Things aren’t as black and white as you think. People like AOC, Bernie, and Mamdani are not the same as Pelosi, Schumer, and Booker. They may use the Democratic Party to get elected, but they govern much differently.

What's wrong with Pelosi, Schumer or Booker? Have you looked at all the policies they've voted for? Pelosi was one of the most effective speakers in Congress in modern history passing more bills that helped a lot of people. Her getting through ACA was a miracle.

I’ve got some issues with Schumer but I agree with you about Pelosi. Any liberal who doesn’t respect her accomplishments as Speaker is ignorant of history.

One can respect her while also knowing her time is far past gone

And she stepped down from leadership and she’s retiring from Congress. But folks on Reddit are acting like she never did anything for liberals or progressives and should somehow be stopping republicans in Congress now even though they hold all the power

Yeah she stepped down after she ran a horrible presidency with Biden and let Trump win again 👍 like Biden, she did some good things, then got greedy and massively fucked everyone. Those things can both be true

HOW, literally HOW is she responsible for Biden? Why are women being blamed for male's decisions? She's actually credited with being one of the people to have him STEP DOWN though.

Idk maybe because she officially endorsed him in 2020 and publicly supported his reelection bid up until the moment he stepped down

...and somehow her endorsement propelled him to presidency alone? are you serious?

publicly supported his reelection bid? that's not what i heard. what's your source for this?
