Hopefully she has enough sense to be able to listen to Pelosi and learn how Congressional politics works. Democrats don't need a version of the "Freedom Caucus". The country doesn't need a Democratic version of the Freedom Caucus, although I suppose that the way things are going, it is only to be expected that something like that would emerge. Cool, we can really move into a modern version of the 1850s. Except the divisions in the country don't divide geographically as easily as they did back then.

Russia's dream. It wouldn't surprise me if Russia was backing the "Justice Democrats" group that is backing Cortez. What a perfect way to divide the US even further, get two very loud, very visible well funded groups with opposite views about the direction of the country and unwilling to recognize the legitimacy of the other confronting each other. Both groups have people in them who disdain "moderates"--"If you aren't with us, then get out of the way!" Gee, where have I read that recently?

It would support Putin's view that democracy is unworkable and every country needs a strongman at the top.
