Not much anymore. Of the new blood in the Democratic Party, many are young progressives. They are hated by the RWNJs, the congressional Republicans, and the Old Guard Democrats.The Democrats, except for the progressives opposed to war, do and say whatever pleases their wealthy political contributors. The compliant Democrats haven't had an original idea in decades. Any positive legislation they propose must first be guaranteed to fall short in the votes needed to pass.So, you're against average Americans receiving help from the government, but OK if the billionaires steal trillions.The RWNJs are blind to one very important fact about taking money from someone else. Those multi-trillions-of-dollars Congress borrows to feed the billionaires' greed is coming out of the pockets of those yet unborn.
It seems the money of the unborn is open to anyone who can steal it by the RWNJs' reckoning.
The same with our wars.
What the he11 does that have to do with the billionaires stealing money from those not yet born?
.
Bankrupting the future is wrong in all forms. It's not OK to just be against some of it.
RWNJ thinking following the exact course laid out by the Republicans' five decades of brainwashing. The next thing you'll be saying is you're a libertarian.
.
That's a sad response because you won't condemn the Democrats support of war in the same way you condemn Republicans.
The long-serving Democrats much prefer to be the helpless minority party. so they needn't explain themselves to their constituents with anything more than "they didn't have the votes."
.
The argument a couple of us already made. There is very little difference in the majority of the two parties.
These young progressives are fighting the status quo and rocking a boat the Republican Party, in service to the ruling billionaire class, spent decades building. All average Americans should appreciate their efforts. But the GOP need only whisper the word "socialism" and the RWNJs and most centrists start running in circles, frantically shouting "the sky is falling," and the status quo settles quietly back into place.

There are a few but the facts that Pelosi can hold her position shows they are still few. Twice now Pelosi has been speaker and twice the Democrats have lost seats but, meh, give her another shot.
