That has been used to move centrist Dems to the LEFT! You tell them to get onboard with FDR type of legislation and start cutting military aide to nations who commit war crimes. Obama did this, as did Nancy Pelosi. I think LBJ was a master of arm twisting !
He got the civil rights legislation and the great society legislation passed! It’s been done.

I’m not going to take the bait, to name names …as I expect I’ll be reported.

I’d suggest you peruse the members of Congress and ask who has gone to mat to save our democracy for the children.
