      They are also talking about reforming the progressive caucus to actually require members to be progressive and to start voting as a bloc. That’s good.

      You don’t need that many people in a coalition to force change.

      The right wing libs are right when they mock the squad for basically having no power in congress. They get a lot of media attention because they are young, attractive and shit stirrers but they're basically sitting at the kids table.

          Fucking how

          In guessing you think it's neckbeard because I said they're popular for being attractive, which to me says that you think mainstream shitlib media like NBC and CNN fawn over them because they believe in their policies and not because young pretty people drive ratings lmao

            oh i'm sorry, i mistook your mastery of human psychology for the lazy musings of a sexually frustrated human born in the twentieth century.

            i can't seem to find your postings talking about how handsome obama is. i'm sure it's just my browser making a whoopsie.

              Lmao what the fuck you don't even know if I'm straight or not. Are you saying that the media doesn't like to focus on pretty women?

                  Literally nothing I said is sexist. The squad are objectively not powerful and the corporate media isn't paying a disproportionate amount of attention to them because they like their policy proposals or whatever. In what world is pointing out that the media focuses on young attractive women in Congress sexist?

      And it was 0 in 2016. In 20 years it will be half of congress.

        In 20 years we will probably be under fascist rule and have no elections or in the midst of a revolution. The idea that there will be a democratic ascendence of socdems and the government will function normally in 20 years is extreme wishful thinking and liberal hegemony brain.
