I'm 99% sure the game plan is for her to take over Warren's senate seat after this election cycle.

Is there anyone really surprised with this? She was never as progressive as the other three and her political roots weren't based in leftist activism like the others of The Squad.

Attacking her and labeling her is one thing, but bringing up her voting record is another. I don't see anything wrong with what Meagan Day tweeted.

I think this was written on the wall a few weeks back when she didn't join AOC, Omar, and Tlaib.

There was still some speculation given her withholding the endorsement for as long as she did. My own speculation is that she was considering endorsing Harris over Warren but Harris has cratered and won't make it past Iowa so this is how it shook out

I support the working class first and foremost. Sanders is the only candidate supporting an inside/outside strategy to put pressure on the Democratic Party from both ends. That's the closest any of the candidates gets to a complete working-class takeover of the Democratic Party as well as a general strike. Failing that, I would support the immediate mobilization of an independent working-class party, also accompanied by a general strike.

bad faith as hell
she's criticizing Pressley's voting record
voting yes on that bill in inexcusable

it's not okay to talk down to women

unless they're bernie fans i guess

which is what Hillary fans have been doing to female Bernie fans forever

That's where the whole "Hardcore Sanders supporters remind people of Trump supporters" thing comes from.

The somewhat conspiratorial and paranoid mindset matched with accusations of "establishment shill/hack" to anyone who doesn't support Sanders

no he's just the sanders campaign's national co-chair so if you're trying to say that endorsing warren puts pressley out of step with 'the squad' and your other example is a thing that sanders top congressional supporter voted for you should probably grapple with how that works out

unless you just want to score points against a different candidate and not actually have standards about your own

Also Ro got some pushback for that vote but iirc he released a much more thorough explanation for his vote than Pressley did.

it is clearly a careerist move, and given that her campaign against Capuano was about leadership and diverse perspectives rather than differing policy goals it's easy to see why it might rub people the wrong way that she's endorsing the more party-friendly candidate

not saying that as though she is in anyway obligated to endorse sanders or anyone else, but it's understandable for people who aren't familiar with her or her background

I'm not familiar with Ro Khanna at all tho, didn't know him until very recently

It was in a Squad meme group where the most amount of people started freaking out, calling for someone else to replace her in the Squad till an admin shut em down saying its not our fault you didnt know where she stands in general, and this isnt a Bernie group. Please stop being idiots more or less. Kind of amusing to watch during a slow work day.

Not sure what any of this has to do with the black community (feel free to explain it) but those things are all more or less true whether or not its helpful to say them. She got recruited to run against Capuano by donors who knew her from her time as an advisor to John Kerry. They wanted her to run because she has a more mainstream foreign policy view. She flipped from being a self-proclaimed centrist in 2016 to saying there was no daylight between her and one of the most progressive congress members in 2018.

It doesn't make her an awful person or anything, that's just politics.

Weren't Omar and Tlaib just regular democratic reps in their respective state houses? What did they do that was considered leftist activism?
