It may or may not be the job of “movements” to “create space” - but that doesn’t mean that their actions don’t have impacts on races - and “blame” doesn’t then transfer to someone else.

Swing districts were lost when comparative moderates were unable to distance themselves from more radical positions in other parts of the country. Telling those representatives that they needed to do a better job of talking about “economic justice, climate justice or criminal justice reform” doesn’t help.
