95. All of them are doing a great job!

I am always happy to see them working in different ways to accomplish the same leftward movement. I am not sure why we have to trash anyone who is working for the same movement just differently. There are an awful lot of people who support "The Squad" and are kept engaged by this kind of activism and there are people who appreciate the quiet, methodical movement of the quieter Dems. Why do we have to make this a fight? We need to forgive Dems who are activists in a different way than we might be. There is room for all and with that we have different supporters and more supporters. We should not let the R's define us as fighting, "cat fighting", not getting along. Why would anyone want to support the boring, lock step, undemocratic movement the R's have right now?

IMO they are all doing their jobs and in a damned fine manner. I like the out loud, confrontational attitudes and actions of "The Squad". I was/am an LGBTQ activist in the same town as the Phelps church, we had to be confrontational. There is a place for both don't you think?
