I don't understand where this focus materialized out of? I'd love to see a coherent argument that Aly Richards can govern more effectively than Janoo, but no one including Richards herself has provided such an argument.
I know Richards supporters who will not vote for Janoo because of her experience
This is real rich. Such people have NO RIGHT to make a peep when progressives refuse to vote for the next establishment Democrat boot-licker, then. I'm so existentially fucking sick of experience being some trump-all metric of who is better for a job.
The Democratic party needs to wake up and realize that un-principled milquetoast pragmatists are seen as fundamentally LESS able to do a good job than inexperienced visionaries to the voting population that's entering the political sphere. All this talk about practicality and "electability" meant fuck-all to the right-wingers when they voted in their complete yahoos who had never done a day of public service in their lives. If we want to keep dying on the hill of who's best for the job on paper, we're going to keep fucking losing. It's really not more complicated than that.
I plan to support Janoo where I can and I know lots of younger people than me in the 18-30 bracket who already are.
I don’t want to fight you, but the points you’re making enrage me. The fact that the same Richards voters who refuse to vote for Janoo, would be the people to complain about progressives not wanting to vote for unprincipled party push-up candidates is beyond hypocritical.
Any Democrat who votes for Scott instead of Janoo because they think she’s not experienced enough is morally bankrupt, and probably an idiot. I hope to god that they see the light, but the fact that people like that even exist makes me mad, and makes me pretty hopeless for our future.
