Pelosi capitulates on debt ceiling

From this piece:

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may have helped temporarily avert a looming fiscal crisis on Monday by striking a budget deal with the Trump administration, but progressives warned the agreement hands Republicans power to kneecap the next president's agenda by suspending the debt ceiling until after the 2020 elections. [...] Former congressional staffers and other critics said that by agreeing to suspend the debt ceiling until 2021, Pelosi gave Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) the ability to extract massive spending cuts and other concessions from a Democratic president in exchange for raising the debt limit."

Thing is, Pelosi and the corporate Dems are wrong about winning elections. Thinking centrist positions win has proven time and again to be wrong. What motivates the progressive Dem base is having the guts to promote progressive positions that have proven by repeated polls to win the majority of approval. The Pelosi Squad (The Squat) are Demosaurs and are hurting not only our chance of winning elections but democracy itself. She and her squandering Squat need to be replaced ASAP with more like The Squad.
