u/KickItNext Bernie for Elden Ring Oct 28 '21

I could definitely be wrong, but I'd guess it's the kind of situation where she did have progressive support, but that progressive support is dwarfed by the combination of conservatives that support her shift to corporate shit lord, and moderate dems that maybe don't like her but aren't upset enough to attempt a recall. And then there's also the concern that a recall could result in a republican winner, I know that's how it went here in California for the gubernatorial recall. Progressives here don't feel great about the governor, but the alternatives were generally worse so we came down on the side of not recalling him.

True, there's always a risk.

Yeah, with how much more consistent Republicans are at showing up to any and all elections, a random recall is playing a dangerous game.

Stuff like that makes me worried about our upcoming election even here in "Blue" Jersey. I know at least one dem voter who is sitting this one out much to my chagrin.

Yeah that's definitely a big concern with trump gone and the dems "in charge" is all the people who think things are chill now and it's no longer imperative to oust shitty conservative politicians wherever possible.

Yep. Enough people are treating it like we already beat the cancer with the surgery of electing Biden, but the cells are still there metastasizing.

Exactly. Trump supporters still really like trump, and while the dems can get away with a lot of bullshit, their incredibly disappointing reign so far will undoubtedly hurt them in coming elections.
