(1,290 posts)Those are the types that are going to be in a central position in the Clinton administration. The Democratic base has to keep the pressure up to make sure the centrists don't cave on things that are important to us.
And don't you guys get it twisted: they'll cave on anything, even the things Clinton ran on, if they let her. So if you care about LGBTQ rights, or the environment, or criminal justice reform, or reproductive rights...these are the issues that DLC types have caved on over and over again, not just trade and income inequality. It's going to take ALL OF US to hold our chosen representatives accountable.
Of course the alternative is Trump, who wants to shoot protesters in the streets. Our side is not like Trump, we welcome debate and dissent.
