The communist Democrat progressives are fuming mad that they can’t pass all their crap. They are really pissed at Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, but can’t primary them until 2024. So for the coming mid-term elections, communists progressives are going after five radicals who are apparently not radical enough. Even plastic face Carolyn Maloney is a target, and not left wing enough for the communists.
1) Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Jessica Cisneros’s quest to remove longtime moderate Rep. Henry Cuellar (Texas) from his position as a key centrist negotiator on Capitol Hill has attracted the most progressive energy this cycle.
Cuellar, a 10-term incumbent currently embroiled in an FBI investigation for alleged improper ties to Azerbaijan, is one of progressives’ biggest potential gets.
2) Rep. Carolyn Maloney (N.Y.)
Rana Abdelhamid is progressives’ biggest chance to create a liberal trifecta in deep blue New York.
Abdelhamid, a 28-year-old Muslim woman, is competing against Rep. Carolyn Maloney, a nearly three decade House veteran, for a shot at the 12th Congressional District of the state where Democrat-on-Democrat action is something of a blood sport.
3) Rep. Danny K. Davis (Ill.)
Activists desperate to send another social justice advocate to Capitol Hill have set their sights on Kina Collins, a young, Black gun violence activist with ties to community organizing.
If Collins’s story sounds familiar, it’s because it is strikingly similar to another progressive recruit from the activist class, Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who rose to power and prominence by defeating longtime Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) amid an uproar over racial unrest.
4) Rep. Tim Ryan for Ohio Senate
Columbus native Morgan Harper, a former adviser for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, is challenging moderate Rep. Tim Ryan in the state’s Democratic Senate primary, a race that’s attracting national eyeballs.
Harper’s résumé reads a bit like Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Mass.). A lawyer and policy wonk, but from the Midwest, not Massachusetts.
5) Rep. Jim Cooper (Tenn.)
If there’s an underdog to be had among progressives’ 2022 dream draft, it’s Odessa Kelly.
The young Nashville native is challenging Rep. Jim Cooper, a 16-term conservative Democrat and member of the Blue Dog Coalition in the House, for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District.
