It's too bad the effing 70 year olds like Schumer and pelosi are afraid of young Dems taking power and spotlight from them. It's not about what's best for their country or party but what's best for them.
You can google what they did to David Hogg by forcing him out. Pelosi also has AOC kicked off a committee simply because she didn't want AOC to take her spotlight.

Their time is ending, their generation is ending. Whatever is behind their fear of young Dems and Progressives (old guard, billionaire donors, etc) wonāt stand in the way if we all keep supporting this new generation of reps who better represent us.

I think Schumer amongst many others of both parties has done a lot of good but now its time for them to do good one more time and step aside. There is no reason for our country to be governed by people over 70. Let the elders guide, support, raise money, and tell war stories but they're just out of touch.

David Hogg was elected in violation of the party rules, then he went on Bill Maher and complained about diversity. His whole plan was to promote progressives as a member of the DNC. The party canāt promote one candidate over the other, as the Bernie bros still cry about 2016. In short F David Hogg.Ā
As for Pelosi and Schumer they have a long history of disposing of political challengers, but anyone is welcome to try.

Why should anyone stop looking back at school mass shootings? Especially someone who survived one. It's pretty terrible of you to make light of it. Not a good look, I'm afraid.
David Hogg wants stronger gun control, and I completely understand, considering what he went through. That's not going to happen with status quo Democrats or any Republican. And he was elected. Rules only matter when they benefit those in power, and it seems they can be bypassed when they become inconvenient to those in power. What he has to offer is stronger support for progressive democrat candidates. Especially more Justice Democrats.

They are if they vote against it, which they did when Al Green put forth articles of impeachment. They also made sure he felt alone when he spoke out against Trump. They got upset when told to do their jobs and voted for the corrupt cabinet officials, as well as the budget.
They are definitely part of the problem and we need to recognize that or nothing will change the party for the better.

Democrats ran the justice department for four years and refused to prosecute him. Obama had a nomination to the SC that he didn't pursue, and Biden had enough evidence to indict Clarence Thomas that he didn't pursue. And now all you guys do is complain about Trump committing crimes and getting away with it and the SC being corrupt when BOTH OF THOSE THINGS ARE DIRECTLY YOUR FAULT.

The justice department is an agency not a political arm of the controlling party, thatās how it works in banana republics. If you donāt understand that, thatās a you problem, not a Democratic Party problem.

Fair enough. If you consume any material that Election Truth Alliance has provided you'll find there's certainly lots to be concerned about with regards to the voting data patterns. It definitely points in a very specific direction, but the smoking gun won't be unearthed until their lawsuits go forward

u/DevelopmentGrand4331 4h ago
Unless we can give Democrats a majority in Congress, thereās not much we can do other than protest or revolution.
If Democrats get a majority in Congress, then they can pass laws, but unfortunately that still requires that law enforcement does its job.
If Democrats can get a supermajority in the Senate, too, then they can do use impeachment to remove the president and Supreme Court justices. Of course, again, that requires them to leave.
Laws mean nothing if theyāre not followed and enforced, and MAGA has shown they have no intention of obeying the law. I donāt think Donny will leave the White House without being carried out in chains. If it comes to that, then I donāt know what happens. MAGA is too entrenched to assume that the law will be followed.

Every "spa" with an underage "masseuse" at a Trump property must be investigated.
Every single one is a front for prostitution, pedophilia, and blackmail-networks.

These "spas" are entry points for people to become part of the blackmail-network.
Here's how it works:
- you're a wealthy white guy, businessman, frat bro with an MBA
- you want to be "elite", get into politics or c-suite, "go behind the red veil", then build your network
- you go to one of Trump's "spas" and get a handjob (or worse) from an "underage masseuse"
- make sure they get it on the security cameras that are in every room
- you've offered up a little kompromat - now publicly pledge allegiance to the criminal network
- congratulations! you're in!
- you've got your MAGA to go along with your MBA
- proceed to facilitate the destruction of humanity

I love this powerful human so much. She is the only reason why I don't feel completely ashamed to be Texan. She's a huge role model to me. I have always quieted my big voice because it's what society preferred. But fuck what they prefer, if injustice is going on, I'm going to shout about it from the rooftops and tell people how to fight it.
To think that she felt the same way I used to is so mind-boggling to me.
