Connolly secured his position on the pivotal Oversight Committee after leaders in the House Democratic caucus—most notably former Speaker Nancy Pelosi—backed Connolly’s bid over Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.
While other Democratic leaders have been fumbling for a response to Trump, the administration has been in a public feud with Ocasio-Cortez. Tom Homan, Trump’s handpicked immigration czar, has even called on the Department of Justice to investigate the congresswoman after she advised migrant communities of their constitutional rights.
In contrast to Connolly’s pro-compliance message, Ocasio-Cortez recently wrote, “America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.”
People lost their minds when I suggested the dems are at fault for losing so badly, not protest voters. It’s funny as hell thinking the old guard of the democratic party will ever become effective
Blaming the protest voters on the losses like blaming the immigrants on… Well, all the s*** that the GOP blaimd on the immigrants.
However, while the Democrats could have done A LOT more to win, I’m not entirely sure that things were counted correctly. They may even be complicit, can anyone come up with a reasonable answer as to why nobody demanded recounts?
Both of them are at fault. The voters are just as culpable for being so misinformed about what was at stake, and the democrats should’ve told them more.
But the info was all available, so that’s not an excuse.
This has been explained so, so, so-so, so so so.many times. How is it still not understood?
