Well, now you clearly know who to vote out come the primaries.

Except the Primary (for Cuellar) was back in May and be won it. November is the general election against a Republican.

Ha. One of them is Henry Cuellar. Party leadership supported him in the primary the last time he had a progressive challenger, and it was because of votes like this.

They claimed it was because he was the incumbent. But Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman were both incumbents, only they weren't singlemindedly genocidal like every last centrist at all times, so they got no protection.

And Ken Martin hasn't fixed shit. He is currently presiding over the party's push against the non-genocidal wing.
