An excellent and rational take on the elections last night

[Quiet Em]

There are a lot of people in all parts of the Democratic Party who are extrapolating an awful lot based on three primaries in New York City. Moving 1.3% of the next Democratic caucus marginally leftward is neither A NEW TEA PARTY THAT WILL DESTROY US nor THE COMING OF THE INTERNATIONALE.

1. If the people in their district support them, we should quit campaigning against them, any Democrat

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Every journey begins with a single step

And when a butterfly flaps its wings…

The Dem party establishment will certainly fight tooth and nail to ensure this doesn’t become a nationwide trend, but nevertheless, I think Mr. Fecke is whistling past the graveyard.

3. Indeed. Even if the three progressive candidates endorsed by Mamdani

win in November, which they probably will, they are only three of 435 members of the House. It's a very small shift, indeed, if it's actually a shift at all. Congratulations to the Primary winners, though. My best wishes for them.

I live in Minnesota, though, and can only vote in one Congressional district. The Democrat will win there, too, though.
