That's why Pelosi chose them, specially over AOC. She's the other side of the US oligarchy, the one that's ok with the slice of cake they have now and don't want to push the US into a complete dictatorship just to try to get more. She's one of the people in the democratic party that's most abusing federal insider trading and conflicts of interests.

The new and improved democratic party is back in business everyone!
🌎👩🏼🚀🔫👩🏼🚀
He's also recently announced that he's undergoing chemotherapy for esophagus cancer, which has a very low survival rate. It's bad enough that the DNC will only allow corrupt geriatrics to hold the levers of power, but could they at least have found one that wasn't actively dying?
So an unsurprising pick for the "good" party.
Fucking of course he did. Jesus christ.
This is why I say that the DNC is fully dead. AOC and the rest of the young progressives in Congress need to just get with Sanders and straight up found a new party. This is so fucking dumb.
I was thinking that Trump was going to be the end of the Republican party, and the Democrats would pick up the slightly reasonable conservative position. Instead Trump made the Democratic party if playing to the right a farce and maybe that'll end the Democratic party. I'm curious to see where things go. It seems like one of the two have to collapse eventually.
We can thank Nancy Pelosi and her boomer wisdom for this.
The fewer boomers in Congress, the better.
Is she even a boomer or silent generation? Not sure about her exact age but I think Hitler was winning the war when she was born.
Boomer is a state of mind.
Eat my ass Nancy Pelosi
I hope she trips again, and this time, never gets up again.
It should be illegal to own stocks as a Senator.
Honestly, at this point we just need to dissolve the US in its entirety. I no longer believe it can be saved. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. They can then come back together and form whatever new nation or nations they want. The existing union is broken beyond all repair. It can no longer be salvaged.
Biden could premptively pardon every American for choosing to secede if they want to and we can just end it now with no repercussions or violence.
Biden could...
He won't.
A bit dramatic there.
Why should the Nazi fucks in Texas drag down people trying to live their lives in California or NY?
Shame she wasn’t at home with her husband.
So, they meet the qualifications. Got it.
Dems do insider trading, Reps do rape. Nice people.
And both of them fuck you over and over.
You couldn't write this and have someone think it was realistic.
What the actual fuck DNC? Pelosi? Corrupt pieces of shit just protecting themselves
On top of being 74 and one month fresh off a throat cancer diagnosis...
Edit:
He announced it the day after he won the election, it would be a huge coincidence if that's the day he received, he more likely just his it from voters...
Fucking hope motherfucker dies screaming. The Democratic Party is done.
Why do you think he was Pelosi’s pick? lmao, that evil greedy power hungry bitch
Being in the senate and congress will become increasingly a status symbol and effective tool for getting health care for oneself and one's family. Otherwise it will be about as useful as it was during the slow slide from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. But being America it will happen much faster.
I have an idea:
- get people who desperately need health insurance together
- elect one of them for Congress
- they perform the minimum amount of days needed to get health insurance for life
- resign
- Governor sets special election
- next person runs for office
- repeat until everyone has insurance
They've really streamlined the process.
Well, that's why he's qualified.
