John, check out this quote about the DCCC blacklist from AOC’s New York Times interview:
This is their priority structure. The DCCC would rather protect corporate incumbents by trying to convince staffers not to work for progressive candidates, shooting themselves in the foot at the same time.
This is just the beginning. For years, corporate and moderate Democrats have refused to adhere to the advice of progressives, and have dedicated lopsided proportions of resources and time to blunt progressive momentum. That hurts all of us.
Here’s the reality of our future that corporate incumbents don’t want to acknowledge. In the 2020 elections, every single swing seat Democrat who sponsored Medicare for All was reelected. 75% of swing seat Democrats who supported a Green New Deal were reelected. There is energy here, no matter how hard they try to deny it.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
