I’m talking about Congress. Next November is our next chance at stopping Trump.

Can a party still promoting "let me talk about my Glock so some Republicans might vote for me" Harris have any chance of purging the centrists?

I know I'm being super pessimistic and I hope you are right and would love to be wrong. The trajectory of Kamala's 2024 campaign pretty much destroyed any notion I had that Dems as a party will ever take any other course but just left of R enough to show daylight between the two. Every time R moves right D just follows.

They’re doing more than making noise on the floor. Democrats voted and spoke out against Trump’s cabinet nominations, forced a 15-day vote against Trump’s executive order, confirmed Biden’s pending judicial appointments when Republican attendance is low, and are the ones bringing these cases to the courts.

With that being said, there are still many appeasement centrists that wouldn’t speak out if you lit them on fire. They’re the ones that need to get replaced with youthful progressives who will drive change, but ultimately that will be up to us at the polls.

Well I appreciate the reminder that things are actually happening in many cases, I'll try slightly harder to keep my pessimism in check! 🙂
