The Democratic party is a big tent

The Democratic party is a big tent

We need everybody from the center left on out to take our country back. There should be room in our party for a Conor Lamb and an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

I rather have a Democrat that votes with the party ninety percent of the time than a Republican who votes with his or her party ninety percent of the time.

that effort.

Nor am I particularly thrilled about being such a big tent that big money feels just as at home supporting our candidates. I want what "voting with us" means to always be a position I'm proud of us taking.
