In reply to the discussion: 'It's not just one district': Ocasio-Cortez pushes back on Pelosi [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)Many progressives do not understand how frustrating it is to run of the mill democrats in red or purple leaning districts when people who have no understanding of our local situation tell us how to win our districts.
I have no problem with the progressive candidate winning a primary in one of the most progressive districts in the country. You know, like the one Pelosi represents.
I have a huge problem with those progressives opposing sitting democrats in swing districts. The district next to me is represented by a fine Democratic Party member. Representative Soto. A dick head, so called progressive Grayson is challenging him in the primary. With support from progressives. If Soto loses the Primary we lose the seat. That is what Nancy Pelosi understands.
