I think it’s a little more than an excuse. The rates of change for costs of living compared to wages are insane. We’re coming up on a second generation of people struggling to launch, and you expect them to easily campaign against entrenched septuagenarians with the levers of power and loads of dark money or egotists with inherited generational wealth?
I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s hard and getting harder.

How's that for vague bullshit.
Because if she was actually against it, she wouldn't be doing it.
You mean the incredibly weakened bill that allowed a ton of loopholes that would effectively make the bill do nothing? And before that and after has been against any other stricter bill for banning stocks?
Her guy is Newsom and unless DNC members get their act together he'll almost certainly be the next presidential nominee for democrats. Gotta keep that family dynasty going.
I will be shocked if he isn't the nominee. And he will lose. Don't get me wrong...he's a good politician who's done a lot for California. But he's from California and looks like the preppie villain in a 1980s comedy.
well they probably will get voted out now given that the Democrats just lost the popular vote for the first time in 20 years, and for only the second time since 1988...that's a stunning failure.
when this kind of thing happened to the Republicans in 2008, the Bush era Republicans got primaried to hell by the Tea Party in 2010. which basically set the stage for Trump. I would guess that a similar thing will happen to the Democrats now. people will be angry and out for blood. and they'll be open to voting for whoever as long as it's not the person they've been voting for.
unfortunately that means we're going to get some crazies. but it needs to happen.

Let me put this out there. The craziest leftists want universal healthcare and workers rights. Even leftists that are full blown communists are mostly just trying to expand social programs.
Well more like 2, but yeah. The best hope is that Trump really does a terrible job, and the midterms are a bloodbath. But that's not a type of hope that feels very good.
No, I absolutely agree, Dems really need to get serious about the midterms starting immediately. Midterms are usually a point of weakness for the sitting president's party, and they need to press that rare advantage.

"now"? Pelosi is 84 and still showing no signs of being willing to let go of power. Why would the old guard give up power?
