Ocasio Cortez(self explanatory)
Ilhan Omar (see above)
Rashida Tlaib (see Ocasio Cortez)
Maxine Waters (see Ocasio Cortez)
Collin Peterson(to make Dems lose MN-07)
Jeff Van Drew( to make Dems lose NJ-02)
Pramila Jayapal (cosponsoring an unaffordable healthcare system)


So, Democratic representatives should be primaried because...they're in line with their party's goals?

Not only. I would oppose primarying Peterson, Van Drew, or Jayapal, as they've done nothing to warrant it. Waters, however, is corrupt and is one of the most ignorant members of the House. Tlaib and Omar are anti-Semites, and Ocasio-Cortez has done much to warrant a primary challenge.

Jayapal was one of the first supporters of Medicare for All, Seattle deserves a representative who does not want to spend exorbitant sums of money on healthcare and can find cheaper, effective solutions

She's a good fit for her district, and I think districts should be represented by people who reflect their interests. While she is much more liberal than I am, she doesn't seem to have done anything, behavior-wise, to warrant a primary challenge.

To me, it's clear that Omar, Tlaib, and Ocasio-Cortez need to be primaried. I would support primary challenges against Sheila Jackson-Lee and Maxine Waters as well, though such challenges would be doomed to failure. Besides that, I can't think of any other Democrats at the moment who deserve a primary challenge.
