she has an election in november and this is after a phone call "from" biden supposedly, which i imagine was something like, "stay in your lane or the party will hang you" because she sounds flustered as shit. also, the video doesn't let us hear what the question was though her answer started on something sounding like she was expected to comment on biden's medical condition ?
or it could have been some kind of down-the-line horse trade, which seems to be how the party machine cranks. "do x now, get y later." for as much hay is made over how the republicans function as a disciplined bloc (overstated, imo... remember all those house speakers lol), the democrats seem to have a pretty resilient party discipline mechanism for stifling a tea party / maga type movement in their house. every time around here when someone not-ossified was running as a challenger/insurgent candidate, they either got fucked by the national party before they could get started or got co-opted into the perennially failing fundraising machine.
i want to say it was a chapo episode post-2016 where they talked to Nomiki Konst or somebody like that about how fundraising works for people under the DNC aegis and it sounds like you're owned AF. like all the money has to be funneled through some party controlled account management and they get a fat chunk, they get your donor info, influence over where/how it is spent, and can hold it hostage if you're being uncooperative or "damaging".
anyway, it seems like the party has several mechanisms for capturing the energy of grassroots movements and pulling its leaders into the fold and they have all only become more obvious over the last decade or so. increasingly, i think the electoral strategy should be to let the national party collapse and atomize.
Her initial election was the party trying to hang her. She's one of like three people that legit doesn't have to toe the party line because they'll be re-elected regardless.
This is just her continuing her speed run of being this generations Pelosi, there's zero excuse.
The DNC gutted progressive candidates in primaries here. They can always dump 10 million into her primary and that sucks to fight against even if you win
but what are you fighting for if you fold everitim?![thonk-cri thonk-cri](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/28f474dc-35e3-4579-b196-28f3105e7ee7.png)
Best part about the Democrats is that Y never gets done. They just fool AOC and others to fall in line and promise that they'll get their reward later
