    It’s wild how we cater to the feelings of such voters while telling leftists they need to vote blue no matter who to save democracy. Where is that messaging for the xenophobes?

      I’m not interested in catering to anybody’s feelings. It’s just not necessarily a slam dunk win to run AOC in a national race with the electoral college in place to ensure conservatives and neoliberals keep power. Maybe once the boomers die off. Maybe if the electoral college were abolished. Until then, it’s extremely risky, and it’d be foolish not to recognize that.

      As for the xenophobes, that messaging isn’t necessary; the xenophobic fascist won the presidency. They’re never gonna vote for a brown woman with a name that’s hard to pronounce.
