most of the left-of-center legislation that passed the house under Pelosi would have pass the Senate if the majority did not depend on the two Dinos.
And if not for that, Pelosi wouldn’t have let it pass the House. She was never in the business of furthering a center left agenda.
Her job, now that of Jeffries, was to make a bunch of performative gestures and campaign acts to make it LOOK like the Dem leadership is on the side of the people and then legislate on behalf of the rich and powerful people who bribe both parties.
it’s somewhat unfair to blame Pelosi, when the roadblocks were clearly in the Senate.
Yeah, it was CLEARLY someone in the Senate who, in spite of over 60% of the population being in favor of it at the time, successfully did everything she could to kill “the Green New Dream or whatever” 🙄
