Democratic elites (DINOs) act as though progressives are trying to hijack the Democratic Party…but the opposite is true. *They* highjacked the party. The progressive vision is unequivoical advocacy for the working people of the United States - the traditional Rooseveltian vision of the Democratic Party. Some would consider Franklin Roosevelt too much of a lefty radical to even be let into the party today! So when a Democratic elite says to a progressive, “Who let you in?” - just say to them, “Who let YOU in?!”

Democrats are just the Republican Party of the 1980s. They have moved right every year of my life and they are continuing the rightward march. No one with a centrist view (actual humans - not DC "centrists") or remotely left view has a place in the Democratic Party.

If you read this tweet & think that she meant we should bring back the bad things FDR did, you are a huge part of what’s wrong with political discourse in the US. Go outside & touch grass.

Some of Roosevelt's conservative *opponents*, by today's standards, would be considered radical leftists! Republicans in the 30s platformed on collective bargaining to compete with FDR's progressive campaigning.
