Every Democrat who won a competitive district tonight is a political moderate. Normies. Non-fanatics. Clergy and doctors. AND YET, the progressive wing looks at these moderate victories as proof that what the party really needs is more fanatics.
Eric Hoffer called this decades ago in The True Believer. Fanatics actually despise moderates more than their real enemies. Why? Because incremental wins preserve the system they want to tear down. To them, steady progress is a bigger threat than losing.
๐จ Ro Khanna Urges Democrats to Embrace Hasan Piker as He Calls for a Radical Transformation of the Democratic Party
During an election-night conversation with Hasan Piker, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna revealed that fellow House Democrats had questioned his decision to appear on the streamer's Twitch broadcast.
Khanna defended his appearance, arguing that Democrats should recognize Piker's enormous audience and influence among younger voters. He even expressed frustration that more of his colleagues have yet to recognize the political value of engaging with him.
The conversation then shifted to what the night's apparent blue wave could mean for the Democratic Party's ideological future.
Khanna argued that the Left's electoral performance demonstrated the political advantages of a strong progressive flank, while acknowledging that the party establishment would not simply concede the ideological battles ahead.
โWhen it comes to taxing billionaire wealth and Medicare for all and free college and zeroing out aid to Israel and stopping military sales, there's still gonna be a fight.โ
Hasan took the discussion further, asking how Democrats could build a legislative agenda that would ensure Republicans never regain political power.
Khanna responded by calling for a sweeping expansion of government, including a wealth tax on billionaires, Medicare for All, free college, and free childcare.
He also warned Democrats against allowing the party's political consultants to impose an incrementalist approach to governing, arguing that electoral victories mean little without radical change.
โI want a Democratic Party that's actually gonna transform the political economic system and our foreign policy.โ

FACTS: Bernie and AOC couldn't CLOSE for Angie in FL, after not doing much for her during the primaries.
Let's call a thing, a thing. If she won, they'd be claiming her win too.
The places Barack and Kamala went to WON!
Bernie and AOC can't move Black voters like that.

Kamala Harris campaigned in a number of these races, including Mississippi and Georgia, while El-Sayed is underperforming the environment like we said he would.
If anything, tonight should put a massive damper on any dream of an AOC nomination.

Chick Schumer is excellent at both governing (passed a historic legislative agenda with a tied Senate) and candidate recruiting, but he's bad at saying the proper catch phrases and slogans to make online activists feel happy.

Keep track of this btw. Dems are beating Republicans everywhere and Hasan Piker is focused on unseating Democrats. Wake up. Heโs not on our team.
Hasan says he's coming for Democratic congress members Hillary Scholten andย Josh Gottheimer
"We're coming for you, 2 years Hillary..what are we gonna do now Mike Lawler, you come at the king you best not miss B..I didn't even do anything in that race, but it doesn't matter..Josh Gottheimer, your days are numbered in office"

I get why you tried to erase her, told her to go away, and you wanna use this wave against Kamala Harris.
She lost to a deplorable, incompetent blob of a man. For many of you, that'd be the end of your story. You would've hung your head and quit.
She stayed and fought back.

"People have elected Democrats across the country who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption.
The people demand nothing less."
On Election Day, the American people spoke loud and clear: they are done with the corruption, incompetence, and callousness coming from the White House and the capitulation of Republican leaders. As I traveled the country to campaign for Democrats up and down the ballot, I witnessed the resolve of the people to turn pain into purpose, and anger into action.
I congratulate all the great candidates who ran fantastic races and the thousands of volunteers who made calls, knocked on doors, and ensured Democrats won resoundingly.
Now, the work begins to actually deliver results. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption.
The people demand nothing less.
