reminder that lynch is the elitist prick who yelled at one of his own constituents that he decides what’s important
House Dem Oversight story mostly a farce now. Connolly hasn't said when he'll go so Ds defer on any Qs about replacing him. Non-AOC young Dems keep campaigning (Garcia, Crockett) but the math says Lynch wins.
In meantime, the face of Dem Oversight is an old, ailing man who can't do media hits.
this is a perfect encapsulation of the dysfunction that is downstream of a party apparatus controlled by factionalist freaks with no core beliefs other than “i should be in charge.” entire party needs to be rebuilt from the foundations
anyway fondly remembering people who insisted the party was improving and leadership was turning over because nancy pelosi engineered raskin’s rapid rise to a leadership position despite it not being his turn
May 7, 2025 13:41i keep in mind a lot that pelosi was willing to skip 'seniority first' when it came to flipping the bird at markey for JKIII, a guy who couldn't even tell you why he wanted to be in office. for whom and why they skip past seniority is always very telling!
nadler was passed over for a seat, despite being senior for it. he is also somebody who pissed off pelosi by constantly pushing for impeachment and pelosi in no uncertain terms telling that whole coalition and their demand to fuck off.
This is not a swingset or water fountain where everyone “waits their turn” FFS.
