The secret-ballot vote to pick Connolly over AOC was 131 to 84 in a closed door Democratic caucus meeting, so it's not just Schumer who's the problem. Until Americans have a party that Wall Street can't control, we'll just get a new cast of sellouts reading from the same script.

“The clip at which Trump and Elon Musk are selling off the federal government for parts calls for battle-ready fighters—not cowardly appeasers. And the resentment towards them has begun to fester exponentially. That’s to say nothing of the shrinking possibility of free and fair elections next year.”

"What has taken so long on high-speed rail is not hammering nails or pouring concrete. It’s negotiating. Negotiating with courts, with funders, with business owners, with homeowners, with farm owners. Those negotiations cost time, which costs money."
