That’s why Pelosi chose them, specially over AOC. She’s the other side of the US oligarchy, the one that’s ok with the slice of cake they have now and don’t want to push the US into a complete dictatorship just to try to get more. She’s one of the people in the democratic party that’s most abusing federal insider trading and conflicts of interests.
Seriously. She’s just a smarter oligarch than Trump. She’s smart enough to realize that keeping a flawed and corrupt democracy is better than no democracy at all. She realizes there’s no real point in having wealth if you and yours have to live in some totalitarian shithole. And also, wealth tends to be very vulnerable to arbitrary confiscation in authoritarian regimes. Trump is an oligarch, but he’s just stupid and prideful enough to think that he and his will always remain at the peak of the pyramid, and that autocracy will work in his favor.
She’s smart enough to realize that keeping a flawed and corrupt democracy is better than no democracy at all.
Playing Jenga with my democracy, smugly certain I won’t be the one who pulls the last block.
She’s one of the ones we need to eat imo
She is smart enough to make sure the democracy remains flawed and corrupt.
He is smart in that sense. He will be dead and gone. If he ever did love anyone he’ll be sure to tell them fuck you, too, because the man hasn’t felt joy since maybe being a small child.
The fact that we need to check for a D or R next to this person’s record just tells you that emphatically the two parties lines have been increasingly blurred.
Pelosi and all other geriatric politicians need to retire
more like these scammers should be jailed. only good thing that trump would do in his presidency is to send doj after them, but pelosi might already have made a deal with him.
He’s also recently announced that he’s undergoing chemotherapy for esophagus cancer, which has a very low survival rate. It’s bad enough that the DNC will only allow corrupt geriatrics to hold the levers of power, but could they at least have found one that wasn’t actively dying?
Esophageal cancer only has a very low survival rate in the late stages. If caught early it’s about 50%
In general, the prognosis of esophageal cancer is quite poor, because most patients present with advanced disease. By the time the first symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing) appear, the disease has already progressed. The overall five-year survival rate (5YSR) in the United States is around 15%, with most people dying within the first year of diagnosis.
A few days ago, I learned I joined the ranks of millions of Americans. I have cancer of the esophagus. It was a surprise because, except for some intermittent abdominal aches and pains, I had no symptoms.
So, I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like he’s showing early symptoms, he only has a 15% or living more than 5 years, and he’s more likely than not to die within the next year. But even if you’re right, a 74-year-old, who is undergoing chemotherapy and has a coin-flip chance of survival, is leading one of the most important committees in Congress.
I’m not trying to be cruel to the guy; cancer sucks and it’s awful he’s going through this. But given how narrow the Republican lead is in the House, it’s irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes. The Oversight Committee is going to be incredibly important for investigating the Trump administration, and having the top Democrat on the panel be a man going through serious health issues is insane.
“irresponsible you say? 😏” - Dem leadership
Ah, so if you catch it early it’s a coin flip? Nice.
That’s pretty good for cancer

You couldn’t write this and have someone think it was realistic.
What the actual fuck DNC? Pelosi? Corrupt pieces of shit just protecting themselves
Sounds like a perfect match for that shithead pelosi.
So an unsurprising pick for the “good” party.
You know I thought it was low effort cringe when I first heard “demacrips and rebloodpicans” in a body count song, but Im starting to like it more by the day
Why do you think he was Pelosi’s pick? lmao, that evil greedy power hungry bitch
We can thank Nancy Pelosi and her boomer wisdom for this.
The fewer boomers in Congress, the better.
Is she even a boomer or silent generation? Not sure about her exact age but I think Hitler was winning the war when she was born.
Boomer is a state of mind.
At this point, I’d say on planet earth.
This is coming from someone dealing with their boomer parents right now.
I’m gonna vote so much harder now. /s
“The fact that you didn’t vote hard enough means he had to run and he had to violate federal laws! Is nothing good enough for you progressives?!”
No wonder Pelosi liked him.
So, they meet the qualifications. Got it.
Dems do insider trading, Reps do rape. Nice people.
Let’s be fair here. Reps do both insider trading and rape.
They call it “just business” and “she wanted it”
And both of them fuck you over and over.
The new and improved democratic party is back in business everyone!
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

BuT iT wAs HiS tUrN!
Phew, can you imagine these guys winning the presidency?
Wait… they’re the good ones!?
They are mostly corporate neoliberal centrists. There are very few actual liberals or progressives left in the Democratic Party. They can’t deliver on any meaningful legislation because it always gets shot down by the Republicans or even their own party.
