The closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee, which is closely aligned with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., yielded 34 votes for Connolly and 27 for Ocasio-Cortez, according to a member of the panel. The position opened up after the top Democrat on Oversight, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., challenged Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., for a similar post on the Judiciary Committee, prompting Nadler to bow out.
A septuagenarian in a cancer fight. Instead of someone who can inspire people.
Bra. Vo.
I keep thinking they can’t be more out of touch, but every time, they come from behind and force me to believe.
If they only would lean more conservative 😂
Yet more evidence I am not a Democrat. I wish I didn’t have to be in this party just to try to influence it in primaries.
well after Pelosi torpedoed AOC there’s little surprise. That person is dead set against progressives tanking them at every opportunity. She is made of steel and were effective in some things that were net positive but she’s wielding too much power with Democrats and is virtually unchecked.
The Democratic party has too many geezers.
I think it may be time for a new leftist party.
There already exist leftist parties. They languish in obscurity thanks to our election process. We didn’t get a new right-wing party, we witnesses a determined enough voter base take it over through primaries starting with the Tea Party and culminating with MAGA. We need more leftist candidates and voters showing up in the Democratic primaries to wrest the party away from the old guard.
Ive been feeling that lately, that MAGA is just the tea party. I didn’t put it together until I saw a sign advertising a local tea party organization though
Been saying it.
dammit
