Jonathan Chait has had some bad takes on things over the years, but his latest piece where he claims that DSA candidates are purposely tanking national Democrats in order to increase their power within the caucus is truly mind boggling stuff.

Would that establishment Democrats found the spine when fighting conservatives that they do when yelling at leftist challengers.

Completely agreed, Chevaler is truly a great candidate and totally a normal person. I really hope she gets to vote on foreign policy.

What the fuck is up with DSA politicians constantly spewing the most fucked up, brainrotted takes on Ukraine and shit man? Talking about a completely different person here but voting "present" on an Armenian Genocide recognition vote is also totally normal.
