Your argument on Angie Craig doesn’t add up as her record is far more liberal than Cuellar, Golden and Perez. For starters, Craig sponsored DC statehood and has been consistent on impeaching Trump from the beginning.
I don’t think Craig is a perfect House Democrat either but if anyone here were to actually call her a conservative, facts wouldn’t back them up.

I think it's very cringey when progressives call anyone who isn't as far left as them "conservatives". Criticize their votes, sure, but let's be accurate.
Other than some of the squad, Progressives aren't really far left rather just left-wing Social Democrats. The guy did make a factual error on the Al Green censure vote, but he may have been mistaken, otherwise he wouldn't have provided the spreadsheet. I personally agree with Progressives on some issues and New Democrats on some others.
Sure. I believe in accurately describing a Democrat regardless of how liberal, moderate or conservative they may be compared to others. Being honest with facts is important.
That said, criticizing a House Democrat or Democratic U.S. Senator because of votes is fair game.
My take is that Craig would be fine but Flanagan would be good/great. I wouldn't be disappointed to have Craig end up senator ipso facto, but I would be disappointed to see us miss the opportunity to get someone who I'd expect would be great.
Kind of like Porter vs Schiff. It's not that Schiff was inherently awful but that Porter presented the chance to get more of the type of strong communicators and real policy wonks the party could benefit from.

Agreed. I’d probably narrowly prefer Flanagan to Craig but Craig is hardly some conservadem
My view is the same.
