Golly maybe Schiff shouldn't have spent $11 million in Dem donations, to boost a pro-Trump Republican, Garvey, "who will now turn out Trump voters in key House races that could determine control of Congress."

All so Schiff didn't have to run against a female Democrat who might win the general.

& now he wants to collect & waste even MORE Dem voter donations, in order to counter the harm he did by boosting the GOP candidate.

Do folks understand the fundamental problem with this, yet?

Schiff & Pelosi think they own this seat & that's how they've acted about it for a couple years now.

Total trash manipulation of the electorate that hurts Democrats as a whole, all in service of Schiff's personal power. It's gross.

"Rep. Adam Schiff & his allies are spending $11 million in the all-party primary to try to elevate a GOP candidate & box out Rep. Katie Porter from the general election."

"Garvey...did not pay for a single television ad"

"Political experts say Garvey was buoyed by...a [$11.2m] ad blitz by...Schiff & his allies"

He was "a vessel of opportunity for Schiff to avoid a tough November race” against a fellow Democrat, said veteran GOP strategist Rob Stutzman...“it’s also great for Republicans — they are much better off with a Senate candidate in the fall for down-ballot races" incl tight races "decisive in determining control of the U.S. House"

By the time of the primary, reporting indicated Garvey had spent only about $1.2 million IN TOTAL on his whole campaign.

Adam Schiff spent 10 times that boosting Garvey in ads, delivering Democratic funds directly to FOX & other GOP propaganda outlets.

Now, instead of having 2 Dems running in the Senate race, which would lower GOP turnout, Garvey's name at the top of the Senate ticket, will juice turnout in key House races, & offer a debate megaphone for GOP propaganda.

Great work, Adam.

I'll be quite peeved if the increased GOP turnout is enough to pass the three anti trans ballot measures, or encourages them to try again should the measures fail but by only a small margin.
