These are not the even the worst quotes.
Demands for civility are often just a way to shut down dissent. And then there are people who exploit that fact to do this. Thus isn’t “tone,” and it’s beyond just uncivil. Don’t be fooled into apologizing for it https://twitter.com/nitzky89/status/1339447773998051329

And the thing is, getting a vote on the House floor could indeed be a good organizing device. And people can keep pushing for it. But if you wanted to use this moment to fight for it, the planning should’ve started months ago, before the CPC went in on their PAYGO strategy
In 2019 when AOC and Ro fought against paygo, they were late, disorganized, and slapped together a symbolic pushback. They got crushed. So they started planning for the next round, and this time broke through. Twitter/youtube energy is great but sometimes it takes legwork too
I also agree with this, that the folks on the inside are not often in dialogue enough with those on the outside who they need for their power. It’s also hard to get people excited about paygo https://twitter.com/cedef13/status/1345581249763692545
paygo would have been a major obstacle, yes https://twitter.com/chrismaurer10/status/1345582069758488577
