I actually thought Ellison was a poor choice only because of the muslim shit. Sure, it doesn't matter to progressives but can you just see the optics that the fascists would employ?
"An Islamic Radical is running the Democratic Party!" would be shouted from every rooftop. They don't need that kind of distraction and they certainly don't need to hand the fascists an easy win like that.
Even so they came close. That does not mean that you take your marbles and go home. It means you fucking try harder. Siege warfare requires pounding on a specific point for a long period of time until you break down the wall. The progressives need to learn that.
