Angie Nixon didnโt win her Democratic primary because of a weak state party. Voters chose her over a candidate who outspent her 10 to 1.
Also no one outside of the national media bubble saw her through the lens of โDSA,โ which is part of the reason she beat back the GOP caricature of that label, and shows the limits of this sort of analysis.
Actual people chose an actual person โ letโs start there
Ezra Klein on the electoral performance of El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon:
Angie NixonโI don't think there's any reason to look at the results and say it was a brilliant strategic move to run the DSA candidate in Florida.
Sometimes people take statements about electoral performance as moral statements about the worth of a candidate or the ideas. That's crazy in my view.

yes, there is a blue wave. but the amount of transphobic initiatives are passing, even in deep blue states, is very very concerning

The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.
