Rep. Dean Phillips Hopes Harris-Walz Put Bipartisanship on Their Platform

Yep, the Phillips that tried to primary Biden. Don't know about you, but I'm sick of being bipartisan-ed. It always seems mean moving to the right to make things palpable for a couple of GOPs whose votes they probably didn't need anyway. A pox on the GOP and all who sail on them!

BTW, NTD is "New Tang Dynasty," a news service of Falun Gong via their Epoch Times empire. Real futuristic name they got there (Tang Dynasty = 618 to 907 C.E.). One might ask WTF Phillips is doing talking to them, but you probably have your suspicions as I have mine. I wonder, is Phillips making a bid to lead the Blue Dog Caucus next term, or perhaps the "problem solvers?"

Why should a party document suggest that we would be willing to trade our principles to make a bunch of Jan 6er fans happy?

. . .get things done that reflect fundamental American values like compassion, community, economic and social justice reforms like empowering all workers to organize to advance their own interests, protecting our right to vote, providing access to quality healthcare as a human right, protecting and expanding social safety nets, treasuring our natural resources, and combating climate change, for starters.
