The Department of Defense/Pentagon shouldn't be all that involved with veterans--they're going to focus on Defense. We should create a separate department to handle the affairs of veterans.

It's not actually, because I think you are confused and thinking he's referring to Paul Ryan. He's talking about Tim Ryan, a much more centrist conservative Democrat who challenged Pelosi for the speaker's gavel and lost.

Turns out there’s actually more options in this world other than “let Dems be bad” and “let other people be worse” It’s easier to just shrug and go “better things aren’t possible” though

I did so specifically so I could then post said picture on my social media and make the "we are merely exchanging long protein strings" joke He seemed barely there and was wheelchair bound. His wife was still running around like it was nobodies business though.

Like, I'll agree with anyone that Pelosi has utterly failed to adequately use her power to hold the administration accountable, but I take some real personal insult to I and others being referred to as "the centrist brigade" when we were arguing against the literal centrist brigade.

"Liberal" is the mainstream of the democratic establishment, "centrist" refers to the "third way" types - the right wing of the democratic party. The current overton window is skewed so far right that "liberals" would be at home with the loving torries in the UK.

"Hey, a party leader sucks" is met immediately "nu-uh, the only possible option is further to the right so suck it up." It's a bad look. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I was referring specifically to the discussion from about a year and a half back that internet wizard was referencing, which was when a lot of discussions around replacing Pelosi were going around. Several people, including myself, defended Pelosi from the standpoint that the only organized opposition at the time was coming from the right. You can attack Pelosi all you want and a lot of the time I'll even agree with you (loving christ at appointing Donna Shalala over Katie Porter to the watchdog committee), I just object strenuously to being referred to as "the centrist brigade" in reference to that particular argument.
