I… agree with Nancy Pelosi on something?
Wtf is the world coming to.
(Fuck her opinion on Bernie’s statement though - democrats are absolutely out of touch with the working class).
If this is the last dance for democracy in America, a small part of the blame wil go not only to Biden for not leaving at the right time, but also RBG. Her insistence on not resigning during Obama’s term, while Democrats held the Senate, enabled this, too.
She was holding out so that Hillary could pick her replacement. Welp…
Good news, turns out justice Sotomayor has health issues too!
Oh wait, that’s the opposite of good news. The Democrats are just useless.
The GOP would still have a majority if she did resign. That was a kick to the nuts right before we got tossed down the stairs.
For fucks sake Nancy, retire and make room for new blood.
You’re an albatross around the party’s neck and actively fight against the party platform on things like stock regulations or holding the wealthy accountable in anyway.
Dems would be better off if everyone over 70 in the party got the fuck out of the way instead of desperately clinging to offic for personal power.
They’ll keep rolling her out for campaigns like do with Bill Clinton. They view reaching high station in the party as being perpetually loved by the rank and file.
The one good thing the Republican party did was to stop pretending Bush II was popular. They ran away from this guy as soon as Obama was elected and pretended they never met the guy, so they could be a completely new party that couldn’t be held accountable for past ‘mistakes’ (even though their policies never actually changed).
The Democrats on the other hand are still rolling out Clinton on the regular, even though he’s responsible for a lot of issues we’re seeing now, and was good friends with Epstein and Trump.
I was listening to CNN on the commute home tonight and one of the pundits said “The Democratic party needs to shake things up with some younger leadership… There’s a lot of great people in their 50s and 60s in the party that could step up!”
Clown party. They are not serious. Ugh.
The lady must have dirt tattooed on her body at this point. She’s around because she’s a backroom weapon.
All blame and no plan It’s like corporate middle manglement
Gah, I really wish Pelosi would exit politics herself.
“Senior citizen who’s been in office for too long blames other senior citizen for staying in office for too long.”
Pelosi, sit down and shut up. Your time is over.
Rather than the outrageous number of fascists and the disturbingly high number of people who’d rather not vote (or vote third party) instead of voting against the fascist in a meaningful way?
Like, I get there might have been issues with the Democratic campaign, but for fuck’s sake, the alternative was what you got. Well done. Hope the view was worth it from atop that high horse.
Well no shit, we’ve been saying that for months.
Ah yes, if the democratic party had tactically shifted candidates at the right time, the US and the world could have continued business as usual for another 50 years.
Definitely. Absolutely!No reason at all to consider that maybe people are completely fed up with the entire system, which strip-mines the planet’s resources and the fruits of the workers’ labor, to hand them to a dozen ghouls at the top.
And lacking literally ANY sane option for change, they chose an insane one.
How is Trump the cure for any of that?
He isn’t.
He’s a collectively shouted “fuck you” to the American political establishment.
He’s the result of a system that made peaceful protest toothless and brings the hammer down on anyone trying to enact change through direct action.
His voters used the only means they have to slap the political old guard (of both parties) in the face, and enjoy their desperation for a while. They didn’t feel like they had much to lose anyway.
She’s right.
Man, I never thought I say that. Let here I am saying it.
Nancy Pelosi is a lich
