Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC’s former chief of staff, thinks the Democrats need a bolder vision.

Why the fuck is this ghoul still running in the first place? Please primary her ass CA.
You think too much of CA. CA is INCREDIBLY liberal, so much of CA loves her and worships the memory of Dianne Feinstein.
Trump got 38% of California to vote for him last year. We are nowhere close to “incredibly liberal”. Also I hate Pelosi.
Undereducated people who can’t stand the cognitive dissonance of the liberal control of CA, paying lip service to issues that actually affect the working class while enriching the elites, restricting freedom and protecting the stability of the status quo above all.
Yep, this is nail on the head.
Also, a lot of the monied interests are tied to very old people. They’re massively out of touch with the world of now, and still think reality is 1998. They’re geriatric Matrixers.
She’s been fine, but it is past time for change
Pelosi has been a massive driving force in keeping the DNC from getting younger or less neo liberal. She has blocked committee assignments at every turn for more left leaning and younger congresspeople, most famously AOC. She is the head of the Democrat side of the absurdly corrupt insider trading gerentocracy of a Congress we have had for decades. The self enrichment is absolutely disgraceful, paying lip service to left wing causes while actively preventing meaningful left wing movement to take hold in the party and country. She and McConnell are two very effective leaders on either side of the same grifter coin perpetuating American neo liberal imperialism at the expense of the working class worldwide.
You know when MAGA talked about draining the swamp during elections? Probably the one time the broken clock was right. Pelosi was a huge contribution to the orange men first term. Insider trading, status quo, eroding workers right while sugarcoating it with social issues etc
You are killing it with these synopses. Excellent
I have family and friends in California. They all thought Feinstein was way too freaking old.
So incredibly liberal they voted to keep prison slavery
That is liberal honestly. Punishment of any crime means you are now an indentured servant of the state.
And we have homeless basically illegalized as rent goes up, so the forces who put out our fires are the ones who lived in those areas when rent was lower.
Term and age limits will be needed if the Constitution is improved, alongside ditching first-past-the-post voting. A great deal of America’s rot comes from the stagnation caused by career politicians who simply exist to occupy a seat.
Sure, we might lose ‘wise’ leaders, but it has become pretty damn clear that archaic politicians are the plugged toilets of Democracy. All they do is cause a mess if not promptly handled. The Geronocrats must go.
It comes from citizens united as well. We are a country whose government runs on bribe money and little else.
Fuck yes, let’s go with it!

What else we need in here or what have I gone wrong on?
I have no issue with politicians up to age 65, if we want to capture the breadth of their experience. After 65 though, they’re out. Cognitive decline is a sharp dropoff, and we want politicians who are a going concern for the decisions they make.
Yeah less for cognitive decline, I kind of want to see more churn on bodies in chairs. Let en go out and earn the rest of their fortunes before retirement.
A way to get politicians to vote against their own self interest.
It’s probably easier to make it so their self interest is best served by serving the people, by doing something along the lines of tying their pay to the median pay of their constituents.
That’s not a bad idea How would we do it?
I love the concept, I think that’s going to be kind of hard to write into law.
Maybe instead we could find some way where they are beholden to their constituents?
I guess part of the problem with that is misinformation. We need something to watch over, and stamp out propaganda, But how do you do that without making a tool so powerful that it could be used for evil, or more succinctly, how could you set up guardrails to keep it from being evil.

Wonder how long before the dictator state sees the 2nd as a threat and starts to curb it?
Will all these hours of community service be paid or are we restricting public office to those who can afford to work for free?
Limit every office to 1 term
Let’s throw in a lifelike animatronic AOC fuck doll, while we’re mixing ridiculous fantasy with our politics
aww look at you articulating your feelings, so cute
Hey I’m saying it wouldn’t happen, not that it wouldn’t be great if it did
The fact that this would’ve put Bernie out of a job years ago is a hard no for me. Campaign finance reform so we don’t have a bunch of corporate stooges in power, and getting rid of FPTP make more sense to me. Better alternative candidates will have a chance, as well as life-ling civil servants who are proven and lovee by their communities
A neat person like Bernie doesn’t have to be a politician to do good works. He can help mentor grass root organizations. While it would be a shame to lose a good guy from direct politics, it is far easier for evil politicians to stick around if we don’t force them out. A good guy is apt to step down from power when they think it is right, but an evil one? They won’t leave until carried out in a coffin.
Life long service or being old are not synonymous with being evil. You could also be forcing a dedicated good guy out with term limits and making way for an evil person
Back when Pelosi was pushing the Affordable Care Act she came on KQED and railroaded the host, basically just ignored all the questions to deliver the party line. I was bruh this is your home base and acted like it was hostile territory.
Pelosi has been a huge fundraiser and leader for the Democrats, but might as well live on planet Mars when it comes to understanding working class people, even in the Bay Area.
We need a leadership vacuum in the Democratic Party to even hope of changing anything significantly.
Pelosi has been a huge fundraiser and leader for the Democrats
One reason why Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman got the old heave-ho. Pelosi has been instrumental in bankrolling Congressfolk like Henry Cuellar and Richie Torries while undermining candidates like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Her leadership has largely lead to the current moment in Democratic Party Politics, with a handful of insiders growing obscenely rich while the rank-and-file voters are told to suck eggs every time their favorite legislation fails.

The real leadership of the democratic party is within the donor class. Women like Nancy get to hold the gavel, but its the Gettys and the Buffets and the Thiels who ultimately hold the power.
All these fucking useless Democratic leaders are so selfish. You’ve failed and failed over and over again, miserably, yet you still insist on trying to lead? Do the right thing. Step down. Quit. It’s truly disgusting how they’ve strangled their party and country with their incompetence.
And let progressives who actually have plans to stop Trump win for once? Never!
She going to be another Feinstein?
Kick her the fuck out. Kick all the useless democrats out. Fuck all of them. They lost. They’re done. Go the fuck away.
Clickbait is not including the name in the post title.
… is it Father Time?
That’s not surprising. The left has been looking for someone capable of primarying her for years.
And for years she’s always held onto her position because of name recognition and money from Super PACs. Ratfucking is a bipartisan tool.
Fucking ghoul looks cel shaded.
Borderlands 4 villian confirmed.
The challengers we need are to the entire DNC. They are a failure at representative government
It’s not to late to delete this
Anybody
this ghoul still alive?
As long as one of them wins idc. If one of them loses the seat in the house then this is gonna be the fuck around found out portion.
