Especially with the ones your’re tangentially in - how sure are you they’re real people? Operatives/bots sometimes perform racism for demoralization ops (as well as grievance recruitment).
Real people can get fighty/terrible too, but these days ”how do I know they’re real” is often worth asking.

He cares that he can scare people with it, he cares that he can use pretend enemies for power.
Like McCarthy, he's never cared about what words actually mean, or about truth.

Doesn’t really answer the question: who stayed out that was obviously competitive more competitive *circa 2025*? With justifications that aren’t so obviously monday morning quarterbacking?
If Mills had never wanted to be there, she could have just stayed out. More likely she read the room.

Who stayed out that would have been more competitive?
Blaming Schumer in general is a odd reflex. It's odd to blame *anyone* for preferring someone like Mills who has in fact won statewide office twice and made reasonable policy contributions. That's a decent candidate for a Senate seat.
