he had no hope whatsoever of unseating her. when's the last time a sitting democratic senator lost a primary (because that's effectively what their general is)

lol it was lieberman wasn't it. makes the whole markey thing seem even crazier that polls had it close since it's insanely rare

edit found more info, here's the list of 94-17
code:
Name	Year	State	Party	Cause(s) of defeat	Primary result	Nov. Result
Bob Smith 	2002	NH	(R)	Temporary party switch (R to I, returned to R before primary)	53-45	Hold
Joe Lieberman 	2006	CT	(D)	Support for Iraq War	52-48	Lieberman independent victory
Lisa Murkowski 	2010	AK	(R)	Moderate ideology	51-49	Murkowski write-in victory
Arlen Specter 	2010	PA	(D)	Party switch (R to D)	54-46	Loss
Bob Bennett 	2010	UT	(R)	Perceived moderate ideology	Never made it past convention	Hold
Richard Lugar 	2012	IN	(R)	Moderate ideology; lack of state residency	60-40	Loss
Luther Strange	2017	AL	(R)	Questions over appointment, well known opponent	55-45	Loss

they hate primarying their own because they think it’s a meritocracy and once someone has made it to office it therefore means they are the best at it

right, one person's resume says they can do the job by being in the job, you can't argue with that!

another question that's very cynical: has a female democratic incumbent lost in a primary at the fed level (house/senate)? there's far fewer in office so I'm doubting it, but just another barrier in the dem primary that doesn't exist with republicans

Otoh just lock everything the gently caress down what are you doing you poo poo bastard old man. No travel, pay everyone a mint monthly on top of unemployment and stimulus, imprison all non-compliant to the pandemic rules.

The fundamental conflict in the Biden administration is going to be between the mostly PMC white Obama and Clinton people on the one hand and the black political establishment which thought crowning Joe would give them way more leverage. If that video where Biden was yelling at black political leaders is going to be any indication of the battle moving forward, Biden is in serious loving trouble come 2022 and especially 2024.

black establishment elites are PMC in spirit if not occupation. Elite universities and sleek corporate jobs do a good job of homogenizing political outlook for ambitiious, morally flexible people, and a federal government that works hand in hand with tech companies, oil companies, defense companies, and Wall street has a broad consensus of support.

Clyburn is the biggest recipient of pharma money in Congress. They literally plucked a Raytheon board member to head the DoD. The congressional black caucus supported Hillary rather than bet on Obama.

If there is any strife it'll be about who gets to have the better position to be the recipient of corporate money.

Good example of black corporate PMC bot is Tony West, who was Obama's high level DoJ official, and just successfully oversaw the gutting of labor law in California under Prop 22 while working for Uber.

Biden is not going to do that. 70% of freight is carried on trucks, and 6% of the labor force is in some occupation related to trucking. They are not going to put the check points necessary on roads to implement any sort of travel restrictions. At most, their consideration is going to be a "cdc recommendation."
