"A queer-identifying, pro-Palestine Democrat had to call out of work at midnight on election night after she beat a Republican congressman who paid for abortions for his mistresses in a Trump +24 district" would have gotten you a wellness check 72 hours ago
Pretty 👀 moment in the very bitter Rhode Island gubernatorial debate last week between Dan McKee, the unpopular incumbent, and Helena Foulkes, who is probably going to beat him in the Dem primary next month:
Foulkes: "I'm certainly not disparaging the state of Rhode Island, I'm disparaging its governor."
McKee: "I am the state of Rhode Island."
This is completely missing the point of his defeat. Dan Goldman is very liberal! He is pro-abolish ICE, pro-M4A, and pro Green New Deal. He's to the left, on most every issue, of the median House Democrat in 2018. He lost specifically for being so pro-Israel - there is no constituency in a primary or a general for someone with that profile anymore
