Progressive Democrats aren't turning activism into election wins

[Celerity]

28. $4.7 million was spent by outsider groups attacking Jayapal versus $1,500 (yes fifteen hundred) spent attacking Dexter

$2.2 million was spent by outsider groups supporting Dexter, versus $7,000 spent supporting Jayapal.

Almost $7 million in toto versus $8,500 in toto, to Dexter's advantage.

Jayapal could never hope to recover from that massive outsider spend arrayed against her, and for Dexter.

The adverts painted Jayapal as the face of all of Portland's negative issues.

That said, I see nothing in Dexter's background that gives me any pause.

I so hope Dexter turns out to be the progressive stalwart she really faces up as, and I have no reason to think she will not do so.
