    We don’t have a parliamentary system where a party can kick out an elected member for not supporting the party’s agenda and replace them with someone else.

    1. That doesn’t mean no pressure can be applied, if it does then Biden is a liar and ignorant of how our system works… Why didn’t you speak up when he kept claiming he could apply pressure to get Republican votes? But regardless of if it could have worked, Biden refused to try public pressure

    2. The fact that we can’t kick them out of the party is why the new DNC is advocating to primary them out.
