Check Out the Ransom List Progressives Had for

Newly elected House progressives recognized as the “Bloc” reportedly walked into Washington with a ransom listing for Hakeem Jeffries in exchange for their votes. Their favourite catchphrases had been all on it.

Medicare-for-All, defunding ICE, and cutting off U.S. help to Israel. Check, examine, and examine.

In what I suppose you would call considerably of a silver lining, however, Axios reviews that Democrats’ 250-plus-seat majority blew up that initial plan in a single day. In other phrases, the slaughter was so in depth and supplied such a cushion for the social gathering that the extremists do not maintain the same sway.

And yes, I do know, there is not a dime’s value of distinction between the radical faction of the left and their more “moderate” counterparts other than presentation to the public. Some Democrats are closet extremists; others run around with a bullhorn promoting it. But they’re all extremists.

As we dissect this Axios report, we’ll just have to play along with their framing.

“Last night was a rebuke of the status quo,” Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL-3) said, calling the outcomes for the far-left bloc “an affirmation and a validation that we are on the right track.”

Ramirez warned that there may be “absolutely no excuse” for House Democrats not to do “the most over the next two years, and as quickly as possible.”

NEW: This is the majority Hakeem Jeffries and centrist House Dems needed. And progressives comprehend it, too. The left’s strategy is “going to look different from what it would have been with a smaller margin,” one incoming House progressive told me. @axios https://t.co/ND6ld3p8wC

The outlet suggests that Jeffries and his allies will not need the backing of extremists as a lot, thanks to their sizable majority.

In actuality, the progressives are main this social gathering and have been holding people like Jeffries hostage for some time. You suppose the next House Speaker is out of the blue going to stand up to them now? After that election?

Please.

But … just in case … they’re already on Plan B — packing the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which one incoming member says might add about 25 new allies.

“That should definitely be part of the game plan,” an incoming Bloc member told the outlet.

NEW: Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), who has launched an open borders invoice to dismantle DHS and abolish ICE, CBP, & Border Patrol reacts to mid phrases: “Across the country, Americans have chosen pro-immigrant, pro-worker, pro-peace, pro-humanity fighters centered on the shared struggles of everyday working people.”

Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal (WA-7), who previously chaired the CPC, said, “We have certainly used our power many times … and we will do that again.”

The group is also recruiting what is understood as “Bernie Dogs” from crimson districts — populist candidates from working-class backgrounds who received crimson districts with help from both progressives and centrists.

Jayapal is optimistic that the group will “be driving an agenda that truly is big and bold.”

Democrat Rep. Jared Huffman (CA-2) added that while it’d take some time, “We’re mostly on the same team here.”

Nobody doubts that. Not one bit.

If the radical wishlist weren’t enough, Democrats are also vowing to examine Trump’s administration and household as they settle into energy. That’s one thing we know they’re on the same web page with. 

The Resistance Party has been consumed with hatred for the man for over a decade now. That will not out of the blue dissipate now that they’ve the energy to do one thing about it.
