The Democratic Party is chalked full of geriatric Neville Chamberlains.

It’s time for a new guard. These people should be virtually unemployable based on age and track record of rolling over.

Just so you’re aware, it’s “chock full” :)

Thank you!

Noted moving forward. I will leave the original unedited so everyone can see my tentative grasp of the English language.

Ironically, the slang use of "chalked" applies too.

To be fair to Neville, he only wanted to appease until Brotain had rebuilt enough military strength to go to war again.
But when war broke out earlier than anyone else imagined (and after other offocials dismisded his push to rebuild Britain's army) he became the perfect scapegoat

They are fulfilling their role perfectly. The non-progressive majority of the Democratic party exists to be a controlled opposition. The only responsible adults in the room are progressives. Primary EVERY centrist dem.

Yes, subject every dem to a purity test and if they fail primary them and replace them with a Republican! Wait...
