63. Nah, they're not in the party.

They have no sway in the party. They just mouth off as the adults in the room do what needs to be done. This latest appointment is a case in point, but it is questionable whether it will work, because the so called liberals are having such a fit over it.

The adults in the Democratic Party are trying what they can. I think they are too obsessed with some radical element that has no relevance because it has shown at least two times in a row now that it can't GOTV and doesn't give a shit (and in fact will bemoan the party itself when the activist left fails, it's all so cute).
