121. Corbin Trent of Justice Democrats?

Sun Jan 2, 2022, 06:45 PM

Jan 2022

...no one, but no one cares what Corbin Trent says or thinks as much as people who make it their busisness to bash 'the left' like it's some threat.

Corbin Trent didn't challenge Rep. Nancy Pelosi's speakership numerous times, conservative, self-identified, 'blue dog moderates' did.

Corbin Trent didn't eviscerate initiatives in President Biden's infrastructure bill, self-identified 'moderates' did.

Corbin Trent isn't withholding support for Pres. Biden's Build Back Better bill, a self-identified moderate is obstructing its passage after cynically eviscerating progressive initiatives from the legislation.

Corbin Trent doesn't threaten this presidency, self-identified 'moderates' are obstructing this president's landmark legislation, threatening the future of our leadership in the House and Senate.

Corbin Trent... how politically inane can you get, pretending that some outside activist, former 'aide' to someone represents anything of substance within the party that actually poses a threat to the Democratic party or the WH?

Typical rightwing Politico spin. FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #1

And by "spin" you mean "reporting what a left wing campaign manager says"? brooklynite Jan 2022 #23

By "rightwing spin" FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #35

But its "The Left" which is choosing to mount a challenge in 2024. brooklynite Jan 2022 #50

I didn't know that individual represented all of "The Left" FoxNewsSucks Jan 2022 #65

He represents several Super PACs / Committees on "the left" George II Jan 2022 #82

NOBODY has "chosen" to do ANYTHING, yet. DemocraticPatriot Jan 2022 #128

No, it's just individual voices within "The Left" that is choosing that route. Torchlight Jan 2022 #136

Jeff Weaver is not "the left", he is one guy, dedicated to shit stirring, who found a willing shill. Fiendish Thingy Jan 2022 #2

Corbin Trent is presumably part of "the left". He's quite outspoken about our President there. George II Jan 2022 #21

But according to one of the sources, Biden is "old as shit", and Sanders is more than a year older. George II Jan 2022 #25

Yes I believe Carter would have won... the primary weakened him. Demsrule86 Jan 2022 #91

That would mean Sen Kennedy was responsible for the election of Reagan MichMan Jan 2022 #96

We will never know but he might have had a better chance. He had to devote a lot totodeinhere Jan 2022 #115
