    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.

    Everyone please wait your turn, we still have half a century of backlog before progress can be considered.

    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.

    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.

      And has cancer, and not one of the good ones. Esophageal cancer has a ~15% 1 year survival rate in the US. Obviously if caught early prognosis is much better but it is a rare one to catch early.

        I’m not a medical professional, but I would assume this would also hinder your speaking abilities.

        I know there are many ways he could communicate alternatively, but congress person seems like a job where talking is important.

    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.

    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.

    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!
