Of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green, 6 of them are in safe blue districts. They didn't have to do this at all. - Ami Bera (D+7) - Ed Case (D+14) - Jim Costa (D+9) - Laura Gillen (D+5) - Jim Himes (D+13) - Chrissy Houlahan (D+5)

“Most of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Green won reelection by slim margins last year, including Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio) and Tom Suozzi (New York).” Others cited a desire not to be a hypocrite.

What I don't understand is this: Who is the constituency that is going to penalize you in an election cycle that starts a year from now for not censuring a member over a minimally disruptive episode? Even if you're in a D+1 district, it seems like the risk is de minimis.

Don't know if you're talking to me or the other person. But I have a home in a similar district, and am involved in that community. It is one of VERY VERY FEW districts in which I'd say that leaning right is the correct approach, as much as I HATE IT and it is NOT a national strategy!

That's not at all my point. Perez got moderate Republican votes because Kent scared them too. She will lose all of those votes to a more moderate Republican. Likewise softer liberal support puts the race in contention even with a far right candidate.

I understood this as the background point. From what I've seen of WA GOP, extremists are going to the rule for quite some time. Now, maybe GOP in your district will do the wise thing(for GOP) and run a pragmatic centrist, but that would really surprise me.

I'm often disappointed in her. But the idea of letting Joe Kent win because of it is how we got Trump again. I am here for yelling and screaming in the primary and pushing for better, but hope like hell that when the time comes, we're willing to choose "less bad" as a step in the right direction.
mar 6, 2025, 6:48 pm • 2 0 • view
Well I don't think Kent is running since Trump tapped him to run the counter terrorism. If the GOP candidate is also far right then Perez has a chance but needs strong liberal support. She did better as an incumbent but far from untouchable. Don't underestimate how much of us are that pissed off.
