Pelosi won big time on social security. They will need her to win on Medicare.

Fuk that beyach Pelosi. She made millions off of insider trading information before Congress stopped allowing that after public pressure.

Let that hoe continue to try challenging the Electoral College and doing meaningless work while trying to look like she is really for the middle/lower class. She is a fraud. :pacspit:

if tim ryan had bernie's charisma and fundraising chops i'd agree with you. nobody knew he was a month ago.

something tells me dems are comfortable putting the blame on hillary/comey/emails for this election rather than a fundamental problem with the party. have you noticed how Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been all over tv since the election ended. :francis:


They should be.

Its not the overall party's fault Hillary was such an unlikable candidate. Her and Trump being disgusting kept the turn out to about 50% vs. the 63% & 61% that came out for Obama's two wins. If Hillary could have just gotten at least 1% of the people who stayed home to vote, she would have won, but she couldn't even do that. I think even Biden or Bernie would have brought out 55% of the eligible voters.

Tim Ryan sounded like he wants to adopt Bill Clinton's 90s strategy with respect to the white vote. He is complaining about identity politics as much as a Fox News host. I am not surprised he would be struggling to thread that needle and also pretend to care about social justice issues. When he assumes Dems can do both he knows very well how the hierarchy of interests will shape out when it is this so called economic populism vs the issues he thinks Democrats are wasting time on.

That other guy actually got more votes than I expected he would get.

But honestly, how can you lose 4 straight House elections for your party and you still get to be leader?
Because "loyalty" which is toxic enough in a private sector corporation but even worse in government.

Sadly our future president takes this even an order of magnitude further.

Tim Ryan is right though, identity politics is a losing strategy

They redistricted to the point where even when they lose the popular vote in the house, they have a massive majority :dead:

That's complete injustice and u know it.

Que Injustica
I guess the question is when the system itself is rigged, does it really matter who the leader of the house minority is at the point? They've been made a permanent minority no matter what strategies they take on at least for the immediate future.

Given the way the house is setup on a national scale, Bernie sanders could downgrade to congress and become the leader and not much else changes.

How can you "win" in a system rigged against you ?
