Winning the Trifecta should be quite easy, but centrist Democrats might fuck it up. Republicans seem to know their days of ruthless minority rule are numbered, as many are retiring. Last I checked, we’re up to six retiring Republicans in the State Senate, and nine in the Assembly. We believe that left populists are better suited to defeat Republicans in these seats than establishment centrists.

We look forward to seeing Seawright’s story but it is also important that everyone stand up to bullies, and that we do so collectively. If she was pushed out, and the people doing the pushing do not lose political or social capital, then they will do it again, to other good, unique, passionate candidates.
