Comment on Establishment Democrats think they know who is "electable". These are the same guys that saw this in 2016 and said yeah we want Hillary.

Yeah we really should be anti electability, because the arguments include sexism and racism.

The other issue with electability argument is that it’s too meta and circular. Candidate A can have a popular policy X that everyone wants, and candidate B can have policy Y that most people hate, but instead of picking a policy we want and everyone wants we ignore that and just say “this trait is electable because I say other people think it’s electable trait”.

I rather people pick policies that candidates present instead of “I think this guy in the general will win”
