Charlotte ClymerToday, for the first time in American history, a major political party will have no white men in its top leadership positions in the House.
Leader: Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8)
Whip: Katherine Clark (MA-5)
Chair: Pete Aguilar (CA-33)
504BatteryDrA person's values and political beliefs are more important than skin color/gender, imo.
If new leadership is unwilling to change the current status quo, which has failed the citizens completely, that's not an improvement.
Talking the talk is worthless if they aren't willing to walk the walk.
All 3 of these are proponents of BAU and the neoliberal policies that cause us citizens so much harm.
Our nightmare continues. 🙄
J Miller@504DR @charlotteclymer Well said. Comments as to the nation's troubles being the fault of a particular race and sex (regardless of that race and sex) is bigotry, plain and simple.
MLK's speech about content of character rather than color of skin (with gender added as an update by me) is lost on so many social justice warriors, imo.
Thatcher taught us some women can be awful as some men, scotus Thomas teaches us that some blacks can be as awful as white supremacists, Biden teaches us that some Dems are as awful as GOP.
Bc of this misconception, here we are in 2023 fighting the same battles over/over again, losing ground each time.
All the while, the drum beat of Progressives are the true enemy and must be thwarted at every turn rules the day.
