Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.
In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.
Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”
Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.
Then nothing will work, but at least Dems can show some fucking spines instead of trying to compromise with traitors.
But compromising with traitors is the best way to show progressives that traitors are better regarded by the party than they’ll ever be.
The one thing everyone in Washington can agree on - progressives are the scum of the earth.
Ending the “campaign finance” gravy train, improving social safety nets to allow people to live a life free from fear and desperation, meaningful action to address climate change, fair wages…truly a capitalist’s nightmare.
That’s the tactic the Democrats used in 2016 when they lost. It seemed like a slam dunk tactic to point out that anyone voting for Trump was voting for someone who commits sexual assault against women, but his voters ate it up.
Who fucking cares about his voters? The point is to motivate everyone else to vote and maybe catch undecided voters by showing a spine.
It didn’t work in 2020 because Hilary’s campaign focused on safe states instead of battleground states. The same thing worked in 2020 because Biden campaigned better. Both won the popular vote, but one didn’t motivate where it mattered.
Do you really think this weak-ass shit they’re doing right now will work better?
