Bernie Sanders doubles down that people are ‘angry’ with Dems after Pelosi said she didn’t ‘respect’ his remarks
Bernie Sanders doubles down that people are ‘angry’ with Dems after Pelosi said she didn’t ‘respect’ his remarks
In a statement after Donald Trump sailed to victory, the veteran Vermont senator said that the election results should ‘come as no great surprise’
Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.
You're viewing a single thread.
Pelosi is the best example of what's wrong with Dems. Literally enriched herself off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor.
I'm a Sanders guy, but Pelosi held against an onslaught. She's tough, and that's good.
She's good at holding her own. Too bad her own is neo liberal garbage and self enrichment.
The Democrats win on policy, but they're horrible at rhetoric.
The dems used to win on policy, but now they do whatever they want (or are paid to do) regardless of the will of their voter base.
They only want to do what pays the best
The fuck are you even talking about? The last shit they could even use their multi-trillion dollar propaganda machine to spin as a positive was RomneyCare.
If anything you've got that backwards. They can run the worst candidates possible with literal fucking fascist policies and still get tens of millions of votes based purely on vibes.
I"m saying they're good at getting shit done, but horrible at letting anyone know they actually got anything done. I don't even think they vote on vibes given that no one on the GOP hasn't given off the most scummy fucking vibes I've ever felt.
Hell Vance and Paul Ryan have basically the same vibes
I"m saying they’re good at getting shit done, but horrible at letting anyone know they actually got anything done.
And I'm telling you you're delusional. The exact opposite is true as evidenced by your own rationalization.
I don’t even think they vote on vibes given that no one on the GOP hasn’t given off the most scummy fucking vibes I’ve ever felt.
Did you switch to talking about republicans here? We're talking about democrats voting and you're talking about the vibes of the republicans being bad like that's not literally part of what I already said.
Pelosi is wrong about Sanders. But she did not "enrich herself".
Bernie is literally quoted in the article saying "Nancy is a friend of mine".
The main thing she's known for is rampant unabashed insider trading. If that isn't enriching herself then I don't know what is.
Pelosi is wrong about Sanders. But she did not “enrich herself”.
🤣
🤨
Pelosi is wrong about Sanders. But she did not “enrich herself”.
Are we playing the "it's her spouse who is the stock investor" game?

Because if this is how one accumulates wealth, it certainly sounds like it's "off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor."
D.C.-based nonprofit OpenSecrets.org estimated Pelosi's net worth at $115 million in 2020, a rise of $41 million since 2004 - the first year OpenSecrets began tracking members' personal finances.
Paul Pelosi's company, Financial Leasing Services, has been highly successful in its investments in recent years and those investments have included shares in major firms such as Disney, Amazon and Google.
The New York Post estimated that the Pelosis had made between $5.6 million and $30.4 million between 2007 and 2020 through capital gains and dividends from investments in five tech companies - Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft - based on public disclosures.
That's not really good evidence. They could've made more money by just holding an SP 500 index fund. Their recent Visa trade is better evidence.
Fair! But personally it's my opinion that in all but a vanishingly small number of cases, if someone is sitting on high tens of millions of dollars and on up, I feel very certain that fundamentally this description works:
Literally enriched herself off the pain and suffering of the working class and poor.
While there are people who are underpaid and struggling to eat, there's not a path to that kind of wealth that isn't directly or indirectly exploiting their pain and suffering.
Their wealth is itself the evidence.
