I guess you're right.
Let's keep fighting.
"Young voters favored Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the 2024 election by 4 points: 51% to 47%. That was a much smaller margin than young voters gave President Biden over Trump in 2020 (+25)"

Yeah, that sentence is too long for Maga mouth breathers.
Pelosi should get it, though.
But--there could be a mentorship role agreement with AOC as he works with her to support her success as chair. Or maybe a cochair situation, if that is ever done.
And, I was speaking of Connolly doing the mentoring, to be clear.
I am very happy to see AOC in this, and Connolly has much to offer here. He certainly would do a fine job, as she would, as well.
And regardless of Pelosi's age, it's hard for me to agree she stayed too long. But Connelley is no Pelosi
Not sure Biden said that, but I get what you mean. Core issue is Dems seem to continue to pre-plan outcomes rather than letting the competition allow for change.
I am not sure what we have to lose at this point by letting her give it a go as someone who is not only unafraid to speak out but also is very articulate and quick on her feet when she does. Her ability to make deals with any Republicans may be less than his because of his history.
Democrats need to back her message more than the status quo center left politics of the Chuck Schumer generation.
The party dinosaurs need to accept they're extinct
God forbid AOC or Jasmine Crockett get the position. They would actually stand up to Trump and his goons.
He is an awkward
speaker.
AOC or bust.
But Connelly is no Nancy Pelosi.
AOC is much more capable and has more power to influence change.
I wonder why he even wants this.
"Young voters favored Harris over Trump in the 2024 election by 4 points: 51% to 47%. That was a much smaller margin than young voters gave Biden over Trump in 2020 (+25)."
And what’s with American politics, full of nearly dead old white coffin dodgers, shuffling around from one fall to the next. No wonder the country is so fucked.

I'm sure he's got some fresh ideas to get us out of the slump that old white guys put us in
Regardless of who will be their lead, they need to support each other and stick together.
Sometime it's best to take grandpa's keys away for the good of all.
Don’t lump.
Old white dudes need to enjoy their golden years so maybe the rest of us can!! 😒
Now she’s becoming a clone of Senator Feinstein, sucking the life out of the room, she doesn’t know how to stop & she’s ruining her legacy for nothing but pride and won’t retire.
It's bad enough the msm is selling out. But, Dem leaders opting to keep stepping on a rake is pissing me off.
What are we doing here people?
She's earned the promotion.
More DNC madness
😡
