So if a strong DEM came out with Fire and Brimstone even locally and took a smart ass approach but could quote off facts and figures the top of his head. And pretty much showed no respect to the right only to ridicule them? On ignorance or biggotry were just like fuck it and did not play by the so called “rules” the republicans did. They should be able to Trample the shit out of any Republican?

They’re more afraid of leftists than they are of MAGA. They more or less threw the 2024 election on purpose rather than move an inch to the left, and then after losing, they figured they can just lie low and blame all the destruction on the Republicans, claiming that they were completely powerless.

they had that twice, and censured one of em. They tried to stop the other one but the people of New York did the right thing

The thing about that is the main Democrat establishment hates that type of candidate and tolerates Republicans by comparison, so in such a race, the Democrat party actively sabotages the leftist candidates. That’s why Bernie runs as an independent - the Democrat party would not support him and actively sabotaged his attempt to run for president in 2016. The Democrat party also attempted to sabotage Mamdani’s run for mayor of NYC, but they were unable to stop him from winning anyways, despite their opposition. So, maybe the dam is starting to crack and we will see more cases like that. The party will fight it tooth and nail the whole way, though. They would much rather have Republicans in power than leftists.
