Jeffries' response would make sense if they were telling him to support Medicare for All or whatever part of the progressive policy agenda. Except they aren't. They're telling him to oppose republicans.

In what world is "oppose republicans" equal to "extreme left" ? The complacency from some parts of our leadership and their internal allies is utterly baffling at times. Right now I don't care about progressive vs moderate. We need leadership that wants to do their job and protect our country and its people as best they can. Seeking comity with their republican colleagues — who will never, ever, ever return the favor — is a proven failed strategy and they need to dig their heads out of the sand and act accordingly. There are people in the party of all ideological stripes that can do this right.
Jeffries' language use comes across as tailor made to make people see the group he speaks of as their enemy. Except that group is a major part of his base. We can see the results in the replies right here; democrats going into an insulting intraparty ideological slugfest.
Lynch is actually the ideal candidate to primary from the Left. District Vote share of 70%, in office for 20+ years, 70+ years old. I think the time is right to send him back home.
I'm sure people said the same thing about a bartender taking on the Speaker in waiting. I think that's been a huge upgrade and whoever takes on Lynch would be too.

I dont disagree with this, but I think Lynch will easily win that primary; we shall see

Leadership doesn’t want anyone tampering with their strategy that has brought us Republican control of the White House and both houses of congress.
this is hyperbole; certainly our strategy has been flawed(I have argued your point on this site from the start); but your post is overboard imo
