What went wrong for House Democrats when they were supposed to pick up seats?

I’m giving you an honest account of what I’m hearing from my own constituents, which is that they are extremely frustrated by the message of defunding the police and banning fracking. And I, as a Democrat, am just as frustrated. Because those things aren’t just unpopular, they’re completely unrealistic, and they aren’t going to happen. And they amount to false promises by the people that call for them.

If someone in your family makes their living in some way connected to natural gas, whether on the pipeline itself, or you know, even in a restaurant that serves natural gas workers, this isn’t something to joke around about or be casual about in your language.

That’s what we’re trying to say: that the rhetoric and the policies and all that stuff — it has gone way too far. It needs to be dialed back. It needs to be rooted in common sense, in reality, and yes, politics. Because we need districts like mine to stay in the majority and get something done for the people that we care about the most.

Let’s take that issue. Joe Biden did not support defunding the police. Almost all the members of the Democratic Congress, even folks like Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, came out against it. What is the party supposed to do that it didn’t?

I think we can do it much more clearly and repetitively and show it with our actions. We need to have a unified Democratic message about good law enforcement and how to keep people safe, while addressing the systemic racism that I do believe exists and the racial inequities that absolutely do exist. And when we passed the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act, that’s exactly what we did.

But the people that I was on the phone with, when we were passing that at the time, were not the freshmen members who are criticizing us today. It was Karen Bass and Cedric Richmond and Colin Allred — and I was listening to them. And, you know, pretty much most of our moderate conservative Democrats all voted for that bill. We listened, we compromised and we got something done. And that’s what this job is really about.

It might be toothless but this, alongside AOC's initial abstention from voting for Pelosi, does mean that they're afraid of us now

ive warmed up to the take that it was orchestrated to have bush/lee/aoc propel pelosi over the finish line as a symbolic gesture of unity and demonstration of ultimate obeisance to mama bear so they could do another yas kween rolling stone cover together.

if it was a performative gesture against pelosi they would've actually voted present/against nancy and forced a second ballot since the repubs didn't have an outright majority to win on the first ballot no matter what the dems did.

it's basically the ultimate gently caress you top 10 anime betrayal in every possible way to the FTV crew.

They all made a mistake voting for Pelosi. She's poo poo at her job for about a billion reasons both ideological and just what is best for the party and AOC's statement was cringe and very dumb. NTM voting against her would have showed that they had power as a group. A missed opportunity.

People who didn't vote for Pelosi:
  • most republicans
  • Connor Lamb D PA-17)
  • Jared Golden (D ME-2)
  • Mikie Sherrill (D NJ-11)
  • Elissa Slotkin (D MI-8)
  • Abigail Spanberger (D VA-7)
  • Alcee Hastings (D FL-20)

Pelosi didn't whip these members because it might hurt their reelection chances. The Democrat leadership wants to protect their right flank and demoralize the left faction.

either that, or we believe AOC when she says that if she didn't vote for Pelosi then these people would vote for a GOP speaker. Which raises the question of why they are in the Democrats.

like who cares is a Republican becomes Speaker - according to all these jagoffs M4A isn't happening anyway

if you can :airquote: organize :airquote: so hard that you can pressure a Rep to vote for M4A just from the fear of having people piss and poo poo on their lawn and threaten them with bodily harm, you can still do that to Republican reps

if the only way to get to M4A is by armed revolution to overthrow the government of the United $$$nakes of AmeriKKKa, then it doesn't matter who the Speaker is

if you need to get a simple majority of Justice Democrat, DSA-endorsed progressives into House seats to get a successful vote on M4A, that won't happen for the next two years, so again, it doesn't matter who the Speaker is

sure and if they're doing secret deals in exchange for doing dumb poo poo in public they should be adults and take the criticism for their dumb poo poo in public.


its absolutely insane to pretend we just ignore the information we have and instead assume the politicians are secretly doing what is best
