No longer are they trying to conceal it. They are open and proud of the fact.

We need fighters on the front line.

We don't need mushy moderates or the DLC'ers, except in support positions. They are not mean enough or smart enough to lead in this struggle.

We need fire-breathing populists and progressives that understand the threat. It's time for them to take over the Democratic Party. Otherwise, we will soon have no Party worthy of the name.

Republicans aim to destroy everything we have worked and fought for. If there are no taxes and no borrowing, government programs disappear. People suffer. We need to understand the seriousness of this battle.
