1/ The new congressional session begins today. Re-electing Pelosi will say to the country that it’s pretty much going to be business as usual, which to me is very sad. What a lost opportunity to burst out of the gate post-Trump with something new.

2/ New member progressive @MondaireJones on his plan to back Pelosi: “The question is: “Are you going to empower the Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, to which the answer is no.” Wow, they get to them fast don’t they? A line straight from a PR ad campaign if there ever was one.

I’m so tired of watching progressives get elected and getting my hopes up, we need a FIGHTER, someone who’s not afraid to ruffle a lil feathers and won’t call joe Biden there “friend” and Nancy Pelosi “mama bear”

What’s the alternative strategy, @marwilliamson?
Replying to @marwilliamson @MondaireJones
If we want a revolution, we have to strategize on all fronts. The momentum wasn’t there in the House, why aren’t y’all angrier at the other reps that we would have needed to pull this off with the squad?
Replying to @marwilliamson @MondaireJones
They disingenuously act like it’s a binary choice. The guy the GOP puts up or Pelosi. They figure we think the house works like the electoral college. “One has to win, it can’t be the Nazi it has to be the ice cream lady”. It could literally be any democrat they have the votes

They’ve learned of the efficacy of “do you want Trump??”gaslighting and are now using it nearly invariably, all they need is to fill in the right name instead of “Trump.” Cynical, effective, and utterly infuriating. We’ve lost them. They are bear cubs now.
Replying to @marwilliamson @MondaireJones
Fingers crossed for establishment Dems to shake up the establishment is fear of change, not leadership. BTW if Pelosi can’t get a majority, Kevin McCarthy sure as heck can’t. It’s a manipulative lie to suggest holding Pelosi accountable could create a GOP speaker. #ForceTheVote
