In reply to the discussion: House Democrats fume at David Hogg's plan to oust lawmakers [View all]DJ Synikus Makisimus
(1,438 posts)Near as I can tell, what unites Democrats these days is their opposition to Trump. The stand against, they don't stand for, but many are all too willing to work together with their friends across the aisle to prevent anything progressive from even being heard in the House. That, if you remember, is how Biden's "Build Back Better" campaign "promises" died. I'm not sure Hogg is completely onto the notion yet, but he'll probably get there if he's as aware (woke) as I suspect; especially given the great opposition to his rather minor (in the great scheme of things) from the far right of the Democratic Party. Let's face it, AIPAC can probably beat him in fundraising exponentially, and they're hardly alone on the Democratc Party's right.
It's mostly a problem of only being allowed to have two viable parties in freedumbland that forces progressives and socialists to live under the command of accommodationists, usually called "moderates" in the corporate media, and that's unlikely to change before humans go extinct from climate change.
