    zero citing example of the ‘‘hatred and antisemitism’’ in the article by the way.

    Just for the info, Pelosi was a civil right activist before going into politics. Just like how AOC pretended to have helped unionize some workplace.

    kicking the ladder for your constituents is not a bug, it’s a feature

      They don’t because the US media and politicians have long made an effort to make it so that the public equivocates support for the Palestinian people with antisemitism. So simply asking the that Palestinians not be treated like animals is antisemitic. It’s sickening.

        When you try to ask the UN to give Palestinian authority some semblance of justice, that’s diplomatic terrorism

        When you do BDS, that’s economical terrorism.

      Pelosi was also in the “progressive caucus” and called for universal healthcare at some point. AOC is Pelosi, I’ve been saying this for years.

          che-smile she really does.

          Pelosi is a ghoul, but damn if sbe wasn’t great at being a ghoul. Did nothing but enrich herself and actively make the world worse, and had the voteball enjoyers clapping for her while she ddd it

          give it time. She already serves the same purpose that Pelosi used to. So many centrists and “progressives” point to her as an example that actually progressive politics are possible within the Democratic Party and use her as a cudgel against left wing criticisms of the party. She already funnels money from progressive donors towards centrist democrats. Sure, she may never be the Speaker of the house but I could definitely see her selling out more to get into some leadership position.

            100-com right here. She was the 2nd biggest fundraiser after Pelosi herself. Whether she enters leadership or not, she has the real power which is money.

            The fact that she has that money, that we know she hands over to centrists, makes it clear that all her whinging about needing to play ball with leadership because of commitee appointments or whatever is completely empty.

            She was on the ghoul track her whole life. Her 6 month tour as a bartender was a stolen valor photo op, no different than ratboys.
