Omar should stand her ground. She’s not going to be unseated for doing so in her district. And there should be no heresies in politics. Where a politician can get away with challenging a policy of a party based on a logical, rational argument, I’d suggest she has a duty to do so.
Who gets to determine and direct what planks or organizations may or may not be challenged? Isn’t that the NRA’s strategy?
A progressive isn’t much of a progressive if she can’t challenge tired ideas or outdated notions. If an idea or organization cannot bear scrutiny, if it needs protection from debate or criticism, isn’t that all the more reason to expose it to both?
