Nothing wrong with being a Blue Dog Democrat

[NYCButterfinger]

Not every area is going to elect a Paul Wellstone or a Bernie Sanders or a Elizabeth Warren or a AOC.

You are going to see a Manchin, a Sinema, a Henry Cuellar in certain areas.

Cuellar, Manchin are pro-Social Security, etc.

Obama had to negotiate with Blue Dog Democrats to get stuff done from 2009-2015.

1. You mean Obama tried to work with blue dog democrats and they spat in his face.

4. That's really what it came down to...

Blue Dogs forced Obama to settle on a watered-down stimulus and a watered-down healthcare plan – which played a large part in handing the House back to the Republicans in the next election.

2. Blue dogs are left to negotiate on 2 sides. Better to have them than not, for sure

3. There is something wrong with them if they vote with Republicans on important issues.

As long as they vote with us when it matters they’re valuable members of the team.

5. Any "blue dog" that votes to confirm Trump's next nominee...

...should be tossed from the Party.

9. Absolutely. I am truly tired of having my arm twisted.

If you have to question who you vote for this time, you ain’t a Democrat!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

6. You just can't always trust them!

7. Yep, a Blue Dog is a blue vote most of the time.

That's infinitely better than none of the time.

8. Okay, what is a Blue Dog Democrat?

I have heard the expression before but did not understand it and at the time was too embarrassed to ask.

13. Thank you. nt.

10. "Pro-Social Security" is a pretty low bar

[Etherealoc1]

11. Not again

Blue dogs, Blue Democratics screwed us the last time. Against President Obama who helped usher them in.
In fighting and gridlock with our own damn selves.
Now consulting with Republicans against Nancy Pelosi.
Praying that we gain enough seats that we can forge ahead and not alow them to sabotage our efforts again.
Voters are literally risking their lives to get the orange one out. I will hate for their efforts to only be squandered by these Blue Democrats for the sake of their self preservation.
