So far he’s presided over the ouster of David Hogg and the attempted ratfucking of Zohran Mamdani.
I’ll believe results, not “we’re moving to propose a resolution to form a committee to look into it.”
“DNC chair moves to propose resolution to form a committee to create proposals for how to confront corporate donations at some future date” doesn’t have quite tje same ring to it.
Liberals will eat this headline up though and throw it around to “prove” the DNC isn’t really the corrupt, controlled opposition party.
My only question now is whether the angry replies will call me an “idiot who doesn’t understand how government works” or if replies will try to make the argument that this dark and corporate money is a good thing because it helps them ‘win’ elections.
Passing a resolution is a huge step forward?
REG: Right. Now, uh, item four: attainment of world supremacy within the next five years. Uh, Francis, you’ve been doing some work on this.
FRANCIS: Yeah. Thank you, Reg. Well, quite frankly, siblings, I think five years is optimistic, unless we can smash the Roman empire within the next twelve months.
REG: Twelve months?
FRANCIS: Yeah, twelve months. And, let’s face it. As empires go, this is the big one, so we’ve got to get up off our arses and stop just talking about it!
COMMANDOS: Hear! Hear!
LORETTA: I agree. It’s action that counts, not words, and we need action now.
COMMANDOS: Hear! Hear!
REG: You’re right. We could sit around here all day talking, passing resolutions, making clever speeches. It’s not going to shift one Roman soldier!
FRANCIS: So, let’s just stop gabbing on about it. It’s completely pointless and it’s getting us nowhere!
COMMANDOS: Right!
LORETTA: I agree. This is a complete waste of time.
bam
JUDITH: They’ve arrested Brian!
REG: What?
COMMANDOS: What?
JUDITH: They’ve dragged him off! They’re going to crucify him!
REG: Right! This calls for immediate discussion!
COMMANDO #1: Yeah.
JUDITH: What?!
COMMANDO #2: Immediate.
COMMANDO #1: Right.
LORETTA: New motion?
REG: Completely new motion, eh, that, ah-- that there be, ah, immediate action–
FRANCIS: Ah, once the vote has been taken.
REG: Well, obviously once the vote’s been taken. You can’t act another resolution till you’ve voted on it…
JUDITH: Reg, for God’s sake, let’s go now!
REG: Yeah. Yeah.
JUDITH: Please!
REG: Right. Right.
FRANCIS: Fine.
REG: In the-- in the light of fresh information from, ahh, sibling Judith–
LORETTA: Ah, not so fast, Reg.
JUDITH: Reg, for God’s sake, it’s perfectly simple. All you’ve got to do is to go out of that door now, and try to stop the Romans’ nailing him up! It’s happening, Reg! Something’s actually happening, Reg! Can’t you understand?! Ohhh!
slam
REG: Hm. Hm.
FRANCIS: Oh, dear.
What the actual fuck?
It’s a brilliant bit from Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
Ah. Thanks
