I think Pelosi is sharper than that. She knows how to get under Trump's skin. But yes, she knows how the political "machine" works. Even if you don't like that machine, it's there and better to have someone who can steer it into a position where it may be possible to fix or replace it later on. Otherwise, it's like kicking the wheels of a big truck, thinking one day that will make it collapse.
If AOC she was white, cri the crude racial essentialist would be calling her a wrecker/trump-enabler/nazi who is 'intent on destroying the party'. Trust me.

See, according to "received wisdom," because I think Pelosi is the right person to be in the job she's in right now, I'm supposed to hate Ocasio-Cortez. I'm certainly not supposed to be saying she's cleverly getting people talking about issues that otherwise probably would have stayed on the margins, and this will contribute to the Democratic party's progression and (if we ever get beyond the Trump hellhole shit) make a positive difference to America and the world. No, old people and young people aren't supposed to understand each other or work together, and women in senior positions have to be backstabbing each other. It's the way of the world, right?
I think Now This got over excited with this clip, but good on her for getting involved.
She's not taking any shit off Trump today, for example. Oh, but the laydeeees aren't supposed do that, gosh gee!
I'm saying you've bought into the bullshit that women in positions of power are bitchy to each other. You can't seem to wrap your head around the idea that Pelosia and Ocasio-Cortez, could be working toward broadly similar goals, and using their differing positions, perspectives and political approaches to do that. Naw, they have to be clawing each others eyes out, sure.
Fuck me, are you my therapist? What a load of waffle. This idea that you're proposing, apart from your feeeelings, where is the evidence that they are working towards common goals? Using common methods? What is their common ground apart from the fact that they're both nominally Dems? You got nothing fuckwit, nothing. Wrap your head around that.I'm saying you've bought into the bullshit that women in positions of power are bitchy to each other.

Yes, and all manner of vile cunts write for the NYT. So what? As far as I can tell you've not added a single thing except your hot take.
Just flagging this again. It's unusual to appoint so many newly elected Congress men and women to such an important committee, so very shrewd. And with Elijah Cummings leading up the Committee? They ain't gonna piss about.She's now on the House Oversight Committee, so she gets to be front and centre of any investigations into the Trump administration, as did Rashida Tlaib (the woman who said "impeach the motherfucker" at a speech).
I do skim them, but can never be arsed to click on a video. Works ninety-nine times out of a hundred
okay, that's my bad
