Joe Walsh is a former Tea Party Republican who has joined the Democratic party.

Real conservatives prioritize their commitment to democracy and the Constitution above party. The conservatives who voted for Trump are just some combination of selfish, racist, and hateful.

@augieray Joe Walsh is more acceptable to the DNC than Zohran Mamdani…

@Tattered The Democratic Party would not support Joe Walsh running as a Democrat. They welcome his criticism of Donald Trump.

I am frustrated with how many in the DNC have treated Mamdani, but the comparison you made is hardly apples to apples.

@augieray If a former member of the Tea Party is now a member of the Democrats, it seems a fine distinction to me. But then, I am no admirer of any political party to the right of socialism. The idea that the DNC represents the American Left seems to me to be a very large part of the current political difficulties faced by the US.
