ah yea man it's really smart politics to lose committee assignments (which, to be clear, are your runner's up prize that they'll still give people in safe seats) for pointlessly attacking the nominee when it's clear they're not moving on that file, and the majority of the party now opposes a fracking ban thanks to Biden's actions
I mean also, once again, she still pretty clearly opposes fracking and wants to legislate that, but her wing of the party lost, so they... don't get to do that now? that's how losing works
if you're expecting more from the House I don't know what to tell you, socialism was never going to be built totally by professional politicians, real radicalism is going to have to come from outside of that structure
this is also before he's taken office - you can criticize once, y'know, the President does something bad and still have justifiable cover; the Democrats are just too insane until Trump is gone
Yes the precious political capital that would totally be compromised by checks notes opposing something already unpopular with her progressive base
Aside from potentially galvanizing her base, yes nothing positive can possibly arise
Seriously this is just defeatism with extra steps
