Would love to see her in the White House one day, assuming she's got more to offer than her speeches.

    She's fairly active as far as house members in the minority. They mostly sit on committees and do boring shit (a reason governors, etc, typically look better for pres) but an interview with her suggested that even working within her own party is a challenge at times since the Dems are so ineffective as a whole.

    Remember they chose an old cancer (?) patient over her for an important position since they do seniority rules. It's apparently quite awful.

    Maybe if she keeps representing the ownership class she might make it into the big club some day.

    Yup, I can't trust politicians who claim to be progressive until they obtain power and start doing the things they promise, like how Mamdani is doing. Until then, everyone is a wolf in sheep's clothing, like Barack Obama.

    There are some races where being progressive actually works against the candidate (like Graham Platner for instance) and it's easier for me to trust those folks' authenticity, but I generally assume everyone's a Fetterman until proven innocent.
