SpeakerHouse Minority Leader Jeffries
Is the last person to talk about billionaires and other things that shouldn’t exist:
Ben Wikler, Wisconsin Dem Party Chair who’s a front runner for DNC chair
Another hypocrite pretending to be against oligarchy while being backed by oligarchs
Ken Martin, Minnesota DFL Chair, also a front runner for DNC chair
This guy looks promising, but there’s little to no donor information readily available on him, so grounds for cautious optimism at best.
James Skoufis, NY 42nd District State Senator
Again little to no public donor disclosure, which is very ominous for a state Senator from NY of all states…
TL;DR: Dem leadership consists mainly of hypocrites who are as beholden to billionaires as their (much worse in almost all other aspects) fascist colleagues.
Democrats and the media need to stop acting like anyone cares about “muh norms”
That’s the thing, though: the Dem leadership and the billionaire owned establishment media care about 3 things above all else.
In ascending order of priority: norms, institutions, maximizing their own wealth and influence.
They pretend to care about truth, justice, fairness, dismantling the orphan crushing machine, and all that, but that’s mostly just a performance to gaslight the poors.
You’re 100% right about everything else, though.
Mere hours after Speaker Nancy Pelosi backed off the public option in a 2009 interview with CNN, a top UnitedHealthcare lobbyist sent out an email to various Washington insiders inviting them to a $2,400-per-person “event with Speaker Pelosi at my home.”
And people keep insisting on pretending that the Dem leadership cares about the working class 🤦🤬
Dem committees have an uncanny knack for confirming what everyone has known for a year and a half and then doing effectively nothing about it.
Still faster than the Garland DOJ, though.
If he thinks 93 to 3 and 76 to 20 is close, it’s probably time to step down and let someone who’s not a 74yo shill for fossil fuel interests get a say…
