While the major media chews over campaign strategy and timing and what she shoulda woulda coulda done differently, here’s what actually happened: Americans didn’t want her, and they refused to budge. It’s an extraordinary victory of public will.
Mills was handpicked by Senate Leader Chuck Schumer himself. Party leadership saw her as their best shot at toppling Susan Collins — the only Republican senator from a state Kamala Harris won. Voters were endlessly browbeat about how inexperienced her primary opponent was, how this race was existential, how a vote against Mills was a vote for the political abyss.
There was a time when that kind of emotional blackmail worked. Not anymore.

Best headline I’ve seen in years. And a great essay to boot.
This is what American leftist voters have been trying to do since 2016, and the establishment weasels and the DNC scum and their media cronies have been fighting us every step of the way.
And finally the voters are starting to win.
Every single one of those privileged, out-of-touch, neoliberal hacks needs to be primaried. Every single one - no exceptions. You fight for leftist values or you’re gone. That’s it - those are your two choices.
If we wanted fucking pro-corporate, pro-zionist plutocrats, we’d be Republicans.
I mean I’d rather a third party soc get it. If people can put that energy into the Totenkopf guy, surely they can put it into a socialist?
Ok, yes, we’ve had one fossil hobbled off, but what about second booted dino? Or revolution?
I don’t think they know about revolution.
