The GA-6 result discredits the "centrists can win-the left can't" narrative.

[Ken Burch]

70. Everyone here agrees that Voter Suppression and Gerrymandering are facts.

Those facts don't mean nothing in this party can be criticized, and that no one can call for change.

And we can't fight vote suppression or gerrymandering by nominating more centrists than progressives. There can't be enthusiastic support for centrists and without that there can't be high turnout.

Whatever strategy we use, this result shows us that both wings of the party are equally needed.

And I'm not spreading the dichotomy of "progressive" vs. "establishment"-I'm saying the push to drive half the party out of the party(which is what the relentless anti-Sanders rhetoric here for the last few months has been about)needs to stop. If it succeeds, and if we stay with what we did in the fall of 2016 for the rest of eternity, we can never make a comeback...we'll be stuck at 49% in presidential elections and minority status in Congress and most state legislature from here on in. No "strategy" can elect us if we "stay the course".
