(10,328 posts)I don't live anywhere near New York, but you would think that I was in AOC's district with how often I saw Republicans running ads with her as the centerpiece against the actual Democratic candidate they were running against.
Even though she still says things that I don't agree with, I think AOC has sense become more responsible with her rhetoric and actions as time has passed. I am also fine with Pressley, even though she has taken more viewpoints that I disagree with in recent years than early on.
Omar? She also has seemed to take the AOC route a bit, but much less so. I'm not urging for her to be primaried, but I also wouldn't be upset if she were and went on to lose to a more pragmatic and reasonable candidate that we can count on for their vote but doesn't cause the sort of electoral problems elsewhere that I mentioned earlier.
Now someone like Tlaib? I wholeheartedly would support a Democratic primary challenger to her. I think she far too often strays into the "more harmful than helpful" area when it comes to the Democratic ideals and policies I support.
