This is a good, solid analysis. It's also worth remembering that every single time the members of the Squad go up for re-election, they are hit with a DNC or DNC surrogate super-PAC backed primary challenger; whereas more establishment Democrats are protected from such by threats of "blacklisting" by the DNC of anyone who would work on a challenger's campaign.
The Democrats are not on our side; and should always be treated like they're not.
Reading the book really cemented how much shit the DNC types threw at the squad. I didn't have time to get into it, but Grim details many attempts to force them into bad cotes and how Gottheimer tried to ruin Tlaib from Day 1. He had a binder of her printed tweets he yelled at her for.
