you summed it up well and it makes sense. They are certainly *living* like their *priority* is to make no real decisions and do no real work. They go out of their way time and time again to reemphasize this ideal. And all the Gerocrats show just how *successful* it's been.
It's really way past time to clean house. Mamdani showed us it *can* happen, billionaires and useless hangers on be damned.
As much as it pains me to say, I put Bernie firmly in the "do nothing" camp. He only speaks to when it's too late and almost always toes the line when it actually matters.
AOC is still young enough to do right, though. She can still do some shit.
It seems like non-white Democrat Congress members are the only ones who understand the stakes. Folks like Al Green and "The Squad". Incidentally, I was super pissed when Cori Bush got beaten by an AIPAC lackey around here a couple years ago.
There are people in there trying to do what they were elected to do, but they are a minority. Everybody else just arranging deck chairs on the Titanic with a fucking smile.
