want to claim her win as a victory for dissident factions, or who want to imagine Capuano is not one of the most liberal members of congress. They really shouldn't be insulting him like that.
So it was a knee-jerk reaction from where I came in at your acceptance of blame for Democrats allowing ourselves to be overrun by evil forces in 2016. You're quite right that I should have read the entire thread, and you're also right for stating the simple truth that some people are going to lash out at the Democrats they can hurt instead of the Republicans and Russia who seem out of reach.
However, I see this change as far more a sign of a healthy election process, rather than the rejection of people like Capuano that the media and OR types want to cast it as. How could it be? Pressley is a person like Capuano.
I am a little surprised at the idea that a primary challenge to a congressman is seen as strange. Pressley advanced in her career, and the demographics of this district developed, to the point that her candidacy for national office in her own district seems very normal to me. And challengers ALWAYS promise change, it's required. 
In any case, this kind of thing happens when democracy is working as it should.
