Dem Strategist: Our Party Can Be a Big Tent, But There Has To Be a Floor with These Democratic Socialists

‘And a reminder to everyone: DSA has not had to do the work in hard districts’

EXCERPT:

EGBEWOLE: “Look, we can stick to the line that the Democratic Party is a big tent, but it can't be a big tent that doesn't have a floor. There has to be a line that's drawn at some point. We really have to make sure that we let the American people know that certain statements, especially what Melat said about 9/11, about the anti-Semitic attack that happened in Boulder, are unacceptable. And people shouldn't feel beholden to having to be the first line of defense for a lot of these outrageous statements that are really going to push off a lot of the independents and mainstream voters that we need, especially in these swing and purple districts.”
