Wall Street Democrats are not just resisting progress but putting freedom and democracy in jeopardy.

The progressive optimism that the Biden presidency might lead to real change is quickly fading as right-wing Democrats such as Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are threatening to indefinitely stall the 3.5 trillion spending bill that "would expand education, health care, and childcare support, address the climate crisis and make further investments in infrastructure." This is a familiar story, a so-called centrist push back against the possibility of even basic systemic reforms in the name of finding a "sensible" economic and political "middle ground."

Yet this appeal to "moderation" masks an extremist capitalist agenda. Rightfully nicknamed "Wall Street Democrats" their constituency is first and foremost serving the interests of corporate elites. Claims to be concerned with bipartisanship or the debt are both disingenuous and dangerous.

The Democratic Party, for so long characterized by political and moral compromise, is standing up to the growing fascism of Republicans. It is time they take a stand against the Right-wing corporate extremists in their own Party. Indeed, they represent an existential threat to the survival of our democracy and the prospect of a freer future for all.
