      I blame her for a lot of the Bernie shafting in 2016, so in a way I blame her for Trump. Fair or not it’s how I feel when I see her stupid face.

    This followed the creation of gerrymandered congressional maps by Florida Republicans that broke Wasserman Schultz’s current seat into five shards. She decided against running in the 22nd district, where she lives, and chose instead to compete in the deep blue 20th, which has been represented by Black Democrats for more than 30 years.

    So basically, she picked the most blue district presumably because of better future-election job security. And there’s something so poetic about the fact that she did what she thought was the safest long-term choice, while completely ignoring that that will probably set her up for failure in the short-term. Because the most blue district would demand the most blue candidate, which she is most certainly never going to be.

    The primary isn’t decided but I genuinely hope someone so eager to live by ineffectual democratic establishment thinking can also die by it.

    Title is kinda like, “water is wet” but I do like that they’re starting to put famously dogshit establishment shills on the chopping block.
