What’s “DL”? I can usually figure those out from context.

And yeah, the people who vote in Massachusetts generally aren’t urban. It’s tough to get elected using populist urban issues.

Ayanna Pressley is definitely part of the squad.

Wu ran in a platform of Racial Equity and Transit/Climate Equity, pretty explicitly.

Meyers? It’s Diaz.

She occupies Diane Wilkersons old seat and her basically be an echo of Michelle Wu.

She voted along with the squad AGAINST the recent infrastructure bill. She is a strict left ideologue that will not compromise and get what is best at the moment passed. She and the squad are just as bad as the fringe right like Taylor-Greene, Boebert, Gosar, Cruz, etc. They are all bad for America. Pressley's recent vote said enough about her for me. I will never vote for her in any election.

Just as bad? Not by a long shot. The squad doesn't believe in violent overthrow of the government, nor threatening the lives of their colleagues, unlike the lunatic fringe on the right.
