  • Texas Rep. Greg Casar talks Trump's lies, Democrat soul searching, and kicking corporate interest "in the shins"

The article from MSN discusses the Democratic Party's internal debate over its political strategy, particularly in light of recent election results and the upcoming 2024 presidential election. It highlights the rise of Rep. Pramila Jayapal as a prominent progressive leader within the party, who argues against adopting a more centrist or "diet Republicanism" approach. Jayapal and other progressives believe that the party should not shy away from its progressive values, pointing out that even in losses, progressive candidates like Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin showed strong voter turnout.
