34. Rahm has no place in the Dem party.

He covered up the murder of a black man - nothing he wrote in some book 15 years ago excuses that away. He also did many other illiberal things (not just 'centrist') as mayor.

It was our diverse urban base (Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, Philly, Atlanta, etc) that flipped the swing states for Biden, and the policing issue as well as systemic racism is front and center for such voters.
