(92,607 posts)...why present it as one?
There's no central dictatorship, and if you have an interest or concern that isn't supported by the majority in our party you should appreciate that.
The way it's presented by critics as Schumer or Jeffries as some sort of latter-day mob bosses is as absurd as it is a distortion of their role as the choice of the majority of the legislators there. They aren't self-appointed.
And I can't be the only one wondering why the Dems who didn't vote for this are being lumped into this screed against 'Democrats' and DUers, and the ones who didn't not mentioned at all.
How do people expect for the right votes to become the popular ones if all that's done is point to the things we object like we're in some sort of political straightjacket, and acting like criticizing the party as a monolith is the most genius move of genius political moves.
Tell us what you're for, what you support about what Democrats are doing. Highlight those things that you think are being done right by our legislators, along with these criticisms of what you don't want.
Look for them and post them. They exist.
