It is.
This is why it is hilarious and sad how some dumb progressives on here are cheering this on. If Ryan and Moulton get their way, Democrats will be cutting deals with R's like it is 2001. If that happens, I don't want to hear from these people anymore.
This is a generational thing more than a ideological one.
Really? Then why are they propping up a 66 year old?
I think it's about growing up with the same person in power rather than age (same with Bernie and Hillary).
The young progressive attitude toward Pelosi on here is generational, but you're right that the actual revolt in Congress is led by moderates
This would be fine and dandy if the people potentially replacing Pelosi were young progressives. But they aren't. It is just incredibly dumb for any progressive to cheer this on. Again, if Moulton and Ryan are successful, then we are going right back to 2001 and that would be a disaster.
Luckily, most progressive in congress are smarter then the some of the dopes on here and realize that they would be shooting themselves in the foot by signing on to this nonsense.
I do think you're right in that it's important to distinguish between progressives in Congress and progressives on Atlas lol Atlas users (of any ideological stripe) aren't exactly known for their critical thinking skills lol
But I do think a lot of the progressives here on Atlas are very young (or seem to be. Most seem to identify as Millennials or Generation Z) and are getting excited over the potential change in leadership (something they've never experienced/weren't old enough to experience) and aren't aware of the ramifications.
I'm Gen Z. I'm also a progressive. I also strongly support Pelosi, who is our best bet for obstructing the hell out of this White House, not a faux progressive, whose record, comments, and background are anything but.
