    Fun fact, Ayana Pressley, the only memmber of "the squad" that endorsed Warren over Bernie, is also the only member of "the squad" that doesn't have a well funded more right leaning primary challenger against herself.

      I don't think those two are connected, more like she made an error in judgment and the shitlibs didn't wanna fuck with her because she's not a Muslim or Latinx and they constantly insinuate non-Muslim Black women are the backbone of the party so there are limits to how far they can push it before people start to notice what horrible people they are for primarying four decent politicians that are good at their jobs

        Of the squad:
        Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - DSA
        Rashida Tlaib - DSA
        Ilhan Omar - not DSA, described by a staffer as a demsoc but publicly denies it.
        Ayanna Pressley - not DSA, hasn't been "accused" of socialism to even need to deny it.

        Omar and Pressley are definitely on the lib half of the squad.

            Isra Hirsi is better than the whole squad. Her posting power is second to none.

          AOC is the one that lectured protestors camping in Pelosi’s office. Called her “leader Pelosi” and refused to endorse progressives.

          Ilhan on the other hand destroyed Elliot Abrams and wrote a bill to withdraw from Afghanistan.

          But sure go ahead moron, you can count the meaningless party labels instead.

      I mean Pressley is more right-wing than the others so of course she won't face any challengers.
