Ever since a DSA member won the election of mayor of NYC the Dems have been waging a war against what some call the left wing of the party.

The GOP and its ilk are called the winners socialists, Marxists, Communists and those are the polite names…..the MAGA twats are trying desperately to side line the progressives in the Democratic Party.

Then the corporate Dems are doing the same thing only are being a bit more polite…..people like Carville, Plouf, Khanna, Schumer, Fetterman, by all accounts an idiot, even overpaid sports casters get into the fray like Stephen Smith, who needs to stick to calling soccer games and leave the politics to others….these twats are joining the fight against the tide of progressive candidates…..accusing them of all sorts of things…..dirt bags, factionalist, etc etc….

This is weird…..

Pundits close to the Democratic establishment have a new term to fling at the left-wing insurgents they want to disappear: “factionalism.”

Matthew Yglesias now constantly attacks socialists and their leading figures on the basis that they believe in “factionalism and anty-partyism,” or have “a whole factional project,” “factional talking point[s],” a “passion for factionalism.” At first, he took up this line over the Graham Platner candidacy, but now Yglesias uses it to refer to any attempt by the Left to replace establishment-friendly incumbents by beating them in primary races.

Center for American Progress President and CEO Neera Tanden agreed. Platner should have been solely attacking his Republican opponent, “not attacking Dems in factional fights,” she tweeted. Socialists had to be stopped from “giving away the Michigan Senate seat for factional reasons the way they tried (and likely succeeded in) giving away the Maine seat,” warned former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum.

Even the cryptocurrency industry has gotten in on the act, with crypto investment firm executive and former Securities and Exchange Commission official Justin Slaughter adding his voice to the chorus warning that the Platner scandal was the doing of “a coherent and focused faction” more interested in remaking the Democratic Party than beating Donald Trump.

…

As one example, recall that to stop Bernie Sanders from winning the nomination in 2020, they coalesced around a candidate, Joe Biden, who they had openly acknowledged was cognitively unfit and whom they had little faith in. As we found out last year, Biden was so out of it, when they filmed him interacting with ordinary voters for that year’s Democratic convention, those who saw the footage were alarmed and convinced he couldn’t serve, and it required “creative” editing to salvage.

In other words, the factionalism-driven election disaster that party centrists are now accusing the Left of trying to engineer is exactly what they already did, risking handing the White House to Trump a second time because they were so desperate to stop Sanders. As Biden’s own adviser acknowledged, that this didn’t happen was only thanks to pure dumb luck, after a global pandemic meant Biden didn’t have to campaign or be regularly seen in public. Self-defeating “factionalism” is alive and well in the Democratic Party — but it’s coming from the establishment side.

Dems are trying hard to squash the up and coming candidates….why?

They are fighting hard….so does that mean these corporate Dems are against Healthcare, Green New Deal, Democracy for all, end the run away war machine, there is more?

If so then someone please let me know what are these cowards trying to accomplish?

Apparently it is not to make life better for the people of this nation….then what?

Personally I have never trusted centrists….they pretend that bi-partisanship is their goal but never seem to find the handle.

I will take a progressive any day over some corporate funded Democrat hands down.

Any thoughts?
