I backed off of criticizing this guy when he first rose to popularity because the buzz from the kids was that he was a progressive reformer, and Connor Lamb was the 'establishment' candidate, whatever that means.
The Democratic establishment is decidedly progressive and anti-Trump, and this guy is stepping over Democrats to defend the convicted felon who is grifting off of the American people daily.
Besides just making a point about this weirdness, the point should be made that this is the same kind of choice many of the same people pushing off of Democrats and our leaders today, claiming they want some kind of 'new' Democratic party; want to get rid of established Democrats who regularly produce historic progressive legislative change for the American people when they hold the majority.
Our Democratic 'establishment' is the only political force focused on the American people right now; and have been the only party for decades that works for the people. 'TDS" is the new American patriotism and defense of our democracy and people against a fascist president and his toady party.
