Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

    You mean her formal position as speaker of the house?

    What an amazingly condescending tone to turn on your mod flag for. And to be so wrong!

      Speaker of the House is different from Minority Leader.

      She was removed as Speaker when the House fell to Republican control.

      She voluntarily stepped down as minority leader almost exactly 2 years ago, replaced by Hakeem Jeffries.

      She’s no longer a leader of the party other than in terms of seniority. Hasn’t been for 2 years.

        Calm down with the paragraph breaks

        We’re talking about leadership within the democratic party

        Not leadership positions in congress

          She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.

          The only thing separating her from any other person in Congress is seniority. She’s #5 in congress behind 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats:

          Hal Rogers - R - Kentucky - Dean of the House
          Chris Smith - R - New Jersey
          Steny Hoyer - D - Maryland
          Marcy Kaptur - D - Ohio

          I can’t speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today. Steny Hoyer, definitely.

            She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.

            She has donors and money and client patron relationships with people in power, including the current democratic party leadership in your formulation

            I can’t speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today.

            Yes that’s correct
