    It never really was up for discussion but a few podcasters realized they could get clicks by blaming the Squad instead of the corporate democrats for it and it launched a million struggle sessions

        the stakes here weren't nanci pelosi or AOC be the speaker, it was nancy pelosi gets confirmed on this round of votes & the entryists stay in office & keep working to make things slightly better OR nancy pelosi gets confirmed on the second round of votes & the DNC declares war on the entryists & they get ousted. They're infiltrating the highest offices of power in the seat of global empire, stop demanding that they suicide bomb the DNC for no gain just to prove themselves to you

          They already declared war on them; from Pelosi’s perspective it’s simply not politically expedient for her to highlight the cracks in their party right now, as she’s re-asserting her leadership. Dems are doing all they can inwardly to oust the squad already just short of an outward, explicit feud. That won’t change regardless of what AOC or whatever left leaning Dem does. Their only real use is publicly and loudly identifying the cracks in the party to build the mesh of cognitive dissonance and make it theoretically a little easier to convert libs to leftists, to grease the wheels of organizing. They can’t actually accomplish productive change from within the party as a consequence of its structure

        Yep. M4A might have been 3 years away but now it looks like 10 at best.

        All those healthcare insurance jobs in Delaware are save for a bit longer.

          Maybe the working class will be able to unite and fight for higher wages & healthcare on their own class terrain, to where they won't need to wait 10 years for M4A =)

            It means they think that getting a roll call of votes will lead to a massive 100+ seat primary seat flipping bonanza that leads to M4A being passed after the midterms
