Briahna speaks to New York Magazine columnist Ross Barkan about Tuesday's primary results out of New York state. Redistricting gone awry threw incumbents against each other in newly composed districts: progressive against progressive, blue dog against blue dog. What happened to Mondaire Jones & what's the deal worth Yuh-Line Niou? Did Jerry Nader beat Carolyn Maloney because of her panda obsession? And might Democrats actually fare well in midterms?

I can confirm Mondaire Jones had zero visibility in NY-10. Also he just wound up splitting the progressive vote so corporate Dan won. Familiar story. p.s. Sean Patrick Maloney is gay too (not that he ran in NY-10) but he's more Obama-lite then Biden-lite.

Yuh Line should have won. She’s of the district and would have been way better than Goldman. It’s the Asian erasure for me

p.s. Yuh-Line Niou carried Chinatown. Jones would've been nowhere. She should've been the progressive candidate, of the three viable corrupt turds in the race. They're all grifters. Jones has a record of enabling plutocrat wins. Goldman, however, is the biggest c**t of the bunch.

Thank you for this discussion. I’m in CA, so I’m curious: There are more than just D and R in NY. How many races in November will offer voters more than the standard 2 party options? Did Working Families Party have primaries? See you this evening on callin.

I don’t think her being Asian hurt her, considering Chinatown is in district 10. The biggest thing besides splitting the vote with a packed progressive field were the Zionist attacks on her BDS support, and there’s quite a few Jews in Brooklyn. Many are not Zionists but many are.

This is just the recap I needed. Thank God for Brie...

I'm in NY, registered independent. I couldn't take part in these primaries because I'm not registered D or R. Working Families allies with Dems kind of like how DSA does too.
