The Jessiah/Pisco line actually had the highest upside here and MrMouton/WhickTV line had the lowest.

First of all, I want to say that everything here is moot if the internet does not actually have that much of an effect on actual elections which would make the intrafactional war of the last few weeks essentially a streamer beef.

Okay, if we're being logically consistent here, everything that was true about AES and the general is as true for Crowley in the general if not more so, right? Crowley "has a lot of work to do" to get the people on the left to vote for him in February and is going to have to "moderate(?)" to get them to vote for him, right? Who's this going to be easier for: Pisco/Jessiah mindset people or Mouton/Whick mindset people?

The Pisco/Jessiah position was not openly hostile to Hong and her supporters and kept the consistent principle of "blue no matter who" which makes coming together in the general a lot easier than the actively hostile eliminationist rhetoric of the Mouton/Whick. I remember Destiny saying that it's "really hard to come back" from certain insults and “voting against protecting kids from sexual predators" seems like it should be one of them. It is clear that for many, BNMW is not an actual principle but is a method of stifling left-wing dissent when moderates win primaries.

I've heard that "Blue No Matter Who" retrenchment is mostly a "top of establishment" on the internet thing and that no one thinks that we're talking about voters because the left-wing voters always come home in the end. Why should they now that there is hours of evidence of their "allies" saying that their preferred candidate should lose to "MAGA" and that MAGA "is losing influence?" If MAGA is not a real a threat, and they have roughly half the Democratic primary electorate, why not use this leverage now that the moderates have expressed a willingness to do the same? This is why we stick to BNMW. So this part is easier.
