Here’s a quote from the article in the N.Y. Times that somehow I couldn’t attach.

“The activist wing of the Democratic Party mobilized for several of the night’s biggest races, trying to replicate the insurgent victory of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York earlier this summer — and for the most part falling short.

In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, a youthful candidate for governor backed by Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, lost a primary by about 20 percentage points to Gretchen Whitmer, a former Democratic leader in the state legislature. And in Missouri, Representative William Lacy Clay turned back a challenge from Cori Bush, who campaigned alongside Ms. Ocasio-Cortez and framed her candidacy in similar terms.

The left still displayed real political force: Mr. El-Sayed and Ms. Bush both won more than 30 percent of the primary vote as underdog candidates. But the night was, on the whole, a display of strength by more conventional Democrats and a reminder that Democratic primary voters across the country are not necessarily motivated chiefly by liberal ideology.”

IMHO what this could mean is that just as Trump’s election victory spoke to a general dislike for Obama the upcoming elections could speak to a dislike of Trump. Simply stated it may not be about “policies” at all. After all we do live in a Facebook world of “likes”. Analysis of “content” is simply gone.

Heartbreaking loss for Welder, but all in all it looks like actual Progressives are now a force in Dem-Politix and they are only gonna get stronger as the years go by.

Some candles in the night-wind.
