are the Justice Democrats saying that all NINE must meet whatever progressive standards they impose? If so, that is NOT appropriate for a big tent party and it is NOT representative of the views of the Democratic electorate. It is GOOD to have diversity of views within the range of those that can reasonably fit within the Democratic party.

I hate to see groups marginalizing themselves or attempting to dominate majority views -- if that is their position -- especially at a time when it is essential to first rid ourselves of the orange menace AND his enablers.
