I’m leftist but I just gotta say if we didn’t run a DSA candidate in Florida we would’ve won. Sometimes you need to make compromises and run someone who can actually win.

Why do you think a moderate would've done better

The Florida senate and house both have more democrats now than they have since the 1990s. The Republican super majority is flat out gone. Angie lost by 2% in a state where democrats normally lost by around 15%, and she can run again in 2 years. She did that with basically 0 funding from the Democratic Party, about $8 million vs the republican’s $28 million. That’s not the kind of turn out you throw away just because the word “socialist” sounds scary by conventional politics.
