1. So the “both sides” people are right?

2. He’s not even a republican. Impressive.

3. The ‘ol Fox in charge of the henhouse. Pelosi showing why dems are doomed.

4. Pelosi looking after her own.

5. And now you know why Peolsi’s in love with him being in charge.

6. I now understand third-party voters.

7. Unbelievable. We need people like AOC now more than ever in the party and these old out of touch politicians keep getting in the way. Seriously when will they learn.

8. People need to stop voting for these fucking Dems.

   Fuck the Democrats

9. Neoliberals are trying to maintain the status quo of corporate interests while the democratic voter base begins to lean into social liberalism. It will be a long struggle to get the democrats to break from the palms of corporate donors. The only thing that will solidify a future for the average American is getting rid of super pacs and other means of corporate investments in politics.

   Edit: I meant social liberalism and not classical liberalism.

10. we *have* laws about that?

11. Anyone get the feeling it’s just far *too* easy for people to get rewarded for all the wrong reasons?

12. Democrats profit just as much from the current state of things. This proves they have no intention of changing and will continue to double down on losing strategies. Here’s an idea. Defund the Democrat party and form something new.

13. OF COURSE he did. Fucking politicians I stg

14. This should be a clear sign to everybody that we should start organizing under a different party, *immediately*. We need to start planning out the 2028 presidential election. It’s clear that the majority of Dems have learned absolutely nothing from the past 20 years of this BS. It’s clear that deciding to vote 3rd party 3 months before an election also isn’t going to help us.

    We need people to start committing against the democratic party en masse TODAY. We need to build a movement of people that’s too large for democrats to ignore if they want our votes, and hell we shouldn’t even give them our votes. What do we honestly have to lose at this point? It’s either trump or status quo corporate interest. Healthcare CEOs murdering us while democratic governors set up special hotlines for them to call the police that OUR tax dollars fund. Even if it means we win a couple of congressional seats and republicans take over the rest, maybe that’s what we need.

    The democratic party is a joke and doesn’t represent the people it claims to.

15. Is Pelosi aware that she can’t take her money with her when she dies of old age next week?

16. Why don’t we protest?

17. Of course he did. Not only a geriatric with cancer, but a corrupt one at that, what a great choice by Democratic leadership. I wonder if they will ever get their heads out of their asses and realise shit like this is bad optics and plays perfectly into Republican hands.

18. Can we please put people with actual morals and common sense into positions of power. How fucking hard is this shit. Why do we always find the most corrupt pos to run the country or states.

19. She lost this vote. I believe she still contest and take it to the whole voting body which she plans on doing.

20. Haven’t they all done both of those things?

21. Don’t worry, he’s a young 74, notwithstanding his throat cancer. My man’s just getting warmed up.

22. Yeah but it’s his turn now, you see.

23. No wonder Pelosi endorsed him

24. The old high up Dems & their rich sponsors sure look to be complicit with the fascist bullshit eh ?

25. Represents one of the top 10 wealthiest districts in the nation.

26. Until this gerontocracy stops, until Pelosi is gone, my donations to the DNC have dried up.

    Fuck the Democrat leadership for this. 74 years old, come the fuck on…

27. It’s called “Oversight committee”, of course they put in charge the guy who is going to overlook everything.

28. I reached out to the House Minority *Leader*, one of whom among many claimed to support AOC for this position, to rally the Dems behind her. I might be wrong about the authority within the Democratic Party, there are too many chambers and chairs.

    This is such a disappointment. I have very little money, but I’ve donated to several Democrats this cycle. I don’t know everything that goes on behind closed doors either though.

    Regardless, AOC gets all of my donations going forward.

    We Need Change Now.

29. Country is cooked. These old fucks just can’t let go. It’s pathological at this point. Pelosi probably loves trump as president secretly. Probably good for her bank account.

30. Glad to see the senior democrat leadership has learned fuck all in the last month

31. Fuck pelosi and oligarchs even the dem ones. Theyre stains.

32. He’s perfect for the role then.

33. They’re about to force progressives out of the Democratic Party. How can I vote for the status quo just because the other side is bad? There’s no hope without striking down Citizens United

34. Pelosi has never had a real job in her entire life. She has only known politics and is addicted. Her father was mayor of Baltimore and has been a staffer her whole career. She has learned how to scam the system. It’s deplorable. She is a deplorable

35. All of this just gives fodder to the “both sides are the same” crowd. Coem on, Democrats, you couldn’t predict the optics of this appointment? You didn’t comprehend how it just makes you look like republicans?
