Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush face formidable challenges but Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar in Summer Lee much stronger positions

    They’re on the same team in the same way you’re on the same team with a stranger when there are 6 ravenous wolves circling your dwindling torch light.

    Is that stranger a fascist? Will they stab you in the back? Who knows: but it’s better to have a back to press yours to than it is to have 3 unwatched wolves behind you.

    Coalition forming is our only option as progressives.

      Except a better analogy would be one bear, and the other guy keeps pushing you down while you run away.

      You barely survived and fours years later you find out that other guy kept the bear as a pet this whole time but hasn’t been feeding it and it just escaped.

      And when you both run he trips you again.

      How long will it take for you to realize the guy is just as dangerous as the bear?
