Democratic Leadership Elections

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I think Tim Ryan and Seth are going to fail but I admire and appreciate the effort. We need to go back to the center.

You do realize that the vast majority of the Democratic candidates who flipped House seats this year were Proggresives who supported Medicare for all, Free College, 15 dollar minimum wage, Gun control, Comprehensive Immigration reform, etc, instead of mushy moderate “New Democrats” who obsess over balanced budgets and bipartisanship, right?

Yes, but I also legit want a government that can work together and get things done, and I want to see my party take steps towards that. I don’t want gridlock, I want DC to work.

It will start to "work" when we get the Presidency

But why can’t we try to work with President Trump now?

You're a damn fool if you think that the way to get Trump to take the Democratic Party seriously as "governing partners" or whatever (ugh) is to elevate people like Seth Moulton.

Part of me is actually excited about the possibility of the Democrats shutting down the government more easily now and maybe even using the House's unique ability to initiate revenue bills as a blunt instrument to punish and assert dominance over the antidemocratic right-wing Senate, and feels that turnabout is fair play.

Really wish someone would take down Hoyer and Clyburn. Who's going to be Caucus Chair? That's my question.

Is anyone running against Sanchez yet?

Seriously though, fu** Seth Moulton. The biggest opportunist in politics today. I hope Markey gives him a good spanking and sends him packing.

I'm actually embarrassed that I supported Tim Ryan's challenge to Pelosi two years ago. It's clear now that it had nothing to do with #populism or with the House Democrats' problems gaining back ground electorally.

Didn't know where else to put this but lol

Moulton calls out Ocasio-Cortez's tweet defending Pelosi as 'offensive'
