AlterNet: 'Show them what mean really is': Influencer calls on Dems to start bullying MAGA

[Celerity]

33. Exactly, as we will always have 'go along' centrists who come on and kneecap the more aggressive (especially if they are

progressive) Democrats.

Yesterday I saw the ex US House FL Dem Stephanie Murphy (she of the conservative Dem trifecta, Blue Dog leader, Problem Solver, New Democrat Coalition, a relentless progressive basher, and a sometimes Pelosi attacker) come on MSNBC and have a go at Democrats for not all coming together and supporting the 'reasonable' (her words, not mine) Laken Riley Act en masse. That stance is nothing new for her, after meeting with President Trump in September 2017, Murphy said that she and fellow Democrats could work with him, and she then voted for (also horrid) anti-immigrant Kate's Law:

Stephanie Murphy and Val Demings just voted for an incredibly terrible anti-immigration bill

In that MSNBC spot yesterday, she especially singled out the progressives, her apparently eternal enemies.



She did, to give her credit, serve on the J6 Committee, but she clearly has a lot a disgust still for many members of our caucus.
