcoin taking up all of the world's energy.

I guarantee that a supermajority of the votes Wu received were votes against Lynch, rather than for her. Lynch will try and brush up his left wing in the next Congress in order to scare off serious challengers. If he runs again, and so does Wu, and a serious challenger runs, Brianna will be lucky to receive the amount that Voehl did this year; same case in a scenario in which Lynch retires.

Um, no, it's because the incumbent in that district was Joe fucking Kennedy.

And you know that.

And because Joe Kennedy isn't seen as what is now the right wing of the Democratic Party, or old, or representing a mostly urban district where 20%+ of voters are nonwhite.

Because Wu is a backstabbing cunt and Warren can be actually entertaining, which is nice.

No they aren't. And I'll boil down why in under three sentences, without touching on the fact that the Democratic party apparatus has not even begun to properly recover from Hillary's defeat (and sucking dry the war chests of almost every fuckking congressional dem down-range; go see this little post from me about that little gem if interested):

Increasingly going to the extreme left is chasing away anyone with anything remotely resembling sanity or stability, and contrary to the crowing of the media, the extremist left have quite literally never been the most numerous part of the Democratic party, nor will they ever. In the 2016 electoral cycle, county-by-county, much every single area that was not a Progressive safe haven (such as Manhattan in my home state, which every other part of NY fucking hates), went solid Red, including areas that haven't voted Republican since the party realignment after the Civil War. General consensus amongst experienced Dems is that the DNC is fucked, and they are going to have to accept at some point that nobody fucking wants what they're selling. The money's already drying up for them, since the Hillary Debacle cost them a fortune, and nobody is going to give them money to continue to fucking lose, so they're going to either have to get with the program out of simple self-interest or get swept aside.

This is only half right. The ACTUAL extremist left is indeed losing. Greens get crushed everywhere they go.
But progressives with actual local bread and butter, broadly popular ideas, which just get CALLED "extremist" in the media but aren't, have won 570 races so far in 2018.
Danica Roehm didn't win because she's transgender or because she's radical. She had a plan to fix the highways.
And that kind of thing will keep winning. In my opinion.

Every time someone in a pussy hat or a handmaiden robe goes on TV screaming "abolish ICE!" or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez makes an ass of herself, a suburban soccer mom decides to vote Republican if this is her only other choice. As a Republican operative, I hope they keep it up.
