Who are these safest-of-safe House Reps maligning and haranguing about how they rep their constituents and how they campaign? Dem Reps in R-leaning districts like:
Lamb, PA-17, R+3
Davids, KS-03, R+4
Spanberger, VA-07, R+6
Underwood, IL-14, R+5
McBath, GA-06, R+8
While the DCCC was working with candidates in over 50 swing districts, Ocasio-Cortez and her JusticeDems, self-described experts now on running in swing districts 🙄, focused all their time and energy on just ONE - Kara Eastman in NE-02 - in her 2nd run at that seat.
Before they lecture the DCCC on how to run swing district races, maybe they should explain why they still haven’t won a single ONE. Kara lost 51% - 46% in a district Biden won by over 11 points! Note that Kara did 3 points BETTER (narrowly losing 51% - 49%) in 2018. 🤔
These people don’t have an effing clue what it’s like to represent a district where 40% of the people you serve only listen to Fox, where RW outside groups pour $$ into attacking you, where the entire GOP state apparatus is targeting you (like in KS ⬇️) https://twitter.com/Davis_Hammet/status/1314566887230054402
Don’t @ me that the GOP attacks the self-named “squad.” Of course the GOP does. And it’s a *welcome* fundraising goldmine for Ocasio-Cortez and JDs. They’re not harmed by it. Their colleagues are. And JDs dgaf as long as they get the attention they crave.
Seriously. People are out here celebrating and dancing in the streets and these self-promoting MFers are running to the NYT and any media outlet that’ll have ‘em trying to piss on our parade and twist the knives they stuck in the backs of some truly excellent Dem Reps. 🤬
