Just wanted to remind everyone that James Carville is a old neo-liberal and still sucks but I wish nothing but the best for him with the 2026 results.

    [Copy/pasting this from another thread because it’s important:]

    Can we start talking about who we would like to see in those congressional leadership roles?

    For starters, here are some potential names for Senate Majority Leader:

    • Corry Booker [Heard]
    • Elizabeth Warren
    • Jon Ossoff
    • Chris Van Hollen

    And for Speaker of the House:

    • Jamie Raskin
    • Ro Khanna
    • Robert Garcia
    • Pramila Jayapal

    Feel free to discuss pros and cons regarding any of them, or add more names to the lists. We need to have this conversation now.

      I would love Elizabeth Warren. I’ve seen Jon Ossoff touted as a potential future presidential candidate. I don’t know him that well, but I suspect it wouldn’t make sense to make him SML and then run him. Not that I don’t like EW as a presidential candidate, I think she’d be great as SML for the next 6+ years.

      Corey Booker might be good but I’m not sold (not that my buy in matters). I couldn’t tell if some of what he did was self-serving performative bullshit or genuine. CVH isn’t on my radar so I don’t have strong feelings.

      For speaker those all sound good. RG isn’t on my radar either.

        Fuck Booker. He’s a piece of shit centrist fuckface. He endorsed Bloomberg, DeBlasio and Adams when they all ran for NYC mayor, but he refused to endorse Mamdani lying that he “does not endorse mayoral candidates,” hoping/thinking people won’t remember or that they’re stupid.

        He also didn’t endorse or speak very positively about El-Sayed.

        AIPAC is pulling his strings. Fuck that guy.
