As the election nears, the party throws its weight behind unreliable centrists
Grasping to keep control of Congress, Democratic leaders are turning their backs on some of their staunchest supporters in the House and propping up stronger candidates who have routinely defied them on health care, climate change and other major issues...
--snip--
At the heart of Democrats' strategy is hard arithmetic. There are only about 170 congressional districts across the nation that will routinely elect liberals, and in the rest, Democrats must field more centrist -- and in some cases downright conservative -- candidates to win...
It wasn’t that long ago that Dem leaders were threatening to withhold election support for House members who didn’t support the liberal agenda. This is laughable now.
At least they learned how to count. The question for me is, "can they be a loyal opposition"?
“They are going back to disguising their motives just as they have done after evey mess they’ve made for the last century.”
Given their voting records...and now much the public is paying attention now...I believe that train has left the station.
It does come down to numbers. If for some reason, the numbers in the House didn’t change, then they would not be the loyal opposition. They would get in line again and do what they were told.
Oppose.......and oppress.
Perzactly.
Well said, agree 100%.
Yah, the NRSC stepped to the plate to refuse any financial help to COD. They were hogging a microphone to blab it when COD was making an announcement. The NRSC needs their clocks cleaned in the public square.
Sorry Democrats, you have shown your colors when you became Progressives instead of Liberal Democrats! You are now to be thrown into the bin of history...
Personally I won't be satisfied until they're being hunted down with bloodhounds.
“I’ve taken those votes because it was the right thing to do for the American people. Now the DCCC is walking away. Let’s send a message to the DCCC. Let them know that you support candidates who stand up for your principles.” -— Steve Dreihaus (D-Limbo)
“As of early Saturday afternoon, the appeal had raised a grand total of $4,571.”
“the appeal had raised a grand total of $4,571.”
George Soros probably kicked in $4500 of this total.
LOL!

What??????? They’re saying Betsy Markey is being cut loose because she’s a progressive???? But, but, but, all her TV ads say she’s a double-dog BlueDog CONSERVATIVE Democrat!!!!! I mean after all, she only voted for ObamaCare Cap’N Tax, Trillion Dollar Baby, No Election Unions, Pelosi for Speaker, and all the rest of the Marixist lineup, but none of the really bad progressive things, right? Wow, I’d sure hate to meet a REAL progressive if Betsy ain’t one of ‘em!
So, Julie, what does this tell you about America?
(Democrats abandon House progressives)
Who in the rat party is not a progressive?
I think they are trying to fake us out by dumping the well known ones and then saying, see we got rid of them, now there are no more progressives left in the party. A large pile of BS.
Don’t forget the Marxist Commie elitist wing. They’re the deadly ones. The rest are just under their influence.
A vote for any Dem is a vote for a Marxist feminist on the supreme court.
