Democrats are stifling their liberal wing’s biggest ideas. Via FiveThirtyEight:
the fact that Democrats initially came up with the resolution as a way to chastise Omar.
In all, the newly elected progressive members have made a lot of news but less legislative impact — a fact not lost on the members themselves. “They put us in photos when they want to show our party is diverse,” Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, one of the liberal new members,. “However, when we ask to be at the table, or speak up about issues that impact who we are, what we fight for & why we ran in the first place, we are ignored. To truly honor our diversity is to never silence us.”
I don’t want to overstate my thesis — Democrats have been in control of the House for only about four months, and these dynamics could shift. Also, I’m not saying that the progressives aren’t havingimpact. On the Omar resolution, the progressives got a partial win — they basically forced party leadership toAnd it’s not surprising that massive policy proposals like the Green New Deal and Medicare for all aren’t advancing.
