Does anybody know if these are safe district Dems or purple district Dems? I do have some sympathy for politicians who use strategic votes that don’t actually matter.
Case in particular is in an incredibly safe district that votes in progressives for other offices, but after winning his initial primary with a plurality he hasn’t had a real challenger despite being a quisling centrist doing performative party-bucking the whole time. Hawaii’s political landscape is just incredibly steeped in backroom politics and an aversion to risk. Case himself was in Congress previously and basically killed his career for a decade by challenging a senator before it was his turn.
One of the big names in state politics just lost to an upstart though, so maybe the cracks are growing.
Of the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Al Green, 6 of them are in safe blue districts. They didn’t have to do this at all.
They should have been up there blocking his removal. Instead they’re helping the anti-American authoritarians. Fucking DINOs.
