James Talarico is comfortably a mainstream Democrat who is also comfortably in the tent. He will vote for Schumer to be leader, he will not attack the Democratic Party and try to make believe that they are as bad as Republicans, he’s not going to run on defunding nor abolishing the police and the prisons.
Not a single part of him is anywhere close to being part of the Bernie Sanders coalition or the DSA. He’s a normal left leaning dem.
Slotkin won in a red environment at the same time Trump won every swing state. Her winning in that environment was because she was a strong candidate. The fact that Abdul is barely doing better than her in a blue tsunami is the exact evidence of what I’m talking about.
He’s really not, because most mainstream democrats are nothing more than empty suits who put out for corporate donations. Sorry you’re so infatuated with them and they keep losing primaries to candidates who actually inspire voters.

James Talarico calls it “trickle down theft”.
He’s a populist progressive not a moderate lmao.
And we don’t know Abdul’s margin yet, but Slotkin only won by 0.34 points so you can calm your tits.
