that's focusing on getting black women elected, says Emily's is such a "gold standard" that sometimes people want to know why a candidate hasn't been endorsed by them, what's wrong with her? No doubt over time some of these other groups will become familiar names also.

As for Our Revolution and Bernie Sanders, I suspect the newer poll numbers and these primary election results are starting to show something real, belying media puffery, that has been there all along since our tragic losses in 2016: That a large number of "silent" mainstream Democrats have learned things about him back then and since that they don't like. How could it be otherwise? And some will have heard about Our Revolution's attempts to sabotage Democrats running for office. Even many of Sanders' supporters have moved to other, newer groups, hopefully ones far more willing to actually, you know, get committed people elected than they are to lose elections.
