The caucus has a nifty new website (HT: AP Dillon). The group is composed almost exclusively of women.
Our own Pricey Harrison is among them. Kanika Brown from Forsyth County is also part of this “squad”.
They are trying to differentiate themselves as being more “progressive” than the other Democrats in the General Assembly. In reality, this group is comprised of socialists similar to Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Ms. Dillon discusses this caucus as part of her series on the DSA.
Trevor Loudon maintains that the DSA has had enormous influence over the Democratic Party during recent decades.
Mostly a bunch of ugly with butch haircuts. Wonder what their pronouns are?
I would love to see some internecine warfare in the Democratic party. This group is a minority within a minority. I really don’t see them as a threat .
Strictly speaking, Fred, I agree they are a minority within a minority, but only on the surface. I think the overwhelming majority of elected Democrats share their worldview and their political beliefs. This is the group that is willing to be overt.
And remember, Pricey keeps getting re-elected here. She comes from a wealthy local family– she ought to know better.
