    an Old. White. man.

    Seriously. It’s pissing me off; more so the republicans doing it. we need minority voices. We can’t expect the republicans to do it- lets just be honest here. and I doubt very much if Connolly will be able to push back nearly as much as AOC can and will. (never mind, whether or not he’s willing.)

      An old white man with cancer that he announced a month ago. He should be focusing on his treatment, not adding more to his plate.

        What the fuck? This is a special dipshit cherry to put on top of just automatically choosing the oldest option. Even if the leadership still hate AOC, choose someone who’s definitely going to be at the top of their game, not award important positions to so he can be proud while taking time off for his pressing health needs.

          He won because Pelosi wanted him to win. That is literally the answer.
