    That’s why Pelosi chose them, specially over AOC. She’s the other side of the US oligarchy, the one that’s ok with the slice of cake they have now and don’t want to push the US into a complete dictatorship just to try to get more. She’s one of the people in the democratic party that’s most abusing federal insider trading and conflicts of interests.

    Fucking of course he did. Jesus christ.

    This is why I say that the DNC is fully dead. AOC and the rest of the young progressives in Congress need to just get with Sanders and straight up found a new party. This is so fucking dumb.

      Founding a new party would make them Jill Stein. Nobody wants more Jill Stein.

      Those of you with Dem congressmen, write in and tell them you want AOC. They’re the ones responsible for this shit. Don’t make dumb threats about the general, but you can absolutely consider primaries. Your vote goes farther in the primary. That’s where the difference can be made.

      I was thinking that Trump was going to be the end of the Republican party, and the Democrats would pick up the slightly reasonable conservative position. Instead Trump made the Democratic party if playing to the right a farce and maybe that’ll end the Democratic party. I’m curious to see where things go. It seems like one of the two have to collapse eventually.

    We can thank Nancy Pelosi and her boomer wisdom for this.

    The fewer boomers in Congress, the better.

          Honestly, at this point we just need to dissolve the US in its entirety. I no longer believe it can be saved. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. They can then come back together and form whatever new nation or nations they want. The existing union is broken beyond all repair. It can no longer be salvaged.

            I like where your head is at, but that’s a terrible idea that will just lead to all the Red States going full jihad on “others”

            Biden could premptively pardon every American for choosing to secede if they want to and we can just end it now with no repercussions or violence.

    You couldn’t write this and have someone think it was realistic.

    What the actual fuck DNC? Pelosi? Corrupt pieces of shit just protecting themselves

    On top of being 74 and one month fresh off a throat cancer diagnosis…

    Edit:

    He announced it the day after he won the election, it would be a huge coincidence if that’s the day he received, he more likely just his it from voters…

    Being in the senate and congress will become increasingly a status symbol and effective tool for getting health care for oneself and one’s family. Otherwise it will be about as useful as it was during the slow slide from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. But being America it will happen much faster.

      I have an idea:

      • get people who desperately need health insurance together
      • elect one of them for Congress
      • they perform the minimum amount of days needed to get health insurance for life
      • resign
      • Governor sets special election
      • next person runs for office
      • repeat until everyone has insurance
