Why are they "moderates"?

[kentuck]

Why are the 7 Democrats in the Gang of 14 considered "moderates"? Because they think they know more than everyone else. They are the "reasonable" ones. Everybody else is a "radical" or "leftist". Only they know what is best for the Party. Only they can get along with the Republicans. They are the "sensible center". Or so they think.

In reality, they are a bunch of dumbasses. To think they can compromise with these radical Repubs in the Senate is the height of folly. They are not "moderates". They are foolish people that do not understand the gravity of their position or their decisions. They should be replaced. Each and everyone. If they cannot stick together on such a momentous decision as this, then they cannot be trusted to keep any of our necks out of the noose.

1. They remind me of the young lady of Niger

who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They came back from the ride with the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

These "moderates" think they will get somewhere by playing nice with the repukes. They will simply be devoured by the radical repuke agenda, I think.

2. Yes they are dumb, deluded or in denial

WE are in the fight of our lives for this country and the Democratic party needs to have it's civil war. Enough. I will not vote for those that don't fight for me when my liberties are being ended. I'll find someone that will fight instead. I think that's what you do when you are threatened.

3. They're also completely out of touch with the base. n/t

4. You are correct,

they are not moderates. They are the right, just not as socially rightwing as their new allegiance.
