(18,059 posts)It's funny how now you are taking the angle that Justice Democrats no longer have a platform about primarying other Democrats or have criteria and measurable platforms, especially when they state right in the article. Also, you are suggesting that Justice Democrats should not be taken seriously when they are quoted in the media.
Its dependent on what Schumer does, said Waleed Shahid, communications director for Justice Democrats, the left-wing group that recruited Ocasio-Cortez to run for Congress, referring to a challenge by her or another progressive candidate. Schumer will have to explain every one of his decisions to one of the most progressive primary electorates in the country, and if voters think hes capitulating to Mitch McConnell and not organizing his caucus to deliver for working families, then hes going to be in some trouble.
