Democratic party establishment is the most pathetic group of people...

I'd say the Democratic voters who don't primary their asses out are close competition.

Remember, Chuck is trying to please "the Baileys," a fantasy median couple who wouldn't vote for him if they could and generally oppose Democratic policies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dijMKwZMU2Q

Has he been tested for schizophrenia? I am legitimately curious because he has written books about these people.

Dementia seems more likely at his age.

I wonder if—now that modern medicine can keep wealthy people alive so long—all that lead they consumed is more of a problem than it used to be.

I'll genuinely be ecstatic when this turd is voted out. These dual allegiance fake lefties are a stain on humanity. What a disgrace of a human being.

Pelosi's down. Schumer needs to go next.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

Pelosi was (sadly) one of the best establishment Democrats. At least she was competent and had a handful of progressive views. Schumer has always been nothing but pure trash. In any case, yeah, they all gotta go somehow.

The true function of the Democrat party in American politics is to dilute and dissipate energy which could instead go to build & maintain a real opposition party.

He's not caving. He's bending over, cause he's a bitch

I liken the traditional Democrats to the secret battle plan from Black Adder 4.

Capt. E. Blackadder: "We'll all get out of our trenches and slowly march across No Man's Land?" Capt. Darling: "How do you know that? It's classified information!" Capt. E. Blackadder: "It's what we did the last time, the time before and the previous seventeen times before that. Gen. Sir A.H. Melchitt: "PRECISELY! The absolute last thing the watchful Hun will suspect is us doing this again and thus we will take him completely by surprise!"
