    Jeet Heer Retweeted POLITICO

    The reason I don't take this "Dems are moving too far to the left" narrative seriously is that the congressional Democratic leadership, who are the ones setting policy, can be relied on to do nothing.https://twitter.com/politico/status/1173754317557370880 …

    Senior Democrats are moving quickly to snuff out calls to impeach Brett Kavanaugh, arguing those tactics are unrealistic and politically harmful https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/16/democrats-brett-kavanaugh-impeachment-calls-1499444 …

        It’s ridiculous. We still have a fight in our own party.

        Committing perjury in defense of sexual assault should be politically harmful

        It’s pretty simple. The grass roots activist left and the online left have moved WAY left but the Democratic house leadership are still inhabiting the Obama space.

        In fact, it's the only thing that can be relied on for.

        So true. It’s been so disillusioning to see how little House Dem Leadership will do with the power they have. They are pathetic.

        Not an ideological but a tactical decision That doesnt mean its smart but they want to keep the focus on policies and Trump

        Like @mattyglesias often points out, though, this may be the worst of both worlds. Radical rhetoric turns off moderates, and all talk but no action turns off activists.
