Fair point, not that it's theoretically required.
I forgot she was after seeing her name voted for.

Thankfully she is only 50, we have some very strong long term party members.

Former Maryland governor and Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley shot down speculation that he would run for president again in 2020, instead saying he hoped Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke would throw his hat in the ring.

The former longshot candidate laid out his reasons for endorsing O'Rourke in an op-edin the Des Moines Register published Thursday, calling his failed Senate campaign "a disciplined and principled campaign that also managed to be raw, authentic, and real" and promoting O'Rourke, a former Democratic congressman from El Paso, Texas, as part of a "new generation" of leaders that can unify and heal the country.

Yeah, oops.
We do need someone to replace Schumer though...
His messaging game is so poor compared to what we need right now.

Those boos can fuck right off.

I don't like bits of Pelosi, and her apologetics to late-stage capitalism have never been something I can take easily, but she gets shit done.

We need a get-shit-done-er to even help manage the literal firestorm of chaos that has to be contained.

chicago politicians lol

here's a story

Longtime Ald. Edward Burke, one of Chicago's most powerful figures and a vestige of the city's old Democratic machine, has been charged with attempted extortion for allegedly using his position as alderman to corruptly solicit business for his private law firm.

The 37-page criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court comes five weeks after the FBI carried out a stunning raid on Burke's City Hall office, working for hours behind windows covered with brown butcher paper before leaving down a back staircase with computers and files.

According to the one count, Burke in 2017 tried to extort a company that owns fast-food restaurants in the Chicago area and needed help with permits for a remodeling job.

The evidence includes numerous recorded calls from Burke's cell phone as well as emails and other documents, according to the complaint, which was filed Wednesday and unsealed Thursday.
