Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman loses New York primary to former City Comptroller Brad Lander

This seems like the kind of ridiculous purity test that divides potential coalitions. He’s got a ton of Jews and Muslims in his district but he was speaking out against aid to Israel before it was cool.

How would/did you vote differently? And other than what it means for how he serves his very divided constituents, why does the nuance of his position on Zionism matter here?

I genuinely question the intent of both comments you’ve made in this thread.

I didn’t ask how you would prefer he be, I would prefer that too. I would not say he sucks though, at least compared to the status quo. But for you he sucks enough to make it the point of your (in my opinion) unhelpful and nuancephobic comment, in the context of celebrating progressive gains.

He’s taken heat for pursuing radical solutions to homelessness, he criticized aid to Israel before it was cool, and he got arrested for trying to hold ICE accountable.

So I’m asking who you would have supported instead. That’s all.

Gosh there must be more but people have already added a lot of great ones, but I haven’t seen these commented yet.

Radicalize the frogs 🐸

Not for nothing, but if Trump is accusing the left of using paid actors, my immediate thought is to recall that every accusation is a confession with this piece of shit.

It’s not like he’s got facts, or even any kind of imagination, to draw on when he’s squeezing out these truths. All he can do is draw on whatever dastardly shit he can remember doing in a similar situation at some point.
