From the other recent post in the Luigi community:

the top three DOJ officials under Attorney General Merrick Garland have all represented massive healthcare companies during their respective stints in private practice before joining the DOJ.

Because of COURSE they did 🤦🤬

Missed chance to swap to the much more badass golden eagle. Or be honest about the state of American democracy and choose the dodo…

“Business leaders” my ass! They’re oligarchs who will be first against the wall come the revolution!

The IRS doesn’t like can’t afford to go after those that can fight back

And that’s by design, of course.

To quote ImPastaSyndrome: 2023

Wasn’t that Perjury Greene’s threat?

Especially when it comes to Biden. He’s shown himself to be an extremely stubborn conservative Democrat in the Manchin mold.

Or just come, I guess 🤷

“Government doesn’t help you! Re-elect me so I can keep making sure of that!” - every “small government” fascist

Every time you think Greg Abbott can’t be any more of a disgusting and gleefully cruel monster, the little piss-baby proves you wrong 🤬

shrewd political operator

Could mean he knows how to get things done. Could mean that he has little to no ideological consistency. Usually a mixture of both but mostly the latter.

incremental progress

Usually 1 step forward when already 5 behind the rest of the world. Incrementalists are usually willing to trade 3 steps back to fascists negotiating in bad faith in the name of holy bipartisanship.

a progressive who is not willing to let perfect get in the way of good.

You mean a Neoliberal incrementalist trying to pretend to be a progressive while continuing to work for billionaires and their corporations against the working class?

I bet you were!

Sounds like you’re describing a carbon copy of Jeffries. There’s already way too many of those kind of politicians in Dem leadership. That’s why they lost every part of government to fascists.

Speaker House Minority Leader Jeffries

Is the last person to talk about billionaires and other things that shouldn’t exist:

Ben Wikler, Wisconsin Dem Party Chair who’s a front runner for DNC chair

Another hypocrite pretending to be against oligarchy while being backed by oligarchs

Ken Martin, Minnesota DFL Chair, also a front runner for DNC chair

This guy looks promising, but there’s little to no donor information readily available on him, so grounds for cautious optimism at best.

James Skoufis, NY 42nd District State Senator

Again little to no public donor disclosure, which is very ominous for a state Senator from NY of all states…

TL;DR: Dem leadership consists mainly of hypocrites who are as beholden to billionaires as their (much worse in almost all other aspects) fascist colleagues.
