Bernie Sanders-endorsed challenger defeats Providence mayor in a Democratic primary

Comments

1. Grim Cinder: don't expect the party's blessing that easily now
2. Irisa: Bernie's endorsement must've been all it took, but who got him this haircut?
3. Solar Specter: Smiley's loss is a sign that Rhode Islanders are hungry for change. I'm curious to see how the winner's progressive platform resonates with voters in the general election
4. 🐺 Elena M.: yeah i remember this area from our last campaign trip here didn't think the mayor's message was gonna resonate this strongly. how will this impact future races in RI?
5. Sofia: thought this was gonna be a shoo-in for Smiley, but I guess you never count out a guy who's got the Senator behind him
6. Falkmilan: can't believe this is what passes as winning in rhode island politics now
7. Lucas: you'd think some of these endorsements would carry more weight actually still kinda surprising Smiley took that long to lose though
8. Silent Moth: interesting that Sanders' endorsement mattered here, but isn't it curious how some cities are more open to progressive shifts than others?
9. Static Phantom: surprised Smiley didn't run on his track record more... now we'll see who the real progressive in this district is 😉
10. Lenakaur: that haircut is still going strong apparently
11. Sanalarsen: interesting how endorsements can lose steam when they're from someone as polarizing as Sanders
12. Mayad: that's actually not too surprising given some of Smiley's past comments on progressive issues
13. Talia: another young Dem on the rise, think we'll see more from this guy
14. Freyas: haven't been following ri news closely but that surprise loss still makes me wonder about grassroots movements and their staying power
15. Leo: surprised he lost by that much seems like some local factors at play here
16. Kaibianchi: another big loss for the DSA movement. wonder what Sander's team will say to spin this
17. Norat: thought the Sanders machine was supposed to be magic, not just another D primary shuffle
