@clintonbaird5465 Vote for a nice Green party candidate, like Kyrsten Sinema was, or an independent, like Joe Lieberman was. Third party, and non party, candidates can never be corrupted! Their souls are pure!

Let me guess ... a Dore knob.

@railroadtrash09 AOC, literally, just used her platform and PAC to back 20 other pro-M4A progressives, helped remove a few more corporate Dems from office, and helped add a few more progressives to congress. If that's called backing corporate Dems, I'm all for it.

@strongbone9471 Same thing. Dore benefits the far right.

@railroadtrash09 Dore knobs aren't a tribe. They're a cult.

@hangukhiphop The math still doesn't hold up. There are zero extra votes to the left of progressives, if they start losing votes on the right end of the party. There is the entire Republican party to the right of conservative Dems, to try and bring in votes from, if they lose progressive votes. Bills can be passed without progressives, but not without the likes of Manchin. A standoff would most likely push a bill to the right, not the left.

@hangukhiphop Corporate Dems telling AOC and the squad to get off Manchin's and Sinema's cases, already tells you which end would get the most pressure to move, in a purely interparty standoff. There are actually bills, people, and motions, being passed, confirmed, and agreed to, with Republican votes every day. They just make a big show about certain things.

@aarondickson1898 Dems don't equate to progressives, and Dems ditched the filibuster on lower courts, which they haven't really complained about all that much. Republicans ditched the filibuster on the Supreme Court, themselves. So, what "backfire" are you talking about?
2
@aarondickson1898 The Republicans ditching the filibuster on the Supreme Court is a "backfire" on Democrats, how? That makes no sense.
2
@aarondickson1898 Again, Democrats didn't end the filibuster for the Supreme Court, dumb dumb. It was Republicans who, in 2017, ditched the filibuster for the Supreme Court. Try to make sense.

@aarondickson1898 Rewrite what? Democrats, objectively, didn't remove the Supreme Court filibuster, dumb dumb. Republicans did it, in 2017.
