    She could have held up any number of must pass bills, Pelosi's election, etc. She could tweet out to her millions of followers that there's a US admiral in Riyadh giving the Saudis their target lists. She could do countless things bedsides 'deferring to the Caucus' for an indeterminate amount of time.

            A baby boomer real estate goon posted his way into the white house. The Twitter example was supposed to illustrate how low a priority opposing wars is for her because she's not even doing that much.

              Which was more important to Trump's campaign:

              1. Tweets
              2. Countless hours of free cable news coverage, all other Republican candidates having the combined charisma of moldy cheese, a uniquely hated Democratic opponent, Trump being shameless enough to be openly racist/not drop out over any of a dozen scandals/make fun of people to their face

              And that's during a presidential campaign, not some posts by a congressperson a year and a half out from an election.

      And none ofwhat you're talking about would have any impact on whether the US is bombing Yemen...?

        Yeah it would, she could just put an amendment in to defund whatever military operations if they don't do it themselves, Pelosi's margin is only a handful so she could make a huge difference on whatever issues she felt like, too bad M4A and a minimum wage hike don't even register for her either apparently.

          Why do you think the fight for M4A or a minimum wage hike was going to be as easy as electing three or four congresspeople? Like did you think capitalism was this giant death star with a big hole in it that says "SELF DESTRUCTS IF THREE DSA PEOPLE WIN SEATS IN CONGRESS."

            Where did I say any of that? It won't matter how many succdems get elected if none of them are willing to break with Nancy Peloski
