When squad members win it’s the will of the people (AOC outspent her opponent close to 10 to 1) when they lose the narrative it’s that they were outspent and not simply the will of the people.

The conversations that Jewish parents in NY/NJ are having with their kids around this are sad. For example, “is it safe to go to synagogue” “Am I safe?” - NOT NORMAL and every elected official has a responsibility to understand what’s going on and ask what they can do.
