Who has received an email from Zina Spezakis?

She's apparently an AOC acolyte endorsed by a branch of Our Revolution who's decided to Primary Bill Pascrell in NJ-10. Nothing in her opening comments points to anything specific about Pascrell that she doesn't like.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Right up there with DSA and Justice Democrats. Those groups really turn me off.

These groups are pushing a 26 year old against Henry Cuellar here in Texas. I doubt that this person will not do well in that primary

Literally. They fought to unseat Crowley who was one of our most solid progressive members. The Justice Democrats are trying to be the cool kids in school and seem to operate at that emotional level.
