Wrong. The statement I made that the GOP would run Reagan out of the party if he was alive today.
The GOP is run by the extreme conservative faction of the party
That isn't the case in the democratic party...the extreme progressive wing of the party does not control the leadership
How much of Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ilhan Omar, etc plans made it into the Inflation Reduction Act?
How many of those progressives actually hold leadership positions in the party? Jayapal?
Was Manchin run out of the party for opposing Biden?
No, The WH worked with him after Build Back Better failed.
Was Sinema run out of the party after opposing Biden?
No. She was included in the lead in the Infrastructure negotiations
Compare that to Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger and tell me both parties are the same.
And? That's not what were talking about here.
We're discussing whether or not a party leader can even remain in the party if they don't follow the wishes of the most extreme members of their own party.
The GOP has shown that is not the case
Were discussing if parties even allow their own members to publicly express the desire to "compromise"...
Democrats? Yes.
Republicans? No.
That doesn't mean democrats weren't pissed at Sinema or Manchin but they weren't stripped of their cmte. assignments, censured, and kicked out of the party during the term like Cheney & Kinzinger
