8. If you are not allowed to criticize your party...

How will the party ever grow?

I am a progressive FDR Democrat. FDR won 4 presidential elections. People loved him. He brought Social Security to America. I will ALWAYS fight for progressive values like Medicare for All, taxing the obscene rich, addressing climate change, ensuring fair and accurate elections, Social Security, unions, clean energy just to name a few.

So-called 'progressive' Democrats like in your examples (e.g. Gabbard) were NEVER progressive otherwise they would never go to the dark side. These people were/are opportunists getting their name and face in the lime light so to speak.

The Democratic Part is made up of every type of political persuasions. Yes, I will criticize 'corporate Democrats' and democrats who won't vote for Medicare for All, or the Manchins' and Sinema's who are traitors to the Dem Party.

And I still don't see the Democratic Party Leadership doing anything to fight the take over of our country.
