4. I still like her.

I‘m not a Bernie fan but I respect Tlaib‘s decision.

5. And how is Bernie, who's hardly ever gotten a bill through Congress, supposed

to completely transform the system? Why is it "selling out" for Democrats to seek to at least try to develop a consensus, as Obama did? And how is it even possible to completely transform the system with only only a small majority in the Senate (if we are lucky enough to get it)?

6. I'm assuming that by "not selling us out" means not compromising to get a bill passed.

12. Chris.

He said that although the squad has social media influence and the media loves to talk about them, they have to get things done for their constituents, "put points on the board if you're going to earn your office." "I don't know why we're calling a bunch of freshmen some kind of entity of influence in a system they just got into."

10. Me, too. And how do you get the other side to agree without compromise? n/t

11. The problem is

that we’re having to negotiate with far right wing nuts aka fascists. We need a supermajority so we can enact the progressive agenda without Republican interference.

8. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.
