    Typical Republican. Doesn’t have the courage to face down the people he fucks over.

    Don’t tell me he’s not a Republican. It doesn’t matter what he claims to be. His purpose is what he does, and he serves the oligarchs.

    The lie is that we have a two-party system. We have the same illusion of choice with elected officials as our choice of groceries. Lots of different options, all owned by the same corporate interests.

    We don’t want to threaten him, we want to tell him to fuck off into retirement. Threats just make politicians go turtle.

    I listened to his long form interview this weekend on “The Daily” / NY Times. He’s a smug, overconfident POS. He kept saying how great he’s done in the past leading the party to gain seats in the Senate, etc. And how he’s the one who knows what to do.

    First of all, GREAT FUCKING JOB, Chuck. Your leadership has led to the Republicans taking control of all branches of government. Wow, I’m really impressed by your strategy. Secondly, you acknowledge that this time is different, but you want to rely on strategies you’ve used in the past. Way to think outside the box.

    He also was saying some really weird stuff about antisemitism. Like, it’s ok to criticize the Israeli government, but if you call someone a Zionist, that’s antisemitic. And that Hamas committed atrocities (true), but basically refuses to say that Israel is revisiting those atrocities ten times over on the Palestinians.

    He overall sounded completely out of touch, unwilling or unable to adapt to a changing political landscape, and just completely complacent and ineffective.

    So, it’s beyond time that he needs to go. Just like Pelosi needed to go.

      Let’s not forget to give credit where due to Biden for waiting so damned long to step aside. There really needs to be an age cap on elected office.
