There once was an SNL sketch starring Tom Hanks and Chris Farley about a family having leftovers for dinner. Hanks took a swig of milk that was completely spoiled, gave out an exasperated sound, and then everyone else wanted to get a taste of the wretchedness.
Remember that as we ask: Why do Democrats keep drinking this spoiled milk...
Congressman Henry Cuellar is known as "Trump's favorite Democrat" and represents a very blue district. He was one of the last Dems in Congress to support impeachment. He always sticks up for big corporations and undermines progressives.
Josh Gottheimer launches grenades at AOC and the Squad from his perch in a New Jersey district in the New York suburbs. He organized other conservative Democrats to kill attempts to end child cages at the border. He is consistently pro-Wall Street.
These are the exact types of Democrats who watered down Obama's agenda in 2009. Why do we keep drinking this spoiled milk?
Jessica Cisneros is a bold progressive recruited by Justice Democrats to run against Cuellar. Progressive Councilwoman Arati Kreibich is challenging Gottheimer.
Here's another one.
Congressman Richie Neal had to be dragged kicking and screaming to request Trump's tax returns as a powerful Democratic committee chair from a very blue district. The state of New York recently offered to give him Trump's returns, and he said no! His committee controls Medicare For All legislation and he constantly puts up obstacles. Progressive mayor Alex Morse stepped up to run against Neal.
One more note...
In a flippable Nebraska district, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee backed a pro-life corporate Democrat against Kara Eastman last cycle. Kara won the primary with a message of Medicare For All! Kara then got 49% in November without the Democratic establishment's help. She's running again to flip this red seat blue, and the establishment is silent.
The September 30 fundraising deadline will be used to judge their momentum. Your help today will go a long way.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here.
