I'm So Disappointed with Schumer and Jeffries. They Don't Agree with Me 100%.

119. I'm not sure what cleaning house means other than resolving to silence progressive voices

Can one be progressive while arguing against the expression of progressive ideas? The number DU members that didn’t vote for Democratic Party candidates in the last major election is vanishingly small, so I don’t even know who your comment or this entire discussion is aimed at. I understand the “perfect can be enemy of the good” arguments, but I’m not convinced that this discussion is to convince those who didn’t vote as much as it is to attempt to silence progressives as the battle for the Party’s direction and platform moves towards the next election. We all know not voting D is bad. Do you want those with criticisms of party leadership decisions to not say anything and redirect there attention to belittling those who refused to vote for Democrats in hopes that sarcasm brings them to their senses? Threads like this speciously exalt party unity while mainly succeeding in unifying mainline party voices in trying to silence criticism of party leadership decisions. The same people who say for the sake of unity we should solely focus our ire on Republicans find a lot to say about their fellow Democrats with whom they disagree.
