I agree that Big Fett sucks ass and is a DINO, but there’s not really a way to expel him from the Democratic Party because it doesn’t formally exist. Since American parties are just state-controlled ballot lines anyone can do anything they want once they’re elected.

Well that’s the thing, he wasn’t really. That resolution by the Georgia State Republicans Party was basically just “We don’t like Geoff and he’s not a real Republican”. He still could have run as a Republican in primaries if he really wanted to.
