If Barbara Lee becomes speaker or minority leader I will dump the contents of my bank account into the DNC's coffers and tattoo a donkey on my ass.

Barbara Lee's notion that invading and occupying Afghanistan might not work well made her the best kind of iconoclast (a correct one).
-
Yep, her stance against those wars and against the AUMF is exactly what we need.

From "Alexandria who?" to House Speaker-maker over night. Feels good to have a real seat at the table, huh, Alexandria?

Does it bother you ? That she has a seat?

he's saying it's a *REALLY* good thing lol

My apologies

In seriousness, overnight Ocasio went from a bartender to someone whose opinion on Democratic House leadership is newsworthy. And I'm deliriously happy for her.

Literally same. I always thought she had a chance considering the amount of votes needed to win. But I never gave a thought the strategic implications of taking out number 4 in the house. Getting Barbara Lee in is *HUGE*.
-
I confess, I didn’t really think she could do it. I never said so publicly. And can’t be more thrilled to have been very, very wrong.

You weren’t alone in that line of thought, I mean, these corporate candidates after all have too much power at hand. It’s good to know that we can beat them by coming together. It gives us hope. And when people have hope they can be mobilized which is why I believe she won!

Barbara Lee would be an excellent speaker. She was my rep for years in
#CA13. She always voted the right way, always. We were so damn proud of her for that Afghanistan war vote, standing up to a pres and her own party. - 1 more reply

[Narrator voice:] "It turned out that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a Bernie Bro."
