Some Seem Intent on Holding Joe Biden's Feet to the Fire,

151. Thanks for clearing it up

So its directed to DUers as well as any other lurkers.

I'd just say that the many of the folks on DU that are calling for and pushing for a more progressive policy platform going forward get their energy and hope from the outspoken progressive reps. So in effect, you are also including them, indirectly, in your admonishments. They give inspiration to many of us that it is possible to seriously now look at progressive ideas and policy, especially now with the majority. If a Manchin, or even a Schumer or Pelosi doesn't like it, sorry. Its a free country. And I thought, a free party to lobby within for influence. ESPECIALLY if you are an elected rep.

And those here that vocally support those reps like the Squad are not "attacking" the establishment of the party for fun, or to inflict damage, they are using the time before the cabinet is fully filled, towards pushing the party, ......even thought Democrats have done much good already.....towards even more inclusive, more egalitarian policy. Even if they and we, move the needle a wee bit forward. Maybe its time the more conservative wing of the party come down and extend a hand. Why can't the onus be also on them to come together and unify? Why is it always the progressive wing that has to shut up? There has never been a better time now when the Republicans are in disarray.
