Wow. Damned shame.

This decision has mad "no it's the voters who are wrong" energy

Fuck these clowns now fr

They learned nothing.

And he has esophageal cancer which is tough one

FFS

Meer-i-ca it's what irony is made of!

God damn it

😡

Absolute idiots! We don’t need another 75 year old out of touch white male in power - that’s effectively the entire GOP

...With cancer

Chicken sh$&s! AOC is what the future of the Democratic Party. She is not perfect but she understands the current state of things than most in DC!

Dummies 🤷🏼‍♀️

I thought I heard recently that Connolly has a terminal cancer diagnosis?

This is Pelosi’s doing. She needs to retire.

Well, yeah. They can't elevate a Berniecrat! This is just the corporate Dems getting a VERY early start on rigging the 2028 primary.

Controlled opposition.

Nancy Pelosi's Democratic party is just a jobs program for aging boomers to hold onto power they've held and abused since the 80s.

Yeah she's proved she fits in nicely.

Another old white guy

There’s nothing up and coming about AOC. She is a star of the Democratic Party. I don’t want to second guess the internal deliberations of a private meeting but I hope that her talents will be utilized well.

They certainly look the part. It's quite frustrating, even when you don't actually live in the country, to see the only relatively sane party so apparently determined to lose, even when they have a chance to win.

I keep thinking that their donors are literally paying them to lose, it's one of the most reasonable explanations.

Such BS - Dems are going to destroy themselves

Let’s GO @aoc.bsky.social

I’m so tired of the old men!

Off course the DNC will never allow a progressive and populist to hold such power… she’s gonna have claw her way to the top of the party and fight hard against the establishment.

I'm so frustrated and angry! Why do we think rich, old white men even understand the problems, let alone the solutions. I hate it here.

As is tradition

Oh ffs.

They have chosen the path of failure. Anyway, Democrats only use the party's progressive voices to win votes, then they get relegated.

This is fear and loathing in the Democratic Party. Because doing the the thing that doesn't work is how we roll! Gee, I wonder why we lost the youth vote.

It worked so well for us last time. 🙄 It's time for half of them to retire.

Write your rep. Go on the record. I HATE the old Dem party machine.

Paradoxically, the older I get the more tired I become of the worsening gerontocracy

sigh. they just don’t learn

AOC deserved this leadership position.

I’m not AOC’s biggest fan, but this is stupid, petty, and insulting.

That's a freaking shame.

So gross. THE STATUS QUO IS NOT WORKING!!!

We need a separate "Progressive" party, apparently. Sigh.

By all means, use the wisdom of the older generations, but it's time to allow the younger gens to move the party forward

You idiots just fucked yourselves. What a bunch of shit! I stand with AOC!!!

One who has lost his voice from cancer at a critical time to save a country. Call your Congress member - AOC on HOC: www.house.gov/representati... bsky.app/profile/erin...

If it was Harris they’d have probably picked her…

They're going to keep losing ignoring the Progressive wing of the party.

They deserved to lose in November and they deserve to continue losing - so many are already rolling over for Trump. Destroy the parties and the system! They are just as responsible for the pain that will be brought on by Trump. #fkthedems

We need to AgeGate Congress, we already do it on the way in and we should be doing it on the way out Besides don’t these fossils all have grandchildren, great grandchildren, they are family matriarchs and patriarchs, for Christ sakes live a little before you die

Who was on the committee?

Terrible call

They have not learned anything.

And yet, I’m zero percent shocked

Not until the voters do...

Give me an effing break..... Stale old (man) ideas is what got us back the Orange Fanta Fuhrer

Crazy 🤪 AOC is brilliant and what we need in leadership.

the hearse race continues unabated

Democrats will continue to lose until the fossils in dem leadership are voted out or die of old age

Dems love stepping over themselves to stub their own toes...

Stop supporting the Democrat party, for the love of fuck.

A LOT of Dems and Reps are incredibly racist and sexist still... so this doesn't surprise me I'm the slightest

🤦🏽‍♀️

I'm so sick of old, white men refusing to give up some of their power.

This makes me so mad! AOC is poised and ready! NO women in the house in leader positions is also scary to think about. 😓🤬

Not surprised. Dems never fail to disappoint.

I like Connelly. But this is very odd.

This, right here is why the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging voters. When will they ever learn?

😡

The Democratic party is controlled opposition, fully owned by billionaire donors.

Boooo

At least Gerry is in good health, right? RIGHT???

Another old white dude. Make it stop! We need diversity. We need young.

If this is how the party is choosing its next round of leaders, then they're committing to losing.

👏my👏party👏learns👏nothing👏 Going centrist gets marginally more votes but loses more left wing voters. We need to stop this

So tired of old people running things. Like I get that they have the experience, however they aren't going to be alive in 20 years. They're out of touch and don't understand what regular people go through. AOC also has had regular jobs. like myself, unlike certain career politicians.

These boomers are never going to go away, are they?

They’re gonna keep losing if keep showing this much blatant disdain for young progressive voters

Because we don't have enough old white men in Congress.

Is there anything Democrats hate more than young people who vote for them?

How is the lesson they've learned from 2024 that they need to be even MORE old, moderate and ineffectual?

They love being pathetic failures honestly

I'm sooo tired of old white men! Speaking as a grandmother, it's way past time that we pass the torch to the younger generation. AOC would have been awesome in this position. Color me angry and sad.

That generation had better fucking bow out. The unmitigated selfishness!

Call your dem rep to urge them to vote for AOC re vote tomorrow

HUGE mistake.

Pelosi forcing Biden to not run is going to bite her in the rear end. Hopefully the person she wants loses and I call that karma.

Hope his cancer is doing well - I wish it all the best

Wish Pelosi would go away!

UGH 😫

I am tired of these losers...

😱The old gang still controls, it has to be their way. And they have the gall to wonder why they lose elections! Self serving established hypocrites as far as I can see! Am I wrong?..

Ageism much?

I'm surprised!

If they become older and more right wing, they'll SURELY do better in the next election!

Get rid of that ignorant fossil...

I'm about ready to give up on the Democratic Party. They seem to have decided that it is better to lose to Trump than to let new thinking in.

JFC!!

The Dems do nothing better than screw up opportunities. Why did we lose, lots of reasons…but let’s just keep the same leadership anyway.

Dumb bunnies!!! 🤬🤬🤬. I thought AOC was going to get it.

This will be the last breath of the decrepit DNC.

Time for AOC and everyone else to leave the Dem party. If they would rather die off then fight let them.

Unbelievable

Pelosi should be forced to confront this outright sabotage of social progress and leadership for the rest of her life.

He's a nice guy, but these boomers really need to step aside.

I see no reason to assume that any of them would stick around at that point.

lmao you think Dem leadership would be dissidents instead of instantly caving to Trump and happily giving him everything he wants

Are you party dems ever going to learn? This isn't how you win the hearts and minds of the youth or us old hippies. This is how you vote for the money and power in Washington. Same old BS. I'm starting to think the dem party deserved to lose.

But the norms! 🤢

I’m so tired of this shit

Well, they don't want to set a pecedent that you can succeed in politics if you're not an old white man

Big Mistake...

We can’t get out of our own way.

DAMN fucking Dems always fucking it up and dropping the ball ...GRRRRR we need people like AOC and others who fight for equality and rights for all

I really think the Democrats must like to lose at this point.

What's with all these old folks who don't know when it's time to leave the stage? I'm a senior and love the third act.

Literally who is this guy?

AOC for president, but as you say it'll be her own party that stops this happening

Unsurprising. They don't want to win.

Sad choice. Wanted the young people on these committees. More passion about their future!

Hey look , she kneecapped Biden…no doubt. But she turned out to be right . Only problem was,she and the rest of the Party waited too long. Still ranks as the most effective Speaker in my lifetime. She OWNED Trump! I don’t see anyone in the Party able to fill her shoes, right now…including Jeffries

“don’t know why we were losing elections”. This! Stop picking the old white man and then asking brown people to vote for you!!

Wtf is it with Americas obsession with OLD WHITE FUCKING MEN?
