You know Mr. Sykes did something similar doing thr WI senatorial race...overly harping on Barnes shortcomings as a sign he (or dems) shouldn't have voted for him but Johnson's issues as just general problems any R faces. Like when Johnson put out those ads making Barnes darker...Mr. Sykes mentioned it as being bad but yet what the base wanted. He seems capable of calling out behavior but never to the point of withdrawing support.
In the end, Mr. Skyes maybe Never Trump, but he is still also apparently "Never Left". The idea that both sides deserve criticism is fair. Yet his criticism seems to be from the viewpoint of someone who wants so the left be more like the right used to be, not someone who wants to see the left succeed. He wants so badly for the Dems who will run people who will appeal to the old pre MAGA base...but as many have said, trying to co opt the Dem party is well...off-putting.
I am starting to want to read Bulwark just for JVL and the guest writers.....
I was really disappointed by Charlie's criticism of Barnes. It gave anti-Trump conservatives cover to vote for Johnson. And who was the greater threat to democracy? Barnes, or Johnson who tried to have fake Electoral College ballots turned in to be counted. (I know he tried to blame his staff for that, but if you believe anyone on his staff would have done that without his direction, or at least knowledge and approval, then I have got a bridge you might like.
