We Passionately Disagree
NEW YORK NIGHTS
Mayor Adams has it exactly wrong (Mayor Adams Blames Progressives for NY Midterm Losses, 11/10/22). We needed more Progressives in New York State and all across the country in this midterm! People like ‟attack dogs”, as Republicans have demonstrated (although they’re pretty much rabid).
Republicans don’t run on, ‟Look at us…we’re almost like Democrats”. They double-down on their insane positions. Yet so many Democrats try to present themselves as ‟Republican-lite”. It just doesn’t work. It didn’t work for Tim Ryan in Ohio and it certainly didn’t work for “centrist” Democrats in New York.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and State Sen. Julia Salazar couldn’t be more on target when they call for more Progressive candidates. We need to fiercely embrace what we stand for and show Americans that Democrats are ‟attack dogs” for providing all of us with better lives! Then we’ll win everywhere. After all…who doesn’t want a better life?
