    Well, I’d argue Nancy is more representative of wealthy American neo-liberals, which most of us are not.

    I’d even argue is Nancy even a dem at this point she’s more of a centrist parading around as a dem.

      And that perfectly represents the party as a whole.

      Yes which is much closer to who the Dems are representing as a whole

        No, based upon the popularity of policies, AOC is FAR closer to representing normal people than more conservative democrats like Pelosi are?

        There is a reason people hate centrist corporate democrats, it is because they don’t even pretend to push policies people desperately need.

      While Nancy’s actual politics may be more centrists than dem, shes still one of the old guards that must go away for any actual change in the party.

          Dems are a far right party that only look centrist if you squint looking at them from inside fascist crazy town.

          To basically anyone in the developed world, of which we are not, Luigi murdered a mass murderer, to any fascist or neoliberal here, we have to let murderers for profit let the free market decide who gets life saving healthcare, as just 1 of innumerable examples.

          Neoliberals don’t squee like little girls at the hello kitty store when people suffer and die needlessly when it facilitates private profit as the Fascists do, but they don’t see it as the social fabric betrayal and atrocity it is either. “free market forces, mr dying homeless person, but I support your right to die in the gutter of hunger and exposure as any identity you choose!” Because it’s free to, but people need their basic survival met first, and that takes resources that go to them and not the robber barons that pay off both parties.

            agreed. In context, they’re centrists for the States. Bernie is only barely left of center to the rest of the world but considered extreme here by corporate media and the other government clowns.

              When people say dumbass shit like this it makes me wonder what part of the world they are talking about.

              All of Africa: right wing compared to America

              Most of South America: right wing compared to America

              Pretty much all of Asia: right wing compared to America

              Middle East: lmao

              Russia: lmao

              Europe: about 70% right wing or similar to America with a handful of countries that might be considered left wing maybe but are sliding right as well.

              The British Commonwealth: about the same as America except for the healthcare aspect.

              Maybe you consider Antarctica left wing? Maybe the Oceans? Maybe the only part of the world that exists to these idiots are uber white Aryan nordic countries only? Or maybe you live in a fantasy dimension and are somehow communicating to us through a wormhole via Lemmy.

                Europe is absolutely not as you describe. That’s what the media feeds you in North America.

      That’s a funny take. The former speaker of the house who hand selected her replacement and was the leader of the Democratic caucus for more than a decade, and you’re basically calling them a DINO

        MAGA regularly calls Mitch McConnell a RINO. Why should we handle Nancy any differently?
