Gee, who to vote for?
One who hangs out at the quad-now-trio table among our 235-member Democratic house caucus, ideology illustrated by her pride in losing the people of her district 50,000 new jobs from the planned Amazon headquarters even though polls showed very strong local support?

Remembering that, according to Roll Call, only 5% of this district's voters voted in the primary that resulted in their Wednesday Morning Surprise, and only 11% (!!!) of registered Democrats (presumably assuming everyone else would reelect their Democratic powerhouse as usual).
Any of the nonvoting Democrats who aren't exactly thrilled with their choices this time hopefully at least have learned that not voting can affect their futures as surely as voting.
