Secretly taped audio reveals Democratic leadership pressuring progressive to leave race
Caveat #1: Did not read the piece.
Caveat #2: I get the outrage at this sort of thing.With those things said, isn’t the party supposed to win as many races as possible, and aren’t they meant to push the candidates they think have the best chance to win (right or wrong)? Maybe this stuff isn’t “fair” but it seems totally expected to me.
Agree entirely. And at the end of the day, they’re going to vote with the party the vast majority of the time and probably drift left - e.g. Gillibrand (used to be anti-immigrant and pro-gun); Doug Jones is also known to be more liberal than he let on.
