Also there's some flip-flops on those issues for him too. Many people might not like someone voting with republicans on the Laken Riley act, but will accept it from politicians who are consistent. But someone who votes against the bill and then later votes for it is going to annoy people more. Comes across as having no true ideological core.
I doubt he'd raise much ire if he represented a D+5 seat or some such, but he represents a D+35 district, which is in a three way tie for 9th bluest district in the country. AOC's seat, for reference, is D+28. The entire state of Vermont is D+16 and Massachusetts D+15. This is a hyper-blue seat that should have a consistent progressive with good messaging skills in it.
