This is How the Radical Left Plans to Control the House of Representatives

Politico recently interviewed Saikat Chakrabarti, who was for awhile chief of staff to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and is now president of the lefty think tank New Consensus.

I consider Chakrabarti to be one of the most important behind the scenes radical left operatives. He is shrewd and understands strategy and tactics very well.

During the interview, he gave away why he thinks the radical left will be able to have major influence in the House (my emphasis):

 I feel very proud of where Justice Democrats [the radical left group co-founded by Chakrabarti] has gone. When I was running it, no one would pick up my phone calls. We were a bunch of, like, wackos in a building just trying to get a little bit of daylight. That was sort of our goal: Let’s just do whatever we can to get a little bit of daylight to get some ideas out there.

The people who’ve become leaders of the left in U.S. politics, they’re in real seats of power now. The Justice Democrats have 10 members in Congress, and the House Democrats have — I think it’s a six-seat majority. Now they can negotiate as mature partners at a table. They have real power. That’s a healthy place to be, and I think it’s a really good place to be, especially if they’re able to productively create change for the vast majority of Americans over the next two years — not just wins for the left, but everybody.

A majority Republican Senate would be far from libertarian but it would be the last road bump to total socialist madness. 

At least one of the Republican senatorial candidates in the January 5 runoffs in Georgia, Kelly Loeffler or David Perdueneed, need to win for Republicans to maintain control of the Senate.
