        Okay so you’re dense. What’s the point of democrats that vote like republicans? Stop trying to make the party far right. Expell those democrats from the party.

          Ideological purity tests are not something we can afford if we are going to try and take majority control and actually progress a sane agenda. We would lose this vote even if 100% of Dems vote against it.

            Moderates. Are. Complicit.

            The possibility of majority control does not exist within today’s democratic party - they exist to lose.

              There is no way to get a majority without including moderates. Never has been, never will be. (At least until we we get rid of FPTP voting which will only happen through Democrats).

                The only thing that’s gonna happen with Democrats is a continued shift to the right. If we overlaid today’s political scale with 1980 Democrats would be to the FAR right of Reagan

                  Ah yes, 1980s Republicans were famous for their support of gay marriage and their compassionate take on the AIDS epidemic.

                  Do you people even think about these bogus claims before you repeat them?
