I do not know Nadler's district well as I live in California, but if Nadler drops out, there must a progressive alternative to Liam Elkind. You could be that alternative if you have deep community roots, can excite thousands of small donors, do zippy social media outreach, come across as likeable, and can handle tough questions comfortably. Who else in the district is a potential candidate who is a solid progressive and fits all the other criteria I noted above?
If Elkind gets unlimited funds from Reid Hoffman, it will take a very good candidate to beat him. Look what happened to Nina Turner in Ohio in 2022. She was prohibitive favorite but zillionaire money beat her. Just one example of oligarchy destroying progressive candidates.
I appreciate your honesty. I am talking about a perfect candidate and have no idea who else is out there. In IL-9 Kat Abugazaleh appears to be headed toward a win and is an outspoken progressive as far as I can tell. Before she declared, I doubt anybody could have seen that coming. It is all hypothetical at the moment.
These numbers are SHOCKING, and something I wasn’t expecting. Here’s a question that hasn’t been addressed in your post: Is part of the problem that Americans don’t see the fall of democracy as a problem as long as they’re “taken care of” (i.e. they’re specifically favored by those in power)? I care about democracy a great deal, and my rights as a minority in this country as well. Those rights are under threat in multiple ways.
I don't think most non-political Americans really think this country could ever fall into fascism. When they think of fascism, they think of Hitler and Stalin and Mussolini. In a country this big, it's also easy to ignore what's happening elsewhere and decide that if things around you are relatively normal, the rest of the country must be like that as well.
You must be able to say there’s two genders without clearing your throat and stuttering. Otherwise you sound like the flat earth society. And don’t listen to this guy anymore.

I’ve lived in this neighborhood for a decade and am pretty good at answering questions but unfortunately I’m not that likable 😖

Why would you only run if Nadler dropped out?
IMHO, Nadler is a solid progressive who is mentally sharp, even if 78, who should stay in Congress.

Interesting article by Elie Mystal .... I like the unconventional take on the using "sexy" stuff to highlight the meaning of free speech!
