'Squad' membership likely to grow following progressive primary wins
Minutes after progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was projected as the winner of a Democratic primary where she was vastly outraised by one of her more moderate challengers, fellow "Squad" member Rep. Rashida Talib took to Twitter to celebrate.
"Our squad is big!" wrote the congresswoman from Detroit, who defeated a formidable primary challenger in Michigan’s primary just a week earlier in another contest that like Omar's grabbed national attention.

The last thing we need is a fraud squad INSIDE the ESTABLISHED Congressional fraudsters
Because "the squad" isn't the problem; its the army of idiots that elects them.
Way back in 1971, when I was in high school, my friends and I would talk about “scary stuff” in political movements. Whenever a friend would say something like, “People will never stand for that!” I would always say, “What you mean is that this generation would not stand for that.”
I said that because it was obvious to me that my generation was accepting all sorts of things that previous generations thought were abominable.
And the beat goes on...
I expect she'll be reelected by Putinesque margins. This state is moving left, the election of Keith Ellison to a statewide office is ample proof of that. Red Minnesota is a pipe dream that the GOP just can't stop chasing.
If you know any “moderate” or “centrist” Democrats out there time to get in their faces with a message, long and loud.
Your Grandpa’s Democrat Party DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE!!!!!
It is now the Communist Party. Is THAT what you want??
I am glad they won, stop hiding these great voices .
Pelosi should give them leadership positions
Unlike obama/biden(moderate centrist lol) they talk and vote the same way
No more fooling the fools
Exactly, and there are millions of them.
Perhaps not a red Minnesota BUT this district has been completely decimated and their leadership has abandoned them DON’T wave the white flag yet her BLACK opponent is making inroads in the community and this bitch has been NO WHERE to be found!! I will wait till Nov. before I give up on this country or Americans that really want this kind of country I don’t believe for a minute we are this far gone yet CLOSE but not yet!! These Dems destroying these communities is a real eye opener for many voters!!
You cannot change the mind of a leftist. Some Democrats and some Liberals are flexible. The leftist are hard wired and only bullets will rid America of them.
It did exceed GOP turnout.
The DFL had a number of high profile primaries, the biggest being the primary for 5th District US House. In other areas of the Mpls St Paul area, they had some heavily contested legislative primaries.
The GOP, with the exception of a few scattered contested state legislative primaries, really had nothing to vote for.
Not sure how to read the tea leaves on this yet.
This doesn’t bode well for America’s future.

Given the tolerance for lunacy and radicalism in this country the Squad will likely morph into a platoon before long.
The one thing to take from all of this is that The Squad and their new members represent solely urban really liberal districts. If Pelosi retired, her district would more than likely elect a new member of the Squad.
Many other Democrats know that the Squad is poison electorally in their districts. They may identify with some of what the Squad is doing but they’ll not ever wanna stand too close to them.
That isnt surprising. MN has always been and probably always will be a Dem stronghold. when i grew up there the DFL (Democrat Farm Labor) party owned the state and that was 50 years ago. Even then it was virtually Socialist. The difference between then and now is the DFL has morphed into an actual socialist party with the Somali population in the Twin Cities at the helm. The Scandinavian Minnesotans have been largely supplanted in leadership..

Their idea of flexibility is negotiating the timeline, not the outcome.
I’ve worked around lots of liberals. It is not possible to reason with them as they are immune to facts and logic.
The only way to deal with them is by displaying strength and resolve. Anything less gets no respect.
Yes, they are, but these racially gerrymandered districts we have give them representation in the House where they can cause trouble, especially given that the media complicitly and fawningly cover their every move and utterance.
Not just that. Untold billions flow to retail establishments from people with guaranteed government checks coming in. The more spent on EBT, the more gets spent at Walmart. I wonder how much telcos got from "obamaphones".
SPJNK.
The Deep State is also layers upon layers of crime and corruption, and this Squad filth is just finding it ‘niche’.
Nope. But the sons of bitches that elect them should. But stay in denial if that makes you happy.
Hopefully the smaller communities and more moderate people will be shocked to their senses with all that has been going on in Minneapolis and other cities.
