@grapho
With lead donor beggar Pelosi being one of the backstabbers, I give this zero hope of being effective.
@rokkinbobokkin @grapho pelosi & Schumer both have to go. We're getting no where with boomers like them in charge. (full disclosure-i was born in late boomer range, but much greater affinity with millennials & younger-who are going to have to deal with the catastrophic effects of boomer actions/decisions)
@FayreLylith @grapho
My problem is where she dumps money. All that tons of goodwill from Act Blue citizens all over... And she blows millions on a moderate woman in Kentucky who was neck n neck with a progressive running on French fries and hope....dividing the base and wasting money, against McConnell. Insuring his seat.
Next up? Blowing millions to endorse an ANTI CHOICE DEM, under FBI investigation, to squash a progressive, pro choice woman.. who is still polling higher than him.
@rokkinbobokkin even giving pelosi and schumer the ultimate benefit of the doubt, the problem is that they came of age in an era when basic decency [if not actual integrity and honesty] was an inviolable norm in congress.
[remember the famous exclamation of joseph welch to joe mccarthy in 1954?
'Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?']
a bygone era.
@grapho @rokkinbobokkin an out of date era that no longer exists & is actively causing harm.
