Looking at COVID as a Progressive I can understand wanting to get the COVID injections and I support your right to do so. The fear of death

The Making of Lina Hidalgo: From Democratic Party Nursery to Omicron Hysteria Queen

This first part of an investigative series by Dan Cohen reveals that, despite her image as a progressive political outsider, Lina Hidalgo is

Lina Hidalgo is an opp.

If Jayapal doesn't shut the fuck up, man...

Just sayin', you could have promoted your own bill pre-vaccine and shifted the pressure to every single member of Congress who opposed Medicare for All.

As it turns out, Pramila Jayapal has a history of capitulating to establishment Democrats. She alongside Ro Khana and Chuck Rocha urged Bernie to drop out of the presidential race just as the pandemic showed that Bernie was the most equipped to handle it (Brihana Joy Gray wanted Bernie to fight on).

It now makes sense as to why she made bullshit excuses for not forcing a floor vote on her own bill in the middle of a deadly fucking pandemic, not fighting to include a $15 minimum wage in the American Rescue Plan, botching the eviction moratorium, and folding like a deck of cards when the infrastructure and reconciliation bills were decoupled after insisting for two months that the two had to be voted in tandem.

Indeed, this screams anti-endorsement and Jayapal's pre-D.C. history has her being the protégé of one of Seattle's elite, namely former mayor Ed Murray, who didn't even finish his term.

Tweet from Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald)

Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) Tweeted:

LOL. The Squad are experts at voting NO against Pelosi only when they know their votes won't matter, so they get praise from the world's most gullible idiots.

The only two times they could have used their power - Pelosi's re-election & $2b more in Police spending - they obeyed. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1456970860988882946?s=20

Exactly. Don't believe the hype. The Fraud Squad was allowed to vote no because 13 Republicans voted for the infrastructure bill. Had none of yes votes crossed the aisle the Squad would have fallen in line.

Oh yes, defeatism has come early. Checking out @BoldProgressive's account, it becomes clear rather quickly that the organization is all in with whatever shitty strategy the Democratic Party plans on utilizing next year.

The original tweet attracted a number of negative comments from incrementalists who share similar viewpoints. The group is less AOC/Squad stans than they are open Elizabeth Warren supporters and their list of candidates redirects to an Act Blue site, which tells me all that I need to know.
