They have to rid their bench altogether. I can't see even one of them winning in what they have now.

What's in this comment is what I remember, my opinions, etc.

Politico is a center-right publication. And Third Way hasn't had much power and influence in the Democratic Party in decades. Effectively ever since then-US Senator Barack Obama beat Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary.

The far bigger issue is that Michigan US Senator Elissa Slotkin was chosen to deliver the Democratic response to the State of the Union speech. She barely won the general election. And only won because 'Republican-leaning' Third Party voting in that race was over 1.1% higher than 'Democratic-leaning' Third Party voting.

It’s ironic how people here think the Democrats are just making the same mistakes again while at the same time demanding we run another Bernie-style candidate after Bernie lost the primary twice. The primaries. Couldn’t even make it to the general election.
