A bonus group chat with two seasoned professionals of the political left.

Two operatives who went up against the Cuellar machine in TX-28 share stories from the frontlines and pitch some provocative theories.

In the DMs: Ava Benezra, the organizer who’s been driving the JD campaign machine since before The Plague began. We recorded just after she'd worked her last day as the (former) JD campaigns director.

Alongside Ava, a Bloc Party debut for the leftist comms professional who’s tracking the press coverage of Democratic party politics and contested primaries every day of the year: Usamah Andrabi.
