In reply to the discussion: AOC Attacked by Super PAC Funded by Primary Opponent's Husband [View all]PTWB
(4,131 posts)57. It has nothing to do with not showing unwavering support.
Suggesting that is being intentionally disingenuous. No one is taking issue with Badrun Khan or her supporters, for example. I think Badrun Khan is great - she supports UBI and universal health care.
A healthy primary consisting of progressive candidates is always important to weed out the members of Congress no longer faithfully representing the people of their districts.
MCC will not win this primary. But its important to get folks here on record for their support of a right-wing, ultra-conservative Republican recently in favor of abolishing social security and Medicare. That record will NEVER go away.

MCC is a woman of color too, as is Badrun Khan. Why hold that up for one and not the other two?
