These dumb fucks. What would "too far" even look like, really? Decorating the senate floor with his intestines? Firing the cabinet out of a cannon into the Washington monument? It's hard for me to imagine an unacceptable response to the last 2 years.

MODERATORS
Centrists don't want culture war issues, don't want oversight, don't want foreign policy. They just want kitchen table issues. Except they also don't want government spending or wealth redistribution.
According to them, everything in the country was perfect two years ago, they just want that back. Plus all the culture war, foreign policy, and corruption normalization that Trump's done. That stuff is good too, of at least not bad enough to do something rude like fight against it.
"I know you've had a lot of success with leftist and socialist candidates, but we've got donors to think about!"
“We are going to try to govern, progressives are going to try to make a point,” one Democratic aide working for a centrist member told CNN. “This is not the time to show how progressive we can be. People need to see us fighting.”
These fucking ghouls...
I always heard leftist people saying that this is what the Democrats would do.
Shocked the shit out of me when I got to observe them doing it.
These people have no business being involved in government at any level. If you see a group trying to commit a Holocaust and you're concerned that people might perceive you as too progressive for supporting transgender people, you have clearly decided to be part of the problem.
When in their lives have centrists ever been known for fighting. Sorry, it occurs to me this will need a specifier, fighting the right.
Centrist Democrats
Did you mean worthless corporate shills?
Israeli owned fascist traitors warn the democrats to keep funding genocide, endless war, the attack on the working class, mass surveillance and private concentration camps because that is somehow more reasonable than not doing any of that
"Centrist Democrats" say "oh dear god please don't fuck with our wealth too"
Edit: No. No, this is more of a sign that the DNC was becoming a controlled opposition. The rise of the progressive caucus is not what the oligarchs want.
The voters eho would be upset that you"went too far" didn't and wouldn't vote for you anyway.
For many, that means steering clear of transgender issues and policing reform bills they fear Republicans would weaponize. They also want to avoid left-wing priorities such as ending US support for Israel or abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
They are already weaponizing everything, real and otherwise, you fucking cowards!
"Battle tested" lol centrists are doughboys hiding in the trench making no gains whatsoever. Time for the progressive blitz
Want to know why Democrats have such grabage approval ratings from their own voters, shit like this. Oh and fuck Israel and ICE.
Gotta remember they're still neo liberal conservatives who have to maintain corporate interests.
Do not do ANYTHING the Voters Asked For!
-LITERALLY Democrats!
Centrist democrats can fuck right off
Vote these centrist Democrats out of office.
"Battled-tested"? I mean just say experienced, don't give them more than they've earned. Unless you mean battles where they're cowering in the foxholes and no advancements were made.
Oh they were tested on battle. They failed the test.
Worthless cowards and a philosophy that ushered in and sanctioned fascism. Anyone making the case for centrism should be rejected from the Democratic party.
Abolishing having an army of armed masked thugs roaming our streets beating, killing, and disappearing people is a "left-wing" priority?! Are you fucking kidding me?
Side note: I am so sick of the term "kitchen table"! 🤮 Why is this what they always use to refer to cost-of-living issues? It's so stupid. Besides, how many people actually have kitchens big enough to put a table in? Not me, not people who live in most regular apartments or smaller houses. I guess they can't even imagine that people who don't have a kitchen table exist.
Dems, prosecute illegal acts and deprivation of rights, period. Voters will let you know when you've gone too far.
2028 Democratic Primaries began the moment polls closed.
Time to continue reforming and purifying the Democrats, in continued fulfillment of Bernie's goal.
Out with the stagnant old; in with the new.
We got a bunch of good Dems elected this year and we'll get a bunch more in 2028, replacing more of the useless ones. This is gonna take a few cycles but we're going to change the Democratic Party into something useful.
Several Democrats also called for restraint in the party’s oversight agenda, warning that talk of impeaching President Donald Trump or his Cabinet should not overshadow that focus.
They're not wrong.
Even if you impeach and convict Trump, new President Vance will pardon everybody. Please don't be stupid. You're just going to have to wait two years for this.
Why don't you... release the Epstein files? You don't even have to break the law. Just share what you've seen by "accident". "Oops, I forgot I can't say that we have proof that Trump and Clinton and Dershowitz and Epstein raped kids together on the Lolita Express, I'm sorry."
Frankly, Trump serving the next two years will only hurt Republicans. Look at him.
It will hurt regular people more than Republicans. Republicans will be back in 2 elections
You don't even have to break the law.
Their release is already mandated by law. They're breaking the law by not releasing them.
These fucks and all associated with them have 0 place in party leadership or in steering the party.
They are doing everything they can to claim this victory as their own, and infect the party with their right wing bullshit. We must not allow this.
Here we go again. How many times do we have to do this before people actually learn?
Don't go too hard in standing up for law and order. We would want people to get the wrong impression!
