Go figure that some at-risk House Democrats might not see the value in repeatedly slamming their heads into brick walls. Facing an existential threat in the upcoming midterms, moderates in the caucus want to show a few victories to the voters in their swing districts, the Washington Post reports.
At the very least, they’d like their caucus to stop obsessing over their defeats:
House Democrats running for reelection in competitive districts, facing increasingly long odds of surviving a potential Republican wave, have confronted party leaders in recent days with demands for a new midterm strategy. …
The tension was surfaced

Obviously. the mod dims sense the dim party is circling the drain and is about to disappear comes the November mid-terms.

Also expected. Dims knew that the longer this drags on, the more support will fall away as the midterms approach and those in vulnerable districts hear it loud and clear from their voters.

Moderate Stalinists? Mensheviks? Haven't been any moderate Democrats since Henry Jackson.

Bills to be buried in very shallow graves. Easier to exhume them in zombified form in the next slimy progressive scheme.

How don't see how demosluts can change to a more moderate direction when the media is all in promoting the leftists and their agenda. What kind of coverage will a moderate agenda get from the media, and what are the moderate demosluts going to call moderate?

Moderate Democrats? You mean the same Dems that voted to impeach Trump after he was a citizen? The same Democrats that voted for trillions in debt? The same Democrats that voted for Built Better Bolshevism? The same Democrats that voted for the Voter Fraud bill? What is moderated about one single Democrat in the House. Based on votes, there isn't anything close to a moderate. But a bunch of hard cord fascist that have the good sense not to draw attention to their real voting record is in a abundance.

'Moderate Democrat' is an oxymoron in this country now. They voted lockstep with Brandon's hard-left, radical agenda and now want to walk those votes back?

Just call the vote and vote against it. Put up or shut up.

Big whoop. These "moderate Democrats" all voted for the 2 sham impeachments, the Pelosi with hunt committee, the vote fraud bill, BBB boondoggle, and all that already.
Now they're saying, well, maybe we should pull back.
I can read this like Rush used to say like the stitches on a fast ball. It's election time and we need to start acting responsible and moderate so that the rubes back home won't think we're bonkers like Pelosi. Omar, Schaffer, Seawall, and Tlaib.
They do this every two years. Once they get re-elected and cross the DC beltway, they do what their deep state masters tell them to do.

Both of those bills are dead.
Saying that as a Dem in the House you didn't want them reminds me of Pee Wee Herman taking a spill off his bike and then saying "I meant to do that."

They're only moderates until they're re-elected, then it's right back to backing Nasty P's every wish!

I got an email from my Dem congressman boasting of how hard he's worked for me to change the climate in DC, reaching numerous times across the aisle ... When in reality, he's voted with Pelosi 97% of the time.

Don't know what these democrat "moderates" are worried about. None of the red states have done much to stem the cheating that went on in 2020 and several of the blue states have passed legislation codifying much of the procedures that led to the cheating.

This will draw some flak here, but should be considered. There was a time when Democrats, at least most citizens who considered themselves such, believed in our Constitutional Republic. There are still many among the electorate, especially in "fly-over" country that still believe in the concept of personal liberty, or more formally God-given or Natural Rights.
Any "real" Democrat, as opposed to openly Socialist mob now dedicated to nullifying the Constitution, should seriously voting for conservatives in the upcoming election. If conservative (Non-RINO) Republican and independents are elected, real Democrats will still be able to try to vote fellow "real" Democrats into office in future elections.
Furthermore, if conservatives do succeed in 2022, thereby preserving the chance for a fair election in 2024, we owe it to ourselves, our fellow citizens (including "real" Democrats) and most importantly the generations of Americans yet unborn to wake up, get involved and help save our nation.
