Wait NVM she's not running for her mom's seat, she's running for state senate. I generally don't think family dynasty politics are a good thing, but I also don't know anything about her. I guess that's not quite as infuriating as it could be?

Christine Pelosi passes on bid for retiring mother’s House seat

It is important people know that before she announced she was stepping down, Pelosi was already being challenged by a progressive who has proven he won't just go along with mainstream media spin.

I can't vote for him, but California, this seems like it could be your chance to take a step towards actually getting the control of your state out of the hands of big business "progressives" and "liberals."

AOC's former campaign manager who made CNN so uncomfortable by refusing to drop the subject and asking them to just please acknowledge reality. The host chuckled nervously and cut to a commercial break. Seems like an obvious choice.

CNN Cuts Off Pelosi Primary Challenger’s Discussion of NSPM-7

Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive organizer who is challenging US Rep. Nancy Pelosi for the House seat she has held since 1987, was met with stone-faced stares and laughter on CNN when he spoke during a panel discussion Monday about the Trump administration national security memo that one journalist said amounts to a “declaration of war” on the president’s political opponents.

“Do you think that’s okay?” he asked the other panelists. “Can you put two and two together about what’s going on here?”

None of the other guests responded, and Seat looked blankly at Chakrabarti before Sidner said the show was going to a commercial break.

“We will answer that question, coming up,” Sidner said, laughing. “We’re going to leave it there for that conversation.”

The Democrats, left? As someone not living in the US, to me, Democrats are just a light right wing party. At best they might be considered centrists, but left?! Sorry for your "choices".

FPTP means de facto 2 party system.

The democraric party is really just an uneasy coalition between many different parties in a big trench coat labeled "Democratic Party", pragmatic leftists are usually in the Democraric party, but not all Democrats are on the "left".

It's crazy that the Republicans are like the one far right party in most European countries and Democrats are like all other parties combined.

Yuuuuup. It's brutal over here.

And just when I thought that bitch would die, here comes another establishment crook to prevent progress of promising folks like Jasmine and AOC. Republicans are disgusting, but dems are almost as bad. Another Pelosi? Yuck!

I'm on your side, but let's not say bitch. There are better words to describe your disdain with Nancy Pelosi.

[–] Turret3857 3 points 6 days ago

In fact, let's just not say anything if you dont have anything nice to say at all. After all, thats how we beat Trump.

You know what's funny? The people who downvoted you for this comment are the same exact people who turn around and complain about misogyny in society.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And you know what? Those same leftists will elect her, defend her, and then complain about the lack of progress.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think you mean liberals. It should be crystal clear by now that liberals were never leftists.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Fair point, leftist just complain and day dream about mythical revolutions on the internet, liberals actually go out and vote.

Fucking political nepo babies.

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We need a constitutional amendment forbidding members of one's immediate family from running for office once one is above a certain level of success. President is right out. Include the VP, of course. I'd say that Speaker of the House is well within the power tier at which your family should no longer be able to maintain a multi-generational grip on power.

Dear leftist in San Francisco, you have a good option. Saikat Chakrabarti. Don't let the nation down. If the people that made Trump, Gulliani, Bloomberg, & Cuomo can deliver, so can you.

She's 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This IS a retirement plan... best benefits in the entire country, very little actual work, tons of grifting opportunities and best of all, zero accountability... what is the electorate going to do? vote for Maga?
