a lot of that is indictment of the party's true platform and its infrastructure and lol if you think bad dems won't offer up one of their peers to continue the russia-style incompetent opposition party schtick they're being paid for

Agreed, but since pelosi is a part of that infrastructure and saw the dems get rekt and decided that this is fine gently caress her.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

so it'll change absolutely nothing because the amount of effort they had to put in isn't even a tenth of a percent of the russian mob allowance they're getting

there are more rewarding squabbles than this, like DCCC only backing people if they parrot milquetoast or right-wing policy

At some point in the early 2000s a member of the Duma argued that measures to reduce state corruption would inevitably backfire.

He unironically argued that the current corrupt establishment should be left alone, because it's embezzling less after having been sated. You see, replacing any corrupt officials would only serve to reset the embezzling rate to default levels and make everything worse.

This is what this talk of "well, anyone that replaces Pelosi would be just as lovely" is reminding me of.

the democrats are too retarded to make every election a referendum on Paul Ryan, a broadly hated imbecile with unpopular and cruel politics.

instead they fantasize about the GOP house leadership joining #teh #resistants and impeaching trump for RUSSIAAAAAA

if politics is war then you need to cashier your old-guard generals if they don't measure up. that's how we got eisenhower who was an obscure colonel in 1941. also ulysses s. grant.

Pelosi pushed the party too far left and moved too fast on PPACA. That's why Democrats got smoked in 2010 and we lost a ton of sensible moderate lawmakers like Jason Altmire.

We need a no-nonsense Minority leader with a keen eye for winning over moderate and conservative voters in swing districts.
