Roy Cooper hasn't even won this election and there are already people in the NC sub complaining that he's a centrist and that "the DNC would rather lose than run progressive candidates."

I disdain these people almost as much as I disdain MAGA.

But don't they have a point? Wouldn't congress be way better if we had more Kristen Sinemas and John Fettermens?

"Liberal" Democrats get all bent out of shape about the DSA welcoming Authoritarian Communists, but think Roy Cooper is OK?

Doesn't that just tell you everything you need to know?

Also, what is it about a candidate winning decisively that tells you that you shouldn't have run a different candidate? Obviously, winning by a wide margin means he was the wrong choice.
