    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.

    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.

    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.

          ive volunteered for texting campaigns. when you text STOP you believe it’s triggering some program and doing it automatically, but its not. the volunteer sees your response then clicks “mute” or “remove”, it depends on the campaign and the response.

          if you type “fuck off”, they will mute the conversation and you won’t get any more messages (until next campaign)

            That’s amazingly bad management for such a campaign, wow

            The dispensary I worked at handled it automatically, the only human input needed was drafting the actual texts

            Yeah but I want to tell the person three or four levels up to fuck off, not some idealistic person who thinks these sort of things aren’t just an annoyance.

    The reason Pelosi’s doing this is because she’s scared shitless of the future but can’t come to terms with her part in this mess. If you listen to her speak candidly about Trump (the NYT interview is a great example) you can tell she legitimately fears for her life after what happened to her husband. As a result, she actually believes that the only way to save the country is to move right. She’s wrong of course and the data bears that out but there’s a large contingent of the Democratic base that agrees and she doesn’t have to look far for a permission structure.

    We have tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!


    For all the neoliberal Dems crow about Republicans choosing party over country, this is what choosing party over country looks like. The corporate wing of the party would literally choose fascism over leftism.

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

    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!

      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.

    Continue shitting on Democrats every chance you get to anyone who will listen and then surprise pikachu when your friends (and probably yourself) don’t turn out to vote and Trump gets into office.

      This is just valid criticism. The Dems since Obamas 2nd term seem determined to make every election as hard as possible for themselves.
