India Walton, who won the democratic primary and is endorsed by the local Democratic Party, was just told she can’t sit with the cool kids near the Governor at the Buffalo Labor Day Parade.

A judge has overturned the previous ruling allowing the primary loser to be on the ballot.

Bumping this thread once again because the (Democratic) Governor of New York is refusing to endorse the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Buffalo, because it’s clear that the Democratic establishment prefers the third party candidate.

“Vote blue no matter who” only ever applied to the left, centrists are allowed to pick and choose and cast unity to the winds when it suits their interests.

Looks like Walton will lose the race tonight to the incumbent, Byron Brown, who lost the Democratic primary but launched a write-in campaign that was essentially run by Democratic Party operatives.

Vote blue no matter who

They can't officially declare it for weeks because they accept absentee ballots till the 9th, but Brown's lead is huge. He was also helped by there being no Republican candidate, so every anti-socialist vote went to him. Under these bizarre circumstances, Walton woud have done better if she had run a no information campaign (like Biden).

The bizarre circumstance being a threat to the Democratic status quo.

If Brown did what progressives are scolded into doing after losing a primary (bowing out gracefully and endorsing the democratic nominee) she would’ve won by 50 points.

Actually the bizzare circumstances involved a lot of things. In the primary, Walton got 11,132 votes. Brown spent 70K on that campaign which was less than one fifth of what he spent in the previous primary. He refused to debate her, while he did 2 debates the time before. Basically he didn't campaign.

If Brown did not run a write-in campaign in the actual election, a moderate Republican could have and probably won. People didn't vote for Brown; they voted against socialism.

Then how did Walton beat him in the primary lol


It was a sour grapes third party campaign waged by democrats and republicans alike to secure a friendly face in a prominent political position. If a “moderate Republican” thought they could win, an election where the democratic vote was split was probably the time to do it. But like most of the northeast, an elected Republican is a tough sell, way easier to have the corporate democrat govern the same way but with a very pleasing blue ‘D’ beside their name.

Because the only people that vote in primaries are extremely political weirdos that nobody wants to hang out with, and that's why they have time to vote in primaries?

He doesn't have a 'D' next to his name. Like I said, she got 11,000 votes. It's not like it was a big public statement. The populaion is 278,000. Nobody thought the primary was worth voting in.

Fair points.

But this is the playbook now. You stop an AOC by just running Crowley third party if you lose the primary.

Yes, it will be copied.

The Virginia election looks done. I knew the Democrats would fuck everything up. I just never thought it would be this quick.

Manchin 2024? The Dems wont want to run communist Biden again.

All the usual talking heads are now and will be calling for a better triangulation to the center, no different than when they blamed 2020 congressional losses on BLM and Defund the Police.

In Virginia it’s multiple things.

Biden won the state by 10 points but the incumbent always loses steam in the run up to the midterms.

The CRT hysteria contributed, although it’s pretty impossible to say just how much.

The VA House of Delegates apparently gerrymandered some districts making it easier for Republicans to carry them, although I haven’t read too much about this.

The Lincoln Project doing a KKK false flag the week before Election Day was a stupid move and didn’t help.

The Democrats replicating Hillary’s pied piper strategy with Trump by literally spending money to send out ads tying Youngkin to Trump (despite Youngkin being somewhat distant from the farther right MAGA crowd) was a stupid move and didn’t help.

I think the last two were self owns and the first three are inevitabilities, but could have been mitigated if the Democratic leadership had committed to passing the Biden agenda by now. Instead they’ve abandoned virtually all of their campaign promises and voters have taken notice. Whether the Dems actually pass some watered down bill before the midterms, or don’t pass one at all, I don’t think it will matter. They’re gonna absolutely lose the Senate next year and Biden’s presidency will have amounted to basically nothing but an affirmation of Trumpism.
