Last year, as progressives launched campaigns to build on the momentum of AOC and Ayanna Pressley's victories, @SpeakerPelosi stood by the @dccc policy to blacklist any organization that worked on primary challenges against incumbent Democrats. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dccc-promises-to-blacklist-firms-that-work-with-candidates-challenging-incumbents_n_5c95126ae4b01ebeef0ec3ae

For two years, Democratic Party leadership has endorsed incumbents over progressive primary challengers claiming it is their policy to always back incumbents -- even when the incumbent was anti-choice and endorsed by the NRA. https://www.texastribune.org/2019/09/29/nancy-pelosi-cheri-bustos-rally-around-henry-cuellar-amid-primary-test/

But now, when a US Senator champions the Green New Deal while wildfires blanket @SpeakerPelosi home state in smoke, she chooses to endorse a challenger.

This is using your power to undermine next generation Democratic voters and the progressive champions we choose to believe in

In a moment when progressives and young people are feeling demoralized by many aspects of the Democratic National Convention and the state of our country, this is a TERRIBLE strategy to build a strong, inclusive, and united Democratic Party.

This move reeks of hypocrisy: the party is setting one standard for progressives and one entirely different standard for the establishment.
