"Any serious candidate, from school board to president of the United States, has got to address the massive levels of income and wealth inequality that we are seeing."
"When they go low, we don't go high."
"We take them to the mud and choke them out."
"I think what the Democratic Party is starting to realize is that unless you are aggressively for working people, it is nearly impossible to win an election at a time when it's getting way too damn hard to survive."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and DSCC Chair Kirsten Gillibrand favor establishment candidates in Michigan, Maine, and Iowa, including Rep. Haley Stevens, Gov. Janet Mills, and state Rep. Josh Turek. Sen. Bernie Sanders is campaigning for progressive insurgents Abdul El-Sayed, Graham Platner, and Nathan Sage. The progressive candidates stress addressing income and wealth inequality and taking a confrontational approach on behalf of working people. El-Sayed and Platner have drawn large crowds and strong fundraising—El-Sayed raised nearly $2 million in the second quarter and Platner raised over $1 million in the first nine days—creating tension within Democratic ranks.
