Good thing Pelosi stopped AOC, one of the politicians with the biggest social media reach who can go on IG live over any issue and go viral, from getting that position right before this all went down

Reposted from Ken Klippenstein

Trump fired 12 inspectors general last night. Meanwhile the top Democrat in charge of oversight, 74 year old Rep. Gerry Connolly, hasn't done a media hit in over 2 weeks

Yea but if she goes viral over that what about Mark Warner’s tuna melts!?

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

C’mon, trust the process - and Warner’s cringe tuna melt vid is clearly the well established panacea for any country teetering on the brink of building the Fourth Reich. This is clearly the decisive democrat strategy we’ve all been hoping for.

Eldin, do you even politics? *pft*

Personally I'm happy that we have a 74 year old, establishment, insider-trading, white, male, mute leading the opposition on ethics at these perilous times than a young, progressive, energetic, firebrand, eloquent, fighting latina woman.

amyinsd.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm so angry about that. We need fighters like AOC out front and in leadership positions. The gerontocracy is not going to rise to this occasion.

thomwade.bsky.social•29 days ago

Surely he is just really busy putting together his plan to stop Trump in his tracks!

thelongrekhan.bsky.social•30 days ago

Hopefully Mother Nature starts signing her own executive orders on this gerontocratic insanity

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

She’d better because traditionally our hopes rest in ‘old father time’ and the grim reaper seems to have a blind spot to western politicians.

thelongrekhan.bsky.social•30 days ago

It’s unbelievable. So many inspirational badasses dead in the last 15 years, and McConnell is STILL alive

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

Barely. He seems to spend most of his time in the grips of a grande mal seizure, and having to be physically moved to and from the podium by aides. At this point Nixon’s head in a jar from Futurama looks like a sane choice for any government job on the basis of both integrity and vitality.

That's because Pelosi knows who she really works for.

punisheddebil.bsky.social•29 days ago

70 year olds fucking over someone who isn't in their golden years club is very normal and exactly how the government should be run

She really is too good for that party.
Here in Spain, we elected this boss to represent in European parliament.

jaydee-m.bsky.social•29 days ago

It seems like political theater sometimes.
Of course, none of them have anything to worry about.

mmwritessf.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why does it matter if he hasn't done a media hit in 2 weeks if this just happened 36 hours ago?

paulwalker44.bsky.social•28 days ago

“Good thing” libs keep voting in Pelosi.

🤮

brokedownpalce.bsky.social•30 days ago

Values 😂- this is how people who campaign on adjectives instead of policy operate.
- Single Payer HC
- Pass Card Check
- expand public ed to inc college

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

Look, she’s still young. In another 40-50 years she’ll be in what American political parties consider ‘her prime’ - y’know ‘senile’.

Pushing her forward at this early stage might endanger 20% of the 1% vote, and instead invigorate the ‘yoof’.

randomino.bsky.social•30 days ago

AOC once again playing ball and not being rewarded for it

gonzoknife.bsky.social•29 days ago

"We need a strong Republican Party" Pelosi deserves some of the responsibility for us getting here.

Nancy Pelosi alone might have destroyed America in her narcisstic rage

Let’s not forget Alexandria Working Tirelessly Toward a Ceasefire Coretz was one of these people

randomino.bsky.social•30 days ago

She still hasn't apologized or otherwise indicated that she was wrong about the two most consequential decisions in front of her last year, namely whether to stand by Biden and whether to claim the ceasefire effort was real. She's supposed to be the leader with political instincts that bad?

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

You have a point.

pacificnwxx.bsky.social•29 days ago

Pelosi stopping AOC from becoming the top Democrat on the Oversight Committee so that Jerry Nadler could take the helm, all in the name of “Seniority” is the very reason why I am considering leaving the Democratic Party for Independent. The party of Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Schiff are out of touch.

drdoofenschmirtz.bsky.social•30 days ago

Pelosi is still mad AOC ended her boy Joe Crowley’s political career. That’s why most of the establishment hates her. That dude supposedly had presidential ambitions before she beat him.

mediumvillain.bsky.social•30 days ago

Its all incestuous and masturbatory for all of those people. The idea of doing politics is foreign to them, they're all influence peddling & insider trading

mathmatics.bsky.social•28 days ago

Pretty sure the dems hate us and want us to die. If not, they sure do a good job of making me feel that way.

owlhoot8.bsky.social•30 days ago

But we can't have someone that would fight for the people actually fighting for the people! It's best to pretend to fight for the people with a centrist that will bow to an oligarchy! Centrism leads to fascism. Democratic leaders know this and did it anyway. They pretend to care for $$$ donations!

luigiboard93.bsky.social•30 days ago

This election has pretty much helped me lose all faith in the democrats. Of course, Trump and his goons are horrendous, and have already shown their hand in just the past few days, but what did the dems honestly do to try to stop them?

416c656e61.bsky.social•30 days ago

My takeaway from Dems for years has been "vote for us or else". I was done getting shook down by them after 2016.

luigiboard93.bsky.social•29 days ago

I never really loved the Dems, but for a time, it felt like they actually were the lesser of two evils. Though this election, they made it clear that they can be just as big of bullies as the Republicans. Only real difference at this point, is that the Republicans will just say they don't care.

calsorrows.bsky.social•30 days ago

Unlike MAGA, we didn’t just see the obvious interference in this election, we essentially saw Trump and Musk confess to it before audiences numbering millions. More fool us for ‘trusting the system’ and expecting them to do something. But no, they didn’t want to sound like BlueAnon. Ffs.

nectar-vam77.bsky.social•30 days ago

How are we gonna survive this trashfire mess for four years?

I feel like living in total darkness with little to no glimpses of light.

orestes08.bsky.social•30 days ago

It's fine. One of them is gonna make a sandwich on Twitch in a month.

randomino.bsky.social•30 days ago

I love that they thought there was a sandwich meme, and now the meme is that they thought there was a sandwich meme.

rob-reiner-fan.bsky.social•30 days ago

The old "definition of insanity" seems to apply here.

jaydee-m.bsky.social•29 days ago

Pelosi should've been long gone by now, that fossil is well past her due date.
If you're snapping a hip ffs, get out of the game, you are taking up a spot for someone younger that might not be so out of touch. GTFO
