Congressional Black Caucus members are furious at Justice Democrats, accusing the outside progressive group aligned with firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) of trying to oust lawmakers of color, specifically African American lawmakers...

It just seems strange that the social Democrats seem to be targeting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, individuals who have stood and fought to make sure that African Americans are included and part of this process, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), a senior CBC member, told The Hill.

I dont know what that agenda is, but if they want to come after members of the Black Caucus, its two ways, warned Meeks, the Queens Democratic Party boss who clashed with Justice Democrats in a local district attorney race last month.

If this is the Queens DA race I'm thinking of, Meeks was on the side of a white woman against a Hispanic woman backed by AOC in that race.

Like, this race: https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2019/07/09/meeks-attacks-caban-campaign-as-queens-da-recount-gets-started-1092948

is justice democrats an official faction/faction name now?

I want to rename them to "trump re-election force" or "communist democrats", since that's what they are.

Seems like a shitty attempt at making progressives look racist despite the Justice Democrats actively embracing and courting a super diverse group.

But its also kind of fun to watch the firebrand progressives learn how the system works once theyre inside of it.

define diverse.

I would consider a group with 3 white dudes, 4 black dudes, 2 hispanics and an asian as diverse, whereas the "justice democrats" would probably call a group with 10 brown people (5 middle eastern, 5 african/muslim, maybe 1 hispanic) diverse, but not the group with the 3 white people and the asian

The establishment is so desperate and people going along with it and thinking it's funny are nuts.

What do you mean? It lists several CBC members they are targeting and at least one CBC member accusing them of targeting him

Corporate Democrats using race as a shield again.

Shut up, ROD

solid reasoning right there. Calling me the name of someone I am not in hopes that haters swarm me, the ultimate ad hominem, with ZERO defense of your argument. People like you are the reason trump won

she said pelosi was targeting newly elected women of color and her chief of staff called the new democrats and the blue dogs 'new southern democrats' and compared them to jim crow era southern democrats due to their vote on the border stuff recently

Reminder that they endorsed Fmr. Rep. Michael Capuano when his opponent was a black woman who is now a member of the CBC(Rep. Ayanna Pressley).
In fact, their membership has increased thanks to the Justice Democrats. They're just using race as a wedge to protect the establishment(that they are a part of) by conjuring the stereotype of leftists as exclusively white.
If they're so popular, then all they have to do is run on their records, and they'll win easily.
