Odd the way these things are presented as either/or strategies, although I can’t dispute the presumption that 95% of Congressional Dems (and 100% of the #FossilCaucus leadership) can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
Please, Pelosi sucks. She's presided over the hollowing out of middle class... the loss of statehouses, etc etc thankful she understands that she wouldn't prevail in the upcoming primary challenge. Corporate Democrats suck! Good riddance Nancy! For fucks sake stop lionizing criminals. She made tens of millions trading off confidential information, betraying American trust and abusing her office. She deserves to spend the rest of her short life behind bars, and deserves to be shamed. I wish the Democratic Party wasn't so spineless.
Wild that these comments are hidden.
Nothing like putting the thumb on the scale to whitewash the legacy of the #FossilCaucus
Like most of the #FossilCaucus
Let’s see @schumer.senate.gov and @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social and @hoyer.house.gov all do the same
Let’s see @schumer.senate.gov follow suit by end of business.
The #FossilCaucus needs to go.
Maybe the #FossilCaucus is finally seeing the writing on the wall…
#FossilCaucus is right. All of them must go!
#FossilCaucus - that's a good description
You live to see the #FossilCaucus getting run out of town…
The Dems’ allegiance to their #FossilCaucus is destroying the party.
I believe they are still down seats in the house because of people dying in office including a 70 something “freshman” rep.
the term #fossilcaucus is exactly appropriate, and it must be retired.
Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and the #FossilCaucus must resign.
The DSCC isn't reading the room. Democrats want a progressive party.
The DNC won't support Zohran Mamdani, but is happy to support Andrew Cuomo, a corrupt, alleged sex offender who resigned in disgrace.
Yeah. The #FossilCaucus still sucks and needs to be run out of town on a rail.
F this Boomer blowing bullsh*t.
The #FossilCaucus (of both parties, but particularly the Dems who plainly hate their up-and-comers) exists solely for its own hubris and personal enrichment.
Best of luck Zohran Mamdani! You are a breath of fresh air and the right man for the moment.
Cuomo needs to be put out to pasture with Democrats' #FossilCaucus
LOL… yes, I questioned you parroting typical deflections.
And you *still* can’t even bring yourself to conceive of holding bad politicians accountable for losing elections.
The #FossilCaucus appreciate your credulous belief in their finger pointing excuses
There you go, blaming the people who run for office for losing their elections.
The Democratic #FossilCaucus can’t have any of that; the party never fails, the people fail the party.
Serious question: at what point *is* the Democratic Party and its feckless #FossilCaucus leadership responsible for their electoral failures?
It’s always NPR’s fault. Or the NYT. Or Susan Sarandon. Or Mercury in retrograde.
Where is the accountability for the people who ran the losing campaigns?
Twenty-one percent of voters approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 70 percent disapprove. This compares to Quinnipiac University's February 19 poll when 21 percent of voters approved and 68 percent disapproved, an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first asked this question of registered voters in March 2009. In today's poll, 41 percent of Democrats approve of the way Democrats in Congress are handling their job, while 53 percent disapprove.
The Dem #FossilCaucus should take note, considering they’re so terrible at opposing literal fascists that they have a -10 favorability with *their own voters* and poll at 20%, overall.
You listening, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?
And they’re still blaming everyone but the #FossilCaucus that used their power to help donors over voters.
Meanwhile, the Dems find themselves at 20% approval, total, and 10 points underwater with their own voters, unable to make themselves stand out against literal fascists.
Once again: fuck the Dems’ #FossilCaucus
Meanwhile, Dem #FossilCaucus Leadership:
“We have to reach new, young, working-class voters without offering them any changes that would inconvenience our millionaire donors…”
Where the hell is Gen-X and why didn’t they ever take the wheel?
Skipping an entire generation of leadership is not in and of itself an insult, but I cannot help but wonder why the #fossilcaucus never got replaced by Gen-X.
Far more kind than the #FossilCaucus deserves.
But now he’ll be AgEiSt among every other fabricated accusation the establishment Dems use to justify donating to Eric #SleazyE Adams…
100%
The Dems’ #FossilCaucus only maintains power as long as they can say “who else are you gonna vote for?”
The diaper-filling of the DNC #FossilCaucus is amazing…
“B-b-but we can’t just spend millions and parrot racist AIPAC nonsense, anymore?!
We need ideas?!?”
The #FossilCaucus will put their entitled egos ahead of the citizens every. Goddamn. Time.
Reality check: Many Democratic Party leaders had believed Mamdani's past comments would be disqualifying to most primary voters. They were wrong.
Translation: The #FossilCaucus thought voters would buy AIPAC’s tired smears in defense of genocide.
They were wrong.
