New York Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the most prominent of the progressive millennials elected to Congress in the midterm elections, joined a protest led by left-wing groups Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement outside House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's personal office calling for House Democrats to put forward a climate plan. Protesters called for Democrats, who will have a substantial majority in the House next year, to create a select committee to develop a plan to switch to 100 percent renewable energy.

She definitely won't get any chairmanships after going against Pelosi, brave of her to do so.

Fuck the corporate dems, they should be next after getting rid of trump, they sold this country just as much as the GOP.

[Borealis]

That's just politics, even progressives do back scratching and favors, and hold grudges

According to the article she didn't even really go against her, the protest was mostly to raise awareness, Pelosi even responded with support for the activists, but maybe there's some background shit I'm missing?

Sadly I don't see that happening any time soon. That'll take at least a generation of new blood in the offices. And we'll have to start with the dems playing hard against GoPs game first.

[DokVis]

I know, but we should at least try and not try to make act like this is fine since its "just how politics work" Money should be removed from politics.
But yeah, first we need to get rid of Trump and the GOP.

[Curls]

To be fair, Trump himself will go away. He's a side effect.

What won't happen is more trumps not taking his place. People that just wear everything on their sleeve.
