Rep. Dean Phillips Hopes Harris-Walz Put Bipartisanship on Their Platform

https://www.ntd.com/rep-dean-phillips-hopes-harris-walz-put-bipartisanship-on-their-platform_1012154.html

Yep, the Phillips that tried to primary Biden. Don't know about you, but I'm sick of being bipartisan-ed. It always seems mean moving to the right to make things palpable for a couple of GOPs whose votes they probably didn't need anyway. A pox on the GOP and all who sail on them!

BTW, NTD is "New Tang Dynasty," a news service of Falun Gong via their Epoch Times empire. Real futuristic name they got there (Tang Dynasty = 618 to 907 C.E.). One might ask WTF Phillips is doing talking to them, but you probably have your suspicions as I have mine. I wonder, is Phillips making a bid to lead the Blue Dog Caucus next term, or perhaps the "problem solvers?"

Why should a party document suggest that we would be willing to trade our principles to make a bunch of Jan 6er fans happy?
