The CPC is the antithesis of the Freedom Caucus.

The FC is composed of the dumbest Republicans, while the CPC is composed of many of the smartest and most courageous Democrats. It is time for the Democrats to impose their agenda to save the country and the world and it is no accident the females, kids and minorities are gravitating to it.

Do you not realize how important it is to attack Global Warming like we did WWII? Do you not realize the problem with plutocratic hegemony and income inequality is destroying our society. We need to raise taxes on the rich and corporations and cut waste like the military and reappropriate the money to needed social programs like saving the homeless and poor and kids and the planet.

I can understand your thinking that way as you have not been seeing clearly the danger of the Republican party and the republican rank and file.

"The Congressional Progressive Caucus now has 90 members and will now direct much of the policy. This is the Bernie wing of the Democratic party. He is the lone senate member. "

This is becoming the Freedom Caucus of the Democratic Party, and Bernie is our Ted Cruz.
