But literally breaking in and trying to kill us with their hands and rope for hanging and guns and bombs is fine though, why can't you be more like those guys? We like those guys. It's just the communism that upsets us.

This strategy would mean even more work for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tamp down divisions and keep his caucus unified come 2027.

Gonna be difficult while simultaneously receiving an Eiffel Tower from AIPAC and the Jewish Majority group.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to literally fight against the representatives that your constituents VOTED IN. Jesus its like Democrats are addicted to failure.

Please for the love of all that is holy vote out all this centrist simpletons who sit around with their dicks in their hands.

Facing perhaps the most dangerous presidential administration in history and already planning on infighting.. what the hell..

There's long been pressure that people that are a bit more left need to be strategically minded and work with what is there rather than get pissy because the candidates aren't perfect. Well that cuts both ways, these are the candidates the people want and you need to work with them for the common good.

It’s a war they will lose, because the people won’t vote to keep them in office when they have infinitely better alternatives who finally know they can win.

Guys the article clearly says Jeffries will have to work harder so i stopped reading knowing full well he's incapable of hard work.

Against the Republicans, right?

The war they fight won't be at the ballot box. It will be well before the voters are ever given a choice. They will use their monopoly on the election process to ensure that the status quo establishment dems are the only ones that are allowed to run. They will work with the donor's to ensure that even if a primary occurs there are no funds available for the challengers. Finally if these upstarts are actually able to get to a general election, they will talk about the need for bipartisanship and push the virtues of cutting spending while fomenting distrust in society.

Do politicians not realize that this is the will of the people? If people wanted centrist leaders, they'd vote for centrist leaders. Obviously centrist leaders aren't doing the job so they want somebody who will. And who will fucking do something.

So when they say they're going to war with people who are more liberal leaning than them, they're literally going to war with their constituents.

Yeah, I’m fully convinced; “centrist democrats” are on the GOP payroll. Getting rid of these fucks will probably be more impactful than getting rid of the GOP. Kind of hard to vote for an opposition to the Republicans that has absolutely no interest in, you know, opposing.

I'll be very interested to see them wage this "war" because they've been steadily losing ground against progressives for quite a while now. The fact that they had to freeze out Bernie instead of successfully smearing him was a death knell for the corporate power bloc.

Original comment

Just join the GOP. I know you want to.

I'd say the people who want their voters to be able to have food and housing are centrist. The other guys are just slightly less far right than the Trumpers.

Now Americans are learning the difference between left and liberal.

As a HIGHLY PAID Democratic Strategist the LAST thing I would Advise them to Do is ACCEPT the ONLY People in their Party CAPABLE of Winning an Election! We MUST fight Republicans! Trump! People who want to HELP Americans!

On the bright side, centrists wont be saying "vote blue no matter who" anymore.

These cucks couldn't plot a network sitcom. I say bring it bitches and then if they cheat to win again, we go to the next democracy-protecting box.

This is going to mean a red wave.

I better never hear "vOtE bLuE nO mAtTeR wHo" come out of any shit-libs mouth ever again.

Hopefully there will be a war in the party. The people must oust every centrist and corporate shill and replace with people who want actual change.

The status quo has degraded and this massive corruption and gap between the wealthy and the majority of us is only growing more extreme.

Supposedly the people have the power. We need action now. Let the Dems be scared. Fuck them all. Primary them out and retake the power we are entitled.

How dare the voters exercise their duty to the Republic by electing people who they believe represent them! Don't they understand that ITS OUR TURN?!!?! we DESERVE to be enriching ourselves with insider trading while the working man starves! It's for the good of EVERYONE*!!

I hate when the term centerist is used for right wing folk. Im left of center if center was where it should be.

cool, what are the centrists fighting for exactly? Does anyone know?
