Huge kudos on the Rebecca Cooke win last night. She'll make a great Congresswoman, and fits in perfectly with the character of the WI-03. Onto defeating Van Orden in November.
I think the message of moving the party back to the center culturally gets diminished when engaging in unnecessary attacks on Democratic incumbents that are too personal in tone.
Even if it is hard, one should model the behaviour one expects.
Focus on winning races. Unless you are primarying a Democrat incumbent, then Democrat on Democrat personalistic attacks are off-putting.
I think there is an actual convergence of policy ideas happening in the party that needs further nurturing and that too should be a focus of WelcomePAC.
Factionalism is absolutely the correct approach. It's the only way to try and break the national image of the Democratic Party as the party of AOC and Rashida Tlaib.
You don't need to engage in factional petty personal fights to strengthen your faction. Draw contrasts, yes. Outright reject their ideas, yes. Primary people, yes. This kind of article makes you look as childish as the worst impulses of the left.
This kind of "when they go low, we go high" has been thoroughly discredited. I would love it if politics was devoid of personal attacks - I'd also love it if I won the lottery.
If you drag me into a mud pit, I'm gonna fight you in the mud pit.
