Jayapal is a liberal Democrat who builds coalitions and lifts others up. AOC could take a lesson from her on how to carve out her role on a strong team rather than throwing firebombs into the huddle.

Pramila doesn't attack the Dem party like some of Bernie's supporters tho. She's been going about her job without seeking to elevate herself or "take over" the party.
-
The Democratic Party is broken, it needs taking over. Stop being an apologist for a party that abandoned marginalised communities for corporations.
-
Eh, sorry, I'd rather work to fix what's wrong from the inside than go on some weird wannabe BDSM binge demanding people bend the knee to you.
-
That’s literally what progressives are doing, that’s why they’re running as *democrats*. You seem unhinged in your vendetta against progressives than actually making the Democratic Party better.
-
"unhinged" lol like you're going to pretend there isn't a contingent who spends most of their time attacking dems than Rs? Pramila's working from the inside to improve the party. And I love that AOC is willing to proudly call herself a democrat, unlike some people.
-
What I can't understand is this fetishization of "Berniecrats" above all as if Berniecrats are the only suitable candidates.
-
You’re the only one using the term “berniecrats” or mentioning Bernie. You’re obsessed. People who don’t take corporate pac money should be praised for taking a positioned stance against that which has allowed the NRA and others to poison American democracy.
-
Ah, but that's the point. There are plenty of democrats who eschew corporate money, or support the vast majority of the self-described progressive agenda. But quite often, that's not enough for your wing unless Bernie backs them. Kinda weird tbh.

@RepJayapal is my own representative, and I couldn't be prouder of all she's doing both locally and nationally. I spent a morning with@RashidaTlaib in Detroit in 2012 for a book I was writing. She's fantastic - tough and fearless.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Its funny that people like axel15 come here and display a distinct lack of knowledge on how basic politics work,jaypal is PART of the bernie wing, she joined rank with the justice denocrats who is part of that insurgent wing to take over the party-
-
-too turn it into a party that wins, a party that isnt made up of former republican bluedogs or thirdway who lose 1000 local/state/national seats in 8 fucking years. A party which ACTUALLY fights for not just the heart and soul of the party,but the goddamn people,not corporations
