MODERATORS
Great. Another old white man. Welcome to the owmer class, I suppose.
MAGA took over the GOP in 4 years.
Time for progressives and other leftists to do the same to the Democrats.
Democrats: Make sure progressives lose. Democrats lose peoples vote.
Democrats: We should pivot right to win. Democrats lose election.
Democrats: Progressive don't vote, we should pivot even mmore to the right.
All the while raking in billions of dollars from the people of the country.
Fuck this evil bitch, she is clearly determined to die in her fucking chair just like Feinstein and RBG. Fuck all three of those greedy fucking pieces of shit.
At least Nancy can continue to directly profit via the stock market while she continues to play the failed queen maker.
She holds plenty of the blame for our fallen democracy too.
Pelosi needs an Adjustor.
Weegee time
And yet the left wing of the party won't do shit.
The left wing of the party needs to leave the party. Stop enabling the right wing. Make it clear to Americans there is a centrist party and a far right party right now.
Ding ding ding!
Yay let's get a geriatric to chair the meetings and fall asleep after making Hitler comparisons or claiming that the death of the Republic is upon us. We're in dire straits so it's time for our most feeble and ill-equipped to lead us still!
Kinda sorry to hear that, but won't go batshit crazy about it. AOC will be just fine. She's evolved into quite a Congress Critter, and is one of the top communicators in the House. Her time will surely come. She'll be around for a long time if that's what she wants to do. Dems have gone new blood on 5 committee chairs.
Her time will surely come. She'll be around for a long time if that's what she wants to do.
After the water wars and world war 3 surely.
It's AOC's turn when she turns 75!
She could get the chair in 2 years, and then it might be the ranking chair
don't worry Charlie we won't pull the football away this time
Connelly is pretty well regarded in the caucus.
Raskin wanted Nadlers chair on Judiciary. Nadler ended up telling him he was going to retire anyway and go ahead.
Committee chairs aren't the be all and end all. Looks like some people around here are probably more upset than AOC herself.
Hopefully his cancer takes him soon. That would be a fitting divine punishment for his hubris and refusal to have a shred of dignity and retire at an appropriate time. People who demand power "because it's my turn" are despicable sociopaths. Damning a nation for their own vanity. His soul is as diseased as his body.
Humans gonna human.
Democrats have, again, learned nothing
They already know full well they need to make a populist shift to win. They'd rather lose than alienate big money.
They're in too deep.
Ah, the familiar feeling of disappointment by the Democrats
Pelosi right now
The reason Pelosi's doing this is because she's scared shitless of the future but can't come to terms with her part in this mess. If you listen to her speak candidly about Trump (the NYT interview is a great example) you can tell she legitimately fears for her life after what happened to her husband. As a result, she actually believes that the only way to save the country is to move right. She's wrong of course and the data bears that out but there's a large contingent of the Democratic base that agrees and she doesn't have to look far for a permission structure.
That's because they've been manufacturing consent since Clinton. The incessant need to be bipartisan without it being returned means Democrats are justifying further right policies every cycle, just to say they worked across the aisle. The people that want the Dems to move further right are Republicans who left because of the Tea Party. And MSNBC/CNN are all over it too.
She should be scared
