That’s why Pelosi chose them, specially over AOC. She’s the other side of the US oligarchy, the one that’s ok with the slice of cake they have now and don’t want to push the US into a complete dictatorship just to try to get more. She’s one of the people in the democratic party that’s most abusing federal insider trading and conflicts of interests.
The new and improved democratic party is back in business everyone!

He’s also recently announced that he’s undergoing chemotherapy for esophagus cancer, which has a very low survival rate. It’s bad enough that the DNC will only allow corrupt geriatrics to hold the levers of power, but could they at least have found one that wasn’t actively dying?
Esophageal cancer only has a very low survival rate in the late stages. If caught early it’s about 50%
In general, the prognosis of esophageal cancer is quite poor, because most patients present with advanced disease. By the time the first symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing) appear, the disease has already progressed. The overall five-year survival rate (5YSR) in the United States is around 15%, with most people dying within the first year of diagnosis.
A few days ago, I learned I joined the ranks of millions of Americans. I have cancer of the esophagus. It was a surprise because, except for some intermittent abdominal aches and pains, I had no symptoms.
So, I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like he’s showing early symptoms, he only has a 15% or living more than 5 years, and he’s more likely than not to die within the next year. But even if you’re right, a 74-year-old, who is undergoing chemotherapy and has a coin-flip chance of survival, is leading one of the most important committees in Congress.
I’m not trying to be cruel to the guy; cancer sucks and it’s awful he’s going through this. But given how narrow the Republican lead is in the House, it’s irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes. The Oversight Committee is going to be incredibly important for investigating the Trump administration, and having the top Democrat on the panel be a man going through serious health issues is insane.
“irresponsible you say? 😏” - Dem leadership
Ah, so if you catch it early it’s a coin flip? Nice.
Fucking of course he did. Jesus christ.
This is why I say that the DNC is fully dead. AOC and the rest of the young progressives in Congress need to just get with Sanders and straight up found a new party. This is so fucking dumb.
I was thinking that Trump was going to be the end of the Republican party, and the Democrats would pick up the slightly reasonable conservative position. Instead Trump made the Democratic party if playing to the right a farce and maybe that’ll end the Democratic party. I’m curious to see where things go. It seems like one of the two have to collapse eventually.
Founding a new party would make them Jill Stein. Nobody wants more Jill Stein.
Those of you with Dem congressmen, write in and tell them you want AOC. They’re the ones responsible for this shit. Don’t make dumb threats about the general, but you can absolutely consider primaries. Your vote goes farther in the primary. That’s where the difference can be made.
He says, after the Dems just had a presidential candidate that did not even run in the primaries.
No, a new party is 100% the way to go, though it shouldn’t be hostile to the dems, e.g. not running for president until they have more congressman and senators then the Dems to avoid splitting the vote.
Money. You need the DNC money. It’s easier than more fundraising. Like activating voters instead of switching them. Make your life easier.
Ahhh, never mind. I had a strange idea that clinging to the carcass of the democratic party failed. No idea where I got that from. Looking forward to all the improvements the next 4 years will bring the US, since DNC money saved the day.
We can thank Nancy Pelosi and her boomer wisdom for this.
The fewer boomers in Congress, the better.
At this point, I’d say on planet earth.
This is coming from someone dealing with their boomer parents right now.
Is she even a boomer or silent generation? Not sure about her exact age but I think Hitler was winning the war when she was born.
Boomer is a state of mind.
Eat my ass Nancy Pelosi
I hope she trips again, and this time, never gets up again.
It should be illegal to own stocks as a Senator.
Honestly, at this point we just need to dissolve the US in its entirety. I no longer believe it can be saved. We need to grant all 50 states full independence. They can then come back together and form whatever new nation or nations they want. The existing union is broken beyond all repair. It can no longer be salvaged.
What actually happens if the Union splits is that corporate interests start buying states. If you think we live in a cyberpunk dystopia now, just imagine what would happen if Amazon owned Mississippi through Georgia.
I like where your head is at, but that’s a terrible idea that will just lead to all the Red States going full jihad on “others”
Biden could premptively pardon every American for choosing to secede if they want to and we can just end it now with no repercussions or violence.
Biden could…
He won’t.
Right? It’s fully within Biden’s power to stop Trump from taking office because he has a duty to protect the constitution.
But he would need a spine for that.
A bit dramatic there.
Why should the Nazi fucks in Texas drag down people trying to live their lives in California or NY?
Shame she wasn’t at home with her husband.
So an unsurprising pick for the “good” party.
So, they meet the qualifications. Got it.
Dems do insider trading, Reps do rape. Nice people.
And both of them fuck you over and over.
On top of being 74 and one month fresh off a throat cancer diagnosis…
Edit:
He announced it the day after he won the election, it would be a huge coincidence if that’s the day he received, he more likely just his it from voters…
Fucking hope motherfucker dies screaming. The Democratic Party is done.
You couldn’t write this and have someone think it was realistic.
What the actual fuck DNC? Pelosi? Corrupt pieces of shit just protecting themselves
Being in the senate and congress will become increasingly a status symbol and effective tool for getting health care for oneself and one’s family. Otherwise it will be about as useful as it was during the slow slide from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire. But being America it will happen much faster.
I have an idea:
- get people who desperately need health insurance together
- elect one of them for Congress
- they perform the minimum amount of days needed to get health insurance for life
- resign
- Governor sets special election
- next person runs for office
- repeat until everyone has insurance
They’ve really streamlined the process.
Well, that’s why he’s qualified.
Why do you think he was Pelosi’s pick? lmao, that evil greedy power hungry bitch
I’m gonna vote so much harder now. /s
