Nothing good ever happens so I'm assuming she'll get in somehow probably with the help of Sanders or something.

I'm banking on Sinema continuing to copy Manchin and killing Neera's nomination off once and for all. Bernie will likely stay quiet.

Neera will blame Bernie on Twitter once it's all over.

Sorry I know Neera's a poo poo but I don't know why beyond bad tweeting. Could someone please throw out a TLDR of her ghoulish past.

Her career was laundering corporate and foreign money under a "progressive" front to push neolib policies. She was paid $400k/yr to do this and has been consistently hostile to actual progressives

Oh also she's basically Hillary Clinton's pet.

She's even scarier than Pete himself if I'm being honest about it. Genuine throat-cutting amoral ladder climber.

Honestly what the gently caress is up with Tanden supporters. At worst she is just not gonna be in the WH admin but still have cushy think tank jobs. Why the gently caress would you give a poo poo which high paying job she is gonna get.

I can’t even put myself in the shoes of the type of person that would get angry about this.

It's 90% people emotionally attached to the success of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. They're well past saving at this point.

is it just someone you hate?

Trotskyism is when you sequence break Marxism by running into a wall until your character's speed builds up incredibly high and you glitch through a closed door, skipping the entire late-stage capitalism level and going straight to full communism.

Unfortunately this little trick also fucks up your save file.

the number one worst possible lesson they could have taken from the Trump admin is "keep people whining about whatever culture-war bullshit will distract them from actually asking for money"

The fact that Biden thinks that there is a constituency that cares about what job Neera gets is why his presidency is going to be a failure.

Yeah they're called donors

The donors in question do because they've specifically been giving CAP millions of dollars to get on her good side

They aren't trying to get on HER good side, they are trying to get on whatever parton she had at the time's good side be it the Clinton's or Obama or some other DNC ghoul. She's just a staffer. If she had her own constituency she would have run for something.

Lmao she's not just a staffer. She runs CAP, which has significant influence on the democratic party and is essentially a tool for laundering corporate donations into policy goals. She personally helped draft the affordable care act under Obama. She's extremely close with Hillary Clinton and has been for decades--she was Hillary's legislative director. She was also, until a couple hours ago, going to be in charge of the White House budget, which is a pretty big deal. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Vox Nihili
May 28, 2008

mcmagic posted:

She has never made policy. She worked for people like Hillary Clinton and did what they told her to, even as the head of CAP. The reason she's on every different sides of every issue is not because she changes her mind, it's because she is working for someone different. Even working for Biden, she was going to do what Biden wanted, not make any policy herself just like whoever replaces her.

The idea that Biden is making policy decisions and issuing orders on every single matter rather than being told what to do by his multitude of "experts" is also nonsense. The people who surround the President matter just as much as the President, especially when the President is a feeble-minded old fool. Getting Neera that role was valuable to a lot of people.

Sinema also tapped McConnell on the back and made sure he was watching before she went to cast her vote. Really bizarre all around. I assume it's the kind of behavior only extremely ambitious people believe is "normal."
