Exclusive: Top House Democrat Unveils Plan to Beat Back Progressive Rebellion

216. No. I haven't seen evidence of their doing so. Unless you can link their doing so,

you're only implying it by using "actually" in a question. Without links, I'm not buying what you're implying.

Is unseating fellow Democrats their main goal? I don't get that from them. Credit where credit's due, they did help us win 2018. By their behavior even before Joe's nomination in 2020, they showed the Democratic spirit, soon after Sanders' factually two primary losses, to unify with, not rebel against, the party, because their teams met before the nomination. They met in spite of corporate media hype of "Squad" talk from trumpcult.

Is this party a big tent or not? I say it is. Are differences proof of division? I say no, not when it comes down to congressional voting. If in primary voting, they can get more voters to vote for their "progressive" goals, then why shouldn't they beat a Democratic incumbent whose votes haven't advanced even their "mainstream" goals, which are shown to be hardly any different except in how mainstream Democrats fluctuate between silence and beating their heads against the bipartisanship wall. We're at a standstill that we partly brought on ourselves with fear of media, risk, and our opponents' predictable accusatory media hype.

I've asked, but you still haven't named any progressives running against incumbent Dems. And I can't find any except Fetterman and Kenyatta.

Biden Democrats must not fall for how media try to define the progressive caucus; imo, only what progressives do defines them. So far, they are still more mainstream Democrat by their votes than are the two who refuse to vote for our majority sponsored legislation. Frustratingly, those two, not progressives, are the drag on the party.
