The New York Times conjured up a Bernie rally in Boston, but it was Charlie Baker fans who sent a progressive-who-didn’t-need-progressives to City Hall.
Love the appreciation for nuance in politics. The far left is too noisy for the small lane they fill and they intimidate many mainstream voters. Similarly the far right is noisy too, and while they occupy a larger lane they frighten the shit out of people and are a legitimate threat to a constitutional democracy. The left as a whole has a real chance to pick up voters that don’t normally vote for them, beyond just my bulwark friends. This could be the start of a majority coalition the dems can be proud of but they must be humble and meet the moderate middle voters where they are. Appreciate your work
