Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

zero citing example of the ''hatred and antisemitism'' in the article by the way.

Just for the info, Pelosi was a civil right activist before going into politics. Just like how AOC pretended to have helped unionize some workplace.

kicking the ladder for your constituents is not a bug, it's a feature

They don't because the US media and politicians have long made an effort to make it so that the public equivocates support for the Palestinian people with antisemitism. So simply asking the that Palestinians not be treated like animals is antisemitic. It's sickening.

When you try to ask the UN to give Palestinian authority some semblance of justice, that's diplomatic terrorism

When you do BDS, that's economical terrorism.

Pelosi was also in the "progressive caucus" and called for universal healthcare at some point. AOC is Pelosi, I've been saying this for years.

che-smile she really does.

Pelosi is a ghoul, but damn if sbe wasn't great at being a ghoul. Did nothing but enrich herself and actively make the world worse, and had the voteball enjoyers clapping for her while she ddd it

give it time. She already serves the same purpose that Pelosi used to. So many centrists and "progressives" point to her as an example that actually progressive politics are possible within the Democratic Party and use her as a cudgel against left wing criticisms of the party. She already funnels money from progressive donors towards centrist democrats. Sure, she may never be the Speaker of the house but I could definitely see her selling out more to get into some leadership position.

100-com right here. She was the 2nd biggest fundraiser after Pelosi herself. Whether she enters leadership or not, she has the real power which is money.

The fact that she has that money, that we know she hands over to centrists, makes it clear that all her whinging about needing to play ball with leadership because of commitee appointments or whatever is completely empty.

She was on the ghoul track her whole life. Her 6 month tour as a bartender was a stolen valor photo op, no different than ratboys.
