He is saying to the country, to Democrats, there is no consensus on moving the party left, we will be admonished severely if we do, denounced as communists, so you're going to have to prove something at the voting booth to make this happen because I'm not signing off on it.

Look on the bright side. The right is spent, it has shot its load with TFG, there is no upside for the right except voter suppression and gerrymandering both of which are falsely derived power. Unsustainable. Who wants to enact legislation, then get booted from office, and have it all repealed?

So Democrats have work to do.
