And she's literally 24 spots ahead of Pramila Jayapal the once chair and former co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. I guess she doesn't have a progressive record either.This list (which is stupid btw ) jasmine Crockett is below Jim Clyburn

Oh come on man that’s different. She’s a teeth sucking brunch bytchStill fighting for dear life to prove a point no one is arguing. No one here has an issue with a relatable candidate who can speak to the average voting populace.
The problem is a candidate has to do more than just pass that basic eye test. They need to at minimum have more than one or two core principles that align with Liberal ideology. What use is a candidate to the party who is anti-war and pro-labor but fiscally conservative on economics and entitlements? That candidate is guaranteed to cause chaos if the party doesn't have a strong majority. Manchin got away with this because he was the only D who could win that red WV seat. Planter might have a similar scenario in Maine but your Fettermans, Gabbards, and Sinemas could have been replaced by others.
You all are some of the same people who consistently called Crockett a terrible candidate and politician, yet she fit the very profile you're championing.
So I think it's safe to assume we all believe in some form or fashion that someone could pass the initial eye test but turn to not be an ideal choice.

You make a specific claim that her voting record isn’t in any way progressive.Do you need me to explain to you why jasmine Crockett isnt to the right of Jim clyburn ?
JOE BIDENYou make a specific claim that her voting record isn’t in any way progressive.
Then you were given data points to show that her voting record is indeed progressive.
Now instead of looking at the relevant data; the votes being used and whether or not the attribution if voting for or against it is in alignment with with progressives you’ve decided to just go ho hum the list is bad because Clyburn is above her.
Now we all see what you’re attempting to do, but I’m not going to let you off that easy.
It’s okay to admit you’re wrong. Or st least attempt to justify your position in good faith.
Overall, your takeaway should have been:
Okay, I was wrong and also surprised that Clyburn has a progressive voting record despite being a stalwart of the establishment.
Bonus points if you were able to say based on voting data over the last 5 years it looks like the dem party actually did move to the left on issues. Here’s to more.
The fight continues
