CBC pushes back on Slotkin's call for 'new leadership' among Democrats

[QueerDuck]

37. You can't lead from the minority.

The problem with telling half the party to "shut up" right before an election is that it is a guaranteed recipe for losing.

If you want to talk about leadership, the absolute first rule of political leadership is actually winning the majority. If Democrats lose the House because of eleventh-hour factional infighting, no one is leading anything and nobody has a gavel.

The CBC is focused on the immediate, practical reality of winning a majority so the party can actually pass legislation. Litigating primary grievances and purity tests on a national stage right now only helps the opposition... and secures our position as the out-of-power minority party. Which do you prefer?

Secure the power first, then worry about the internal debates.
