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.
Pelosi needs an Adjustor.
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.
They're in too deep.
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.
Humans gonna human.
Literally choosing a 74 y/o with cancer over a popular leftist candidate.

And yet the left wing of the party won't do shit.
The left wing of the party needs to leave the party. Stop enabling the right wing. Make it clear to Americans there is a centrist party and a far right party right now.
Ding ding ding!
The who now?
Pelosi right now
Defund the DNC. They're fucking useless now anyways
Somebody figure out how to make “fuck off” stop the fundraising texts.
You could always send dick pics. I’m sure if you don’t have one or don’t want to send your own, there’s plenty of people willing to send ‘em to you.
Ask pretty much any woman, they’ve probably had a few they don’t want.
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)
Uhm.
There absolutely are bots that respond to key words.
But sometimes they just flag you as a live phone number.
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.
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
Report the number as Spam
Ah, the familiar feeling of disappointment by the Democrats
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.

They have before and they will again.
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.
That's because they've been manufacturing consent since Clinton. The incessant need to be bipartisan without it being returned means Democrats are justifying further right policies every cycle, just to say they worked across the aisle. The people that want the Dems to move further right are Republicans who left because of the Tea Party. And MSNBC/CNN are all over it too.
She should be scared
Everyone please wait your turn, we still have half a century of backlog before progress can be considered.
the conservative democrats strike again. worthless, all of them.
He is 74 years old
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.
So they consider him one of the young bucks?
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!
result!
