A Nazi sit down at a table with 10 others, and nobody leaves. How many Nazis are now sat at the table?
The Democrats should whip their members harder instead of giving members ‘outs’ that makes the party as whole look uncommitted - Pelosi managed to do it for years, even with those ‘pesky progressives’.
Use the billion dollars of DNC leverage and lean on them - just like Elon’s unlimited money has openly threatened to primary anyone “disloyal” on the right.
Hardly. How about letting ‘moderate’ reactionaries stay in your club?
Manchin wasn’t ejected from the caucus despite his numerous blocking votes and hostage holding, but they did cut off party fund disbursements
. Never kicked out of the party, despite him leaning into Trump.
Manchin glazing Trump at his 2024 inauguration speaks words, even without his problematic voting record on immigration, the border wall, or routinely blocking the Democratic agenda - to me runs beyond the ‘sensible silent majority’ centrism tropes, and veers to bedfellows of fascism:
I also extend my congratulations to [President Trump on his victory. He is our President, and I am committed to supporting him in moving this country forward…
As we reflect on this election, one lesson stands out clearly: The candidate who appeals to the sensible majority of Americans – the center – wins… In this 2024 election, Trump was again the candidate better able to connect with the concerns of the sensible majority – prioritizing the economy, securing our borders, and responding to the core needs of working Americans.
Because a party that is mostly against fascism is better than none that are at all? Which I should not to have to say.

Your definition of sitting at the table is “being in the same building.”

Sinema wasn’t ejected, but they did cut her off party funds after 2019. But never threw her out of the party either.
First of all, if you consider Manchin and Sinema to be fascists, that’s your issue.
Second of all, they didn’t give them the boot because that would cost them control of the Senate, which, however, tenuous, still matters.
