WHY would ANYONE think it’s Wise to Challenge 85 Year Old Nancy Pelosi? She’s a SPRY CHICKEN!
-The DNC!
By golly, this sounds like it could be her chance this time to run for President!
Chakrabarti, a 39-year-old former tech worker and multi-millionaire, is best known as the former chief of staff to New York City Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who drew national attention after defeating 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley in 2018.
Among other priorities, Chakrabarti supports guaranteeing health care for all, making public colleges and trade schools tuition-free, taxing billionaires, banning the revolving door between Congress and the lobbying industry, prohibiting Congress members from trading stocks, and turning PG&E into a public utility to lower people’s utility bills.
There’s a lot in the list that @soupbrick@pawb.social posted that makes him an interesting competitor… ESPECIALLY the revolving lobbyist door, and the stock trading issue…that’s the kind of stuff that really should be dealt with.
