John, this happened right after corporate Democrats lost the Virginia Governor’s race: Corporate Democrats started blaming progressives for the GOP victory.
When corporate Democrats lose, they blame progressives. They did it when the House majority shrunk after the 2020 election. They’ll do it at every turn because they will never admit responsibility. Yet, it’s the Democratic establishment’s failure to deliver for the people that weakens the party in elections. Corporate Dems listen to corporate lobbyists instead of the people. This is the problem. NOT progressives advocating for strong transformative policies.
One Virginia corporate Democrat, Rep. Abigail Spanberger, continued her centrism after the centrist Democrat lost the Virginia Governor’s race.
Joe Manchin followed it up by calling America a “center-right” country:
The only way we can fight the Democratic establishment’s smears and its commitment to Wall Street, fossil fuel executives, corporate lobbyists, and health insurance companies is by building our progressive movement.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
