Adam Schiff spent money propping up an RNC candidate to torpedo a fellow Democrat. This isn’t about him putting forward a platform, this is about him sabotaging a legitimate threat and making it more likely that a republican wins the seat - do you think his genuine interpretation is that a republican should take the seat?
Do you actually have evidence that Schiff propped up his republican rival?
Edit - looked up these claims. The claim is that he propped up a republican by running attack ads against him. That’s an absurd basis to demonize Schiff for. Should he have attacked Porter instead? Dem voters definitely would not appreciate in fighting right now, when we have literal nazis to rally against.
This just sounds like more baiting to trick Progressives into grandstanding against the Dem candidate.
Adam Schiff spent money propping up an RNC candidate to torpedo a fellow Democrat.
So he spent money to win an election. That’s pretty normal.
This isn’t about him putting forward a platform…
Agreed. Most campaigning isn’t about simply stating a platform.
this is about him sabotaging a legitimate threat…
Sabotage? That’s an overstatement, if not a complete falsehood. He raised the profile of the Republican in an open primary, knowing Katie Porter had less support amongst Democrats.
…and making it more likely that a republican wins the seat - …
From 0% to .005%? How reasonable is it that any Republican wins this seat, let alone this specific Republican.
…do you think his genuine interpretation is that a republican should take the seat?
I think he realizes that this is the best chance for him to win the election. Winning being the purpose of an election, he’s acted as any reasonable person would.
You have still failed to state your standard, and how someone trying to win an election within the bounds of all applicable rules falls short of that standard.

Yup, it’s pretty well known that Schiff used part of his ad spend to promote Garvey’s name recognition.

Sorry, see my edit above. Looked it up myself
