Which representatives need to be primaried in 2022?

If Republicans are serious about remaining a serious political party, they need to sanction primary challengers to MTG, Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn. But I dgaf if they exist or not as a party, and think the world would be better off if they imploded so I dk about "need."

I think Justice Dems should focus on four or five representatives in 2022, and beyond that just incumbent protection, open seats including OR governor, RI governor, NY governor, but here they are:

Kurt Schrader: He already is at the far-right edge of the caucus, and will be likely redistricted into a much more liberal district.

David Scott: Way too conservative for his majority-Black, suburban Atlanta district. Not to mention that as House Ag committee chairman he is charged with regulating derivatives, an industry he has intimate ties to. Follow the Cori Bush playbook here.

Henry Cuellar: Hard to tell how easy this would be without redistricting, but he's endorsed Republicans, he's an extremely unreliable vote for House priorities, and 2020 showed he is beatable in a primary.

Josh Gottheimer: Apologist for corporate America. Trash talks his progressive colleagues. Is both rude and unlikable. Also very likely to be drawn into a bluer seat.

Steny Hoyer: Progressives need to take him out before he has the chance to mount a Speaker campaign. I think it's unlikely he would win anyway, but a primary campaign would damage him (I assume he'd survive it though).

No not trying again, the fringe leftist takes are only worth my lol, good day.

More like you have no defense for the morally indefensible, and lean on the fact that your beliefs are explicitly endorsed (propagandized) by the mainstream media and liberal political consensus to disregard opinions that are different from yours.

I don't think it matters if Hassan is primaried, but I also think that by taking an extremely unpopular position for "moderate" cred she has further imperiled her position. Plenty of "fringe leftists" will either vote or sit out the midterm based on what the Dems accomplish, and Hassan hasn't been the most obstructionist in the caucus but certainly has sacrificed elements of the agenda for her own dumb attempt at branding herself (as the lowest in-demand kind of politician). But I've just resigned myself to the Democratic stooges' cognitive dissonance. Hassan will lose and somehow the left will be blamed, and Blue MAGA will just think the answer is more boring, white, old candidates running on corporate corruption...
