    Their examples of “swing-states” were Montana and New York, all while they downplayed her being a prominent supporter of el-Sayed in Michigan. It doesn’t even seem like the NY moderate had an offer from AOC to snub, it was just a response to a CNN question.

    And yes, it was two whole house races in non-swing states vs. a senate race in a key swing state. Bravo Axios. Others might have let shame get in the way of a nonsensical hit piece, but not you.

    They’re hurting themselves. This idea that you can convince conservatives to vote for a Democrat is backward.

    There are three things you need to demonstrate to a voter to get them motivated to vote.

    Authenticity Expertise Enthusiasm

    Playing Republican light for votes shows you lack all three. MAGA was wildly successful because the voters mistook audacity for authenticity and they got fooled by a TV host persona that was all bullshit, posturing and editing. While most of MAGA is stupid, they can certainly tell when someone is giving calibrated politicianspeak.
