"electability" is just the way that rightwing Dems launder their social conservative views they're too willing to admit to by projecting them onto the general populace

Strange to see people continuing to make "electability" arguments in support of Lamb, someone seemingly incapable of getting votes even with massive institutional support. https://twitter.com/gbrew24/status/1526933367954055173
