Okay, the reason why the Democratic party is doing what it's doing because they know that the base has nowhere else to go. What you going to do? Don't vote Republican! Oh yeah do it all them other sellouts did and go vote for that party.

When I was 23, nearly 40 years ago, I felt equally as cheated out of my future and look what I got. You kids better get on it. We did our best to fight this shit. It's up to you to build your future. If you want one. No one is guaranteed anything, just ask trump. But, just think of what only sitting on the internet complaining will do for you. If you don't want the future you will be handed, do something more than sit on the Twitch and RUclips.
There needs to be a mandatory retirement age of 70 in national government. I’m so sick of people with one foot in the grave deciding what the future looks like.
We need to fight corruption, not age. I really don’t like the idea of setting an arbitrary numeric age and forcing people out of office. It’s easy to see our corrupt, geriatric, out of touch Democratic Party and blame it on how many birthdays they’ve had, but that’s not the problem and it wouldn’t solve anything. Mandatory retirement would just push the older corrupt lifers into the background pulling the strings of younger people. The problem is the corruption. Pelosi isn’t awful because she’s 80, she’s awful because she’s a corrupt corporate goon who has made a fortune insider trading as a public servant. A mandatory retirement age of 70 would’ve robbed us of Bernie’s presidential run and everything that brought with it. Bernie is who he is because he has spent decades fighting for people. Learning and gaining wisdom. Being older can be a good thing. Experience can be a good thing in governing. Let’s not throw that away because our two party system sucks.
There are some excellent reps and senators above 70... what we need is to create a system where it is easier to oust bad incumbents, no matter their age. For instance, campaign finance reform and getting dark money out of politics. Even just looking within my own representatives in congress, I'd much rather keep the septugenarian Elizabeth Warren as senator than my joke of a congressman/closet republican Jake Auchincloss.
I'm so tired of all these old people refusing to step down and pass the torch creating all these problems that they won't ever have to deal with because they won't be alive in 5-10 more years.
This is why we need to break from this Party. We do not get to choose who runs. The money chooses. Then all these candidates who raised several hundred million dollars end up in front of us.
Tell that to yer mom n dad not yer neighbors. The DNC is in fact funded y the youngest wealth ever conceived in human history... They are all gross. I ask that we SEE WHO IS PAYING FER THESE CLOWNS
I am reminded of the collapse of the soviet union and how its leadership continued to just keep the old gaurd in charge of the most important positions because the youth could not be trusted to maintain the status of the old gaurd. Inevitably the system collapsed. The same thing not only will happen to the democratic party, but it will be necessary for the democratic party to collapse in order to ever get back to a pre Regan economic consensus.
It is precisely this, however, the gerontocrats of the Democratic Party are actually considerably older than the CPSU apparatchniks of the 80s. In 1991 when the USSR was dissolved, the President of the USSR, Gorbachev, was 70 years old (Joe Biden is 82 years old). The leader of the 1991 coup, Premiere of the Soviet Union Valentin Pavlov, against Gorbachev was at the time 53 years old. The Chairman of the Council of Ministers was 71 years old, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet was 60 years old, and so on. I could go on, but I'm listing these because you should know that the situation in terms of old guard dominance in our politics is actually far, far worse than the Soviet Union's ever was.
To be perfectly fair, the Soviets realized their own failure in educating the younger generations. It wasn't just naked self interest, they saw the writting on the wall where the most educated were jockeying to kick down the ladder by dismantling the same socialist system that raised them. They were right, just couldn't get out of a death spiral. The Dems are doing it for an opposite reason, they see that their popular young leaders are the ones moving left. They would rather lead a dying party than let it abandon full on neoliberalism.
It will definitely for sure. If Bernie Sanders creates a third party, the Democrats are finished. Their vote share in 2028 will be reduced to just 1/4 of what it actually is today,
You mean leave Trump with no opposition whatsoever. Yeah, sorry, but that’s a bad idea. There ought to be a third major party great enough to challenge both the Democrats and the Republicans!
@jrzygurl Stop putting all of your faith in Bernie. He haw been throwing his principals in the trash for a seat at Biden's table. At what point are people going to stop putting all of their faith in politicians? Especially politicians who have been useless for far longer than we have been alive? Have you ever even done the "what ifs" on a Bernie win? He gets impeached by the Dems and nothing gets done. The Democrats show time and time again that the only people they care to fight against are the left. Why do you think President Sanders would fare any better? We have 2 right wing parties. We actually need a House and Senate full of different people who vote differently before we can think of having a person at the top who is willing to follow through on what we want, but stuff like this continues to not be said.
It appears that House Democrats didn't want a left wing extremist as a committee leader who has a history of invading and occupying' the office of the House Majority Leader. Imagine that.
They would rather have a man whose voice is liable to be shot at any point in his treatment than actually have a real orator to speak to the people they need votes from. Smh

I mean come on this is the Democrat Party we are taking about did we really think that the Democrat Party would pick someone as smart and talented as AOC? We all know they would have chose a rock over AOC this wasn’t a race to begin with it was just a little show to give progressive a hope in a party where we need more than hope to get us out this situation
To Sam’s point, people may not have recognized AOC’s heading of this committee, but voting for her would’ve been indicative of the Democratic Party actually listening to voters, I think it would’ve made a difference in the “vibe” of the party. Which is apparently all that matters in modern American politics.
Yeah exactly!! The vibes or the narrative are more important to the folks who don't pay close attention to politics & actual policies. They just see the stuff that goes viral & then return to their everyday concerns. But we still need to appeal to those folks, bc improving everyone's material conditions would secure the votes & loyalty of those folks. We just need to get the message TO them, and they don't respond to traditional messaging.
The problem is that it's not just the Republicans who want us to get so frustrated that we give up and drown in our own apathy. The Dems also want this! This is why a growing number of people consider the Dem party "controlled opposition" 🤷🏼♂️ No matter what happens, which ever way the pendulum swings, the ruling class will get their way. We've ALL got to start coming to terms with this....
Gets super clear when you see where they get their money from, and where they invest it. At this point its as embarrassing as being an adult who thinks professional wrestling drama is real.
Biden: I don’t know. Does that young buck even have enough experience to be a Democratic congressman? Has he met Scoop Jackson? James Eastland? Robert Byrd?
I've been voting Dem since I've been able to vote back in like 2008. I'm so tired of holding my nose to continue to vote for them. Im never voting for Republicans. Idk what to do. I dont want to vote for the party that keeps telling us they dont want us.
I said earlier this vote was the cincher for me, and it was. I formally renounced by status as a Democrat today. And I refuse to ever vote Dem again unless I can be assured that the candidate is a left-wing populist. Frankly, I think this is a sign that it's "third party or bust" time. This level of malicious negligence cannot be tolerated, and it cannot be forgiven. And we're already at rock bottom now, so what do we really have to lose? "Vote blue no matter who" is done now. And I will not play this stvpid game anymore.
@@cringeworthington7091 Yeah, 2016 was my first election. At least you got a couple that went your way with Obama, even if he turned out a disappointment.
Unfortunately we have a defacto two-party Electoral College system. What we have to do is what maga did to the repugs, a hostile takeover. Though it will be trickier for us bc the Dems are a coalition or a caucus with broader demographics and beliefs than the RW conservatives. However, I believe it can be done if we can unite and focus on doing what's right for the people/workers, such as universal healthcare, workers rights, and human rights. But it's going to be a fight bc none of these corporate slacks are going to let $$$ go until death comes.
Man, how refreshing a much older corporatist Democrat for oversight. That makes sense... this is like giving a golden parachute to an executive that bankrupts a company. So frustrating
Been in IT for 28 years. There's very few things that are common place at every job I've worked while in IT. One, CEO's do nothing and generate maybe 3 request tickets a year asking for help a 4 year old could provide. Two, nobody ever wants to spend money on IT until the crap hit the fan. Three, people over 65 years of age flat out refuse to try anything new when it comes to their daily routine in the workplace. New computer? Nothing but complaints of how different it is. Software update that is out of our control and mandatory? Nothing but complaints of how different it is. Change your domain password every 90 days? Nothing but pure hell of "I don't know my new password" for 60 days. The fact that the old "guard" is now ushering in the new *old* guard is not surprising at all. Once they get set in their ways, they will fight tooth and nail to not allow meaningful change.
Biden's announcement against stock trading while in congress is years overdue, cuz if we'd've known this five or six years ago, we could have put Pelosi out in a fucking field somewhere so that the people who'll still be alive in twenty years finally get a chance at steering the goddamn car.
Not a problem! Just get 3/4s of the House and Senate to agree on an amendment to the constitution and then get 3/4s of the states to ratify it. Of course, House Democrats COULD have selected AOC, but the truth is they didn't WANT her.
Justice Democrats was the path forward, but infighting and lack of support has hurt the movement. This last election cycle the Justice Democrats didn't bring anyone new to the table in a primary and only endorsed incumbents. The progressive left is not organized or very strategic right now.
Appointing our oldest politicians to leadership roles is not the New Democratic Party. This man should be on the down stroke of his career. We don’t need more geezers in charge. People like Pelosi, McConnell , Grassley , Connelly and Schumer should be grooming the younger politician to replace them. Their service is appreciated but it time for the changing of the guard.
Aren't there two of the three left leaning SCOTUS judges contemplating retirement? If so, why didn't they consider this a couple of years ago to allow Biden to appoint someone else? Now they have AT LEAST four years, if they last that long, looking at you RBG.
Very reminiscent of 2017 when they picked Tom Perez instead of Keith Ellison for the DNC. "No, we didn't lose because we weren't progressive enough, we lost because we were *too* progressive. Screw you, progressives!" LOL. It's when I left the party.
Fun fact: there are people in their 40s living in San Francisco who have never had another House Rep other than Pelosi. Also, she just got reelected to another term this last election. What a joke.

@@LuizAlexPhoenix We are not doing any of those things. One guy who was forced by the party to stop talking after his first speech did the second thing. Democrats spent all their hope and change political capital on bolstering united healthcares profits.
I've always wanted to watch Trump debate AOC just for entertainment value
Yeah and AOC would wipe the floor with him just like Harris did during the election and yet 22% of the whole population of the US were conned by Trump twice and it is all due to the fact that y'all do not want a woman in power and do not even try to debunk that for you know it is true and that is why the US is not the best country in the world.
The democrats are soon to be on life support, like this candidate.
Not gonna lie guys that graphic on this video made me laugh uncontrollably at the absurdity of the current dem leadership and the people who keep somehow putting them back into office every damn primary lol
So shady😂😂😂
Well this last go around the Justice Democrats didn't endorse a single new candidate.
@@maxsteel32because the party probably shot it down behind closed doors like always
I'm an over 41 Boomer and I agree with Emma that AOC is the most popular politician in America.
41 is not a boomer. You're a millennial.
You must’ve forgot millennials get old eventually 😂
@@Tooldruid "Boomer" colloquially just means "old" or someone who's out of touch with the younger generations. They know they aren't literally a baby boomer lol
@@jaminjones8784 Boomer absolutely means from the baby boomer generation. The only reason the word "boomer" would mean old id because all of the baby boomers are old. Look it up for yourself what the definition of boomer is
@jaminjones8784 do you enjoy being wrong. Not only being wrong, but showing your absolute ignorance to everyone? Boomer is the shortened form of Baby Boomer. The name of a generation.
I called and left a message with Nancy about this today. They are hopeless and need to find their morality in their so called fight for democracy.
She doesn't care.
@ you’re right but I called anyway, we all should. Call every day about this, Medicare for all, green new deal, college for all. We need to call and leave messages.
AOC and Bernie and any progressive with a shred of sense, dignity, and a halfway decent social media following, should leave the party. Immediately. Bc this is outrageous. 2015. 2016. 2018. 2019. 2020. 2022. 2024. How much longer do progressives need, before they grasp that Democrats are NOT your friends? Barely allies. And most of the time, actively working against progressive policy goals and organizing efforts.
Problem is her election shows there are opportunities for getting into office that way, and so far every third party effort has achieved fuck all.
@@SixteenJacobsCreams oh, ok, so keep doing the same failed thing over and over and over and over and over, that will surely work.
Third party has literally achieved less. They can’t even get past the post
@@HaiRune so you should just keep doing the same failed thing over and over and over and over and over and over...and maybe eventually it might change something? Sounds like a great winning plan. NOT
They're sheepdogs. Their whole purpose is to keep people in the party who would otherwise have nothing to do with it. The goal is to stop real change.
Emma is 100% correct! I'm so tired of the Democratic party and their focus.
I may have missed this, but wtf is Pelosi's problem
Geriatric
Loves power and money. Loves making sure her donors are happy
Money
$$$$$$$$$$$
Capitalism & drunk on power.
Democrats just know how to dance that tightrope between total loss and enough hope to keep the donations flowing.
🎯
The rope is fretting rapidly though
Then we need to convince more people to just not fund those bastards.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Jakeem Jeffries is such an empty bag of gas.
Truth. But I expected nothing more from Schumer and Pelosi's champion. He can turn a clever phrase, but his actions have been as lackluster his mentors.
Truly can not understand how he became leader
The dems have been disappointing me for 50 years. No more, I'm done.
Donald Trump appreciates your support.
@@matthewmoore7447 he already won the election, keep up
@@matthewmoore7447Donald Trump seems to have Democratic Party support with this pick.

Feelin’ your justified rage, Emma.
Both parties need to go away.
Now it's just a team sport and has nothing to do with governing.
I mean come on this is the Democrat Party we are taking about did we really think that the Democrat Party would pick someone as smart and talented as AOC? We all know they would have chose a rock over AOC this wasn’t a race to begin with it was just a little show to give progressive a hope in a party where we need more than hope to get us out this situation
Oh my god… I knew the guy was old, but that’s literally a walking corpse
Let's keep electing Pelosi over and over again. That seems to be working really well for us. 🤡
I just can’t believe this. AOC was the best and only person for this role. Pelosi needs to but out
Geriatric stubbornness.
If he survives cancer maybe he will get the democratic nomination for president in 2028 & if they think he's too young there's always 2032
To Sam’s point, people may not have recognized AOC’s heading of this committee, but voting for her would’ve been indicative of the Democratic Party actually listening to voters, I think it would’ve made a difference in the “vibe” of the party. Which is apparently all that matters in modern American politics.
Yeah exactly!! The vibes or the narrative are more important to the folks who don't pay close attention to politics & actual policies. They just see the stuff that goes viral & then return to their everyday concerns. But we still need to appeal to those folks, bc improving everyone's material conditions would secure the votes & loyalty of those folks. We just need to get the message TO them, and they don't respond to traditional messaging.
I will never donate to the Dems again
Please keep your money.
I left the Democratic Party a long time ago when the genocide started in Palestine
@@niravrasengupta7374, Netanyahu, Likud Party, and the Far-Right in Israel and the United States thanks you for that decision.
I'm sure they will miss your $5.
Last time I donated was directly to Bernie. The party is corporate and establishment. Until it changes, they don't need my money.
You're absolutely right emma. Does it feel like democracy? Because its not

Term limits. Pelosi needs to stick to insider trading. I would take Whitehouse over all of them.
Sheldon Whitehouse? He's pretty decent. He's a senator, though. This is all about the house.
@@DaemonJax IMO, in spite of his age, he would've made a better POTUS candidate than Harris.
no millionaires
The problem is that it's not just the Republicans who want us to get so frustrated that we give up and drown in our own apathy. The Dems also want this! This is why a growing number of people consider the Dem party "controlled opposition" 🤷🏼♂️ No matter what happens, which ever way the pendulum swings, the ruling class will get their way. We've ALL got to start coming to terms with this....
I have been screaming this since the 80s. All of us punk rockers have. But none of you listened...
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Gets super clear when you see where they get their money from, and where they invest it.
At this point its as embarrassing as being an adult who thinks professional wrestling drama is real.
And this is why my membership will be to neither Republicans or Democrats. I'll remain independent.
I’ve been at odds with the dems for almost a decade now and finally recently registered as an independent. They’re freakin’ out of touch
Biden: I don’t know. Does that young buck even have enough experience to be a Democratic congressman? Has he met Scoop Jackson? James Eastland? Robert Byrd?
This party is so depressing.
Everyone over 65 needs to go!
Every DINO needs to go.
We need a new party and we need it now!
I've been voting Dem since I've been able to vote back in like 2008. I'm so tired of holding my nose to continue to vote for them. Im never voting for Republicans. Idk what to do. I dont want to vote for the party that keeps telling us they dont want us.
Start organizing in your local community and get them to vote Green.
This BS is exactly why I will never vote for the Democratic party again.
Un-f*****g-believable.
I said earlier this vote was the cincher for me, and it was. I formally renounced by status as a Democrat today. And I refuse to ever vote Dem again unless I can be assured that the candidate is a left-wing populist. Frankly, I think this is a sign that it's "third party or bust" time. This level of malicious negligence cannot be tolerated, and it cannot be forgiven. And we're already at rock bottom now, so what do we really have to lose?
"Vote blue no matter who" is done now. And I will not play this stvpid game anymore.
I learned this within a few months of Obama's election in 2008.
lol I learned that 2000 after Florida
@@cringeworthington7091 Yeah, 2016 was my first election. At least you got a couple that went your way with Obama, even if he turned out a disappointment.
Enjoy more Maga then 😂
Unfortunately we have a defacto two-party Electoral College system. What we have to do is what maga did to the repugs, a hostile takeover. Though it will be trickier for us bc the Dems are a coalition or a caucus with broader demographics and beliefs than the RW conservatives. However, I believe it can be done if we can unite and focus on doing what's right for the people/workers, such as universal healthcare, workers rights, and human rights. But it's going to be a fight bc none of these corporate slacks are going to let $$$ go until death comes.
The Battle of the Bulge, America's worst single battle losses in history, happened when Nancy Pelosi was 4. Thanks, Bradley for bringing this up.
Unless that guy is Benjamin Button, we're screwed....
So sad you let creeping corruption destroy your country. You need to get money out of politics.
Problem is we keep expecting the people taking bribes to legislate away their bribes 🤦♀️
Best thing for the DNC is for Nancy to “move on”
Please stop courting the two party system. It obviously doesn't work. It must go.
When can we stop calling the old centrist hacks “New Democrats”?
This is really beyond the pale. Senility reigns. Terrifying. And, it seems it can’t/couldn’t be stopped? What?
Man, how refreshing a much older corporatist Democrat for oversight. That makes sense... this is like giving a golden parachute to an executive that bankrupts a company. So frustrating
Been in IT for 28 years. There's very few things that are common place at every job I've worked while in IT. One, CEO's do nothing and generate maybe 3 request tickets a year asking for help a 4 year old could provide. Two, nobody ever wants to spend money on IT until the crap hit the fan. Three, people over 65 years of age flat out refuse to try anything new when it comes to their daily routine in the workplace.
New computer? Nothing but complaints of how different it is. Software update that is out of our control and mandatory? Nothing but complaints of how different it is. Change your domain password every 90 days? Nothing but pure hell of "I don't know my new password" for 60 days.
The fact that the old "guard" is now ushering in the new *old* guard is not surprising at all. Once they get set in their ways, they will fight tooth and nail to not allow meaningful change.
How depressing. The cavalry is not coming. We need to save ourselves.
Thank you do nothing Dems
Biden's announcement against stock trading while in congress is years overdue, cuz if we'd've known this five or six years ago, we could have put Pelosi out in a fucking field somewhere so that the people who'll still be alive in twenty years finally get a chance at steering the goddamn car.
And they wonder why they keep losing
I have lost all faith in the dems. Not the GOP is not good enough, never was.
Dang, I need to get into politics so I can "keep working" into my 90s when I'm not functional.😂😂😂
Something about snow white and an evil old queen
Wish the people on the left had a party. 😢
This is ridiculous!
Not a problem! Just get 3/4s of the House and Senate to agree on an amendment to the constitution and then get 3/4s of the states to ratify it.
Of course, House Democrats COULD have selected AOC, but the truth is they didn't WANT her.
Being opposed to elderly male corporate conservative white nationalist politics then looking over at this merry go round ...
Pelosi does it again. How is it that we cannot get this tick off of our back?!?!
Justice Democrats was the path forward, but infighting and lack of support has hurt the movement. This last election cycle the Justice Democrats didn't bring anyone new to the table in a primary and only endorsed incumbents. The progressive left is not organized or very strategic right now.
AIPAC wanted the guy.
Ironic that the Democratic Party isn't democratic. I'm now a registered independent.
I'm registered as a dem just so I can try and primary out these incumbents
@@TheBigTunaMunster they won’t even let anyone run against them.
Appointing our oldest politicians to leadership roles is not the New Democratic Party. This man should be on the down stroke of his career. We don’t need more geezers in charge. People like Pelosi, McConnell , Grassley , Connelly and Schumer should be grooming the younger politician to replace them. Their service is appreciated but it time for the changing of the guard.
Aren't there two of the three left leaning SCOTUS judges contemplating retirement?
If so, why didn't they consider this a couple of years ago to allow Biden to appoint someone else?
Now they have AT LEAST four years, if they last that long, looking at you RBG.
Very reminiscent of 2017 when they picked Tom Perez instead of Keith Ellison for the DNC. "No, we didn't lose because we weren't progressive enough, we lost because we were *too* progressive. Screw you, progressives!" LOL. It's when I left the party.
I've never seen Emma this heated before, at least by her even-keel standard. I don't blame her, though.
Fun fact: there are people in their 40s living in San Francisco who have never had another House Rep other than Pelosi. Also, she just got reelected to another term this last election. What a joke.
Between the TWO CHOICES: AOC by a ... LANDSLIDE! As a FINANCIALLY GIVING Democrat, I will be making my VOICE heard with the Democratic Party if she is NOT APPOINT@ 😡😡😡😡😡
Unfortunately she was not appointed to the House Oversight :(
