So tired of this one. One of the most populist things the Democrats could do, as a group, would be to run on ending the legal insider trading that all these fuckers do. Doing something like that would probably give them the House and the Senate if they actually ran on that, broadcast that, and then did something about it. That might be easier to do - if they could stop self-dealing.
Nancy is the face of this but it's not like it's only her or confined to Democrats.
it's not like it's only her or confined to Democrats.
True. She just happens to be the very best at it, bar none.
She's less awful than most Republicans and a few of the Democrats in Washington in general, but when it comes to legal corruption, nobody's as prolific and skilled as Pelosi. No Democrats, no Republicans.
That's how she was elevated to leadership over 20 years ago without seniority and with no legislative accomplishments to speak of: nobody's as good at corralling and representing the owner donors as her.
For fuck's sake! Go away and take Hillary with you!
And while you're at it, take your 1992 strategies for campaigning and legislating away. Just like you, they are not useful to the vast majority of people in the third decade of the 21st century.
in the third decade of the 21st century.
Every millennial in this thread just died a little inside.
Except myself, an elder millennial born on the penultimate day of 82. I'm at peace with being middle aged 😄
Old people never standing aside and giving the younger generations the opportunities they got. She's part of the reason for the death of the Democrats.
I do wonder how this kind of thing will pan out as life extension comes onto the scene...
I don't fuck wit hoes. Working class or gtfo.
Founding member of house progressive caucus, who has since ceded her power to younger generations, decides to keep running since she’s healthy
Cool story bro
House Progressive Caucus is the third-most dishonestly named caucus after the Freedumb Caucus and the Problem Solvers Caucus.
While it DOES indeed contain all the progressives, it also contains a majority of corporate Dems who care about as much about people who don't give them at least $5,000 per election cycle as Donald Trump cares about dogs.
Tbh it should be an invite-only caucus
