        … No. Ro is a progressive candidate that has taken some questionable moves in the past - in the last day he abstained on a vote to subpoena Elon musk, and was giving interviews pre-election where he was being much more moderate than his progressive moniker woukd suggest - on gaza and biden and etc.

          I understand why Ro Khanna is being questioned for his progressive ideals, or lack thereof. I’m genuinely asking you why this person, who I’ll be honest, I had never heard of, would be getting a comparison to Khanna. This article doesn’t suggest anything about him flip flopping or having questionable ethos. So beyond having a south Asian heritage, I don’t see the connection to Khanna…

      Saikat Chakrabarti, executive director of Justice Democrats, has argued that the DCCC’s attacks on progressives only make it more likely that the Democratic Party will continue to lose.

      “Their attacks on Laura Moser’s campaign, their internal memos directing their candidates to stand down on fighting for gun reform and Medicare for All–these are not just attacks on progressives but a completely incompetent strategy that will guarantee more losses,” Chakrabarti said.

      Yep, we’ve seen exactly where that strategy lead to. Democrats are out of power everywhere and they’re still trying to pass “bipartisan” bills and confirming nominees nobody in their base wants.
