    I was aware of Al Green being removed and his stand was exceptional. It is the other six that the meme implies exist that aren’t ringing a bell.

    If they are mentioned in that article then I’m blind or misreading.

      I’m going to assume due to their recent presence in the news that AOC and Bernie are in that group of 7. Maybe Whitehouse too?

      Gov of Maine, Illinois, Colorado and California are not part of congress, but they also have not been complicit.

        Tbh, different motives, at least in regards to Gavin (who I naturally keep an eye on at he’s my gov’ner). He’s clearly hoping to run for President and I guess he would prefer there still to be elections to do so in four years. He’s not too be lumped in with genuine progressives, though.

          Yeah, fox makes him seem a lot cooler than he is. He’s, like, the definition of a shitlib, and I’m saying that as someone who isn’t even a tankie.

        A lot more than six people were holding signs. Nearly the entire Democrat side was last night. The post implies an earlier event.
