He is not wrong about the CBC, though. They are a pretty moderate/conservative part of the Democratic party tent.
Hardly aligned with the left in most cases. Clyburn saved Biden. Lost of long serving Reps in VRA districts. Very comfy for a long time. No challenges. The longer you are in Congress the more the establishment & moderating forces tends to seep in.
There are some exceptions, of course. Some of the younger Reps (Frost). Pressley.
Really the issue was his inclusion of the word "white" referring to leftists, which was unnecessary and undermined his point, which I don't think is entirely wrong for the reasons you listed.
I wonder how long it takes SMP to start cutting its Georgia ad buys. No reason they should be spending $20 million on a race where we're favored and the incumbent has a ginormous cash on hand advantage. I assume they'll spend something to show they support incumbents, but that $20 million could probably be cut in half and we'd still be fine.
If they have the money to spare, I'm fine with them keeping that $20M in Georgia. The more dominant Ossoff is, the more likely KLB is able to cross the finish line to become the state's next Governor.
Yeah, in a weird way, boosting Ossoff with additional funding *might* be more effective than directly funding KLB to an extent. Jackson has an infinite supply of money to pull from, nothing we can do will help KLB bridge that gap. Ossoff, on the other hand, has a huge financial and polling advantage over his opponent. Jackson can spend as much money as he wants on his own race but given the reduced frequency of split ticket voting, the larger Ossoff's margin of victory is, the more likely KLB is to win from straight ticket voting alone, even if she underperforms Ossoff/Jackson outperforms Collins.
Correction: William Lawrence is running for MI-07, not MI-13.

Agreed he is correct in his assessment…. But it’s still something you have to word very carefully when saying out loud

Conroy certainly hasn’t emphasized any progressive agenda, including wealth tax or universal healthcare.
