How fucking stupid do you have to be to literally fight against the representatives that your constituents VOTED IN. Jesus its like Democrats are addicted to failure.

Please for the love of all that is holy vote out all this centrist simpletons who sit around with their dicks in their hands.

    Facing perhaps the most dangerous presidential administration in history and already planning on infighting.. what the hell..

    There's long been pressure that people that are a bit more left need to be strategically minded and work with what is there rather than get pissy because the candidates aren't perfect. Well that cuts both ways, these are the candidates the people want and you need to work with them for the common good.

    There’s long been pressure that people that are a bit more left need to be strategically minded and work with what is there rather than get pissy because the candidates aren’t perfect.

    All the progressives wanted was for us to not actively support genocide and that was dishonestly framed as "not perfect". Thats where the real battle line is. You'll notice that every candidate who comes up for the dems will be a zionism supporter, and there will be no candidate who supports universal human rights. Which is wildly out of step with what the voters think.

    I dont know why 'not mass murdering' is some sort of crazy high bar we just cant be allowed to get to, and anyone who talks about it is kicked out of Dem events.

    It’s a war they will lose, because the people won’t vote to keep them in office when they have infinitely better alternatives who finally know they can win.

    Do politicians not realize that this is the will of the people? If people wanted centrist leaders, they'd vote for centrist leaders. Obviously centrist leaders aren't doing the job so they want somebody who will. And who will fucking do something.

    So when they say they're going to war with people who are more liberal leaning than them, they're literally going to war with their constituents.

    Yeah, I’m fully convinced; “centrist democrats” are on the GOP payroll. Getting rid of these fucks will probably be more impactful than getting rid of the GOP. Kind of hard to vote for an opposition to the Republicans that has absolutely no interest in, you know, opposing.

    Guys the article clearly says Jeffries will have to work harder so i stopped reading knowing full well he's incapable of hard work.

    Yeah by hard work they don't mean legislate, whip votes for legislation, or anything that has to do with their actual job of representing constituents. Democrats can't be an opposition party because they are too busy opposing themselves.

    The war they fight won't be at the ballot box. It will be well before the voters are ever given a choice. They will use their monopoly on the election process to ensure that the status quo establishment dems are the only ones that are allowed to run. They will work with the donor's to ensure that even if a primary occurs there are no funds available for the challengers. Finally if these upstarts are actually able to get to a general election, they will talk about the need for bipartisanship and push the virtues of cutting spending while fomenting distrust in society.

    I'll be very interested to see them wage this "war" because they've been steadily losing ground against progressives for quite a while now. The fact that they had to freeze out Bernie instead of successfully smearing him was a death knell for the corporate power bloc.

    I'd say the people who want their voters to be able to have food and housing are centrist. The other guys are just slightly less far right than the Trumpers.

    "Centrist" always felt like a relative term. US centrists believe that women should have some rights, as long as the women are white.

    On the absolute spectrum of political ideology, though, many USA politicans are far far right of the "moderate" position between anarcism and fascism.

    As a HIGHLY PAID Democratic Strategist the LAST thing I would Advise them to Do is ACCEPT the ONLY People in their Party CAPABLE of Winning an Election! We MUST fight Republicans! Trump! People who want to HELP Americans!
