The Thread of Democrats

[Sean Hayden]

I’m still feeling better about our chances. Maybe I’ve just succumb to the bubble.

[Sean Hayden]

Go home you’re drunk democrats. Voting isn’t enough.

[Brian Peacock]

Think national, act local.

Give up and drink more, that's my motto.

No worries. In two years we will have chewed up Trump. DeSantis squeaks through to presidency. House and Senate both go to Democrats. 4 years of "little trump."

One of the Democratic politicians most hated by red hats and other fascist dudes is stepping down from leadership of the Democratic caucus in the US House of Representatives. She will be a hard act to follow.

'Pelosi, first woman speaker, to depart Dem leadership in seismic shift'

Nancy Pelosi, one of the most powerful speakers in modern U.S. history, will cede the helm of House Democratic leadership after 20 years and take on an unfamiliar role: Rank-and-file member.

Since she reclaimed the top gavel in 2018, the first woman speaker — whose legislative prowess has powered her party’s agenda under four presidents — planned to give it up after this term. Yet her decision became more complicated, she has said, by the brutal assault of her husband Paul last month.

“I will not seek reelection to Democratic leadership in the next Congress,” Pelosi said to a packed chamber that remained pin-drop silent as members took in her decision.

Then Democrats’ better-than-expected midterm election prompted personal pleas for her to stay from the president and Senate majority leader.

But in a floor speech attended by nearly every member of her Democratic caucus, including plenty of teary allies, Pelosi declared it was time for a “new generation” of leaders. Clad in stark white, the color of suffragists and her hue of choice for critical moments, the California Democrat delivered her farewell speech within a chamber where she has been a part of Washington’s biggest moments for decades.

Good for her.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, time for some new, younger blood to take charge. Someone in their 70s.

Democrats in Washington suck. They’re old and ineffective.

Think national, act local.

Think rational, and let the local loonies go to town you mean?

Give up and drink more, that's my motto.

Who needs to give up on whatever? just drink.
