Molly Jong-Fast: Democrats Are Polling Terribly Because They Need More Chris Murphys, Mamdanis and AOCs

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: “So, this is the $24 million question, right? Why are Democrats not — why are the polls bad? Why are they not breaking through? And I think it’s a couple of things. I think one is the people who are breaking through are brave, right? They talk like humans. They make the case, you know, and again, and it’s like Pritzker’s chief of staff told me, it’s not necessarily left versus center. It’s fight versus cave. And the people who fight get support, and the people who cave or are mealy-mouthed or are, you know, very sort of corporatist D, that crew, the crew that’s afraid cannot break through, does not appeal to voters. The question is, it’s only going to be for people who really feel authentic. Right?”
