What's this?

That makes no sense. The squad is four congressional reps

Who do in fact wield little real influence, except in their ability to get a lot of attention from the right side of the MSM. So, the progressive left of the dem party sits on…it’s left extreme. They didn’t stop the infrastructure plan from passing and did not get BBB through, and that evil bogeyman known as the Green New Deal is nothing but a general liberal concept, far from a legislative proposal, that does to the right roughly what “CRT” does to it.

They’re clamps by which the right drags it’s gullible cult around mindlessly by the short hairs. The repub party no longer has a rwnj extreme. It is the rwnj extreme. The outliers are the main streamers like Kinzinger, who get cancelled if they ever dare to take a principled stand against a cult king.

Even this story is bullshit. The squad did nothing more than say “remember your promise Joe!” He really did make that promise. How horribly extreme of them!
