Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Joe Crowley Berates Ro Khanna In Congress For Bucking The Establishment" video.

  1. I think it would be awesome if he came out to pull the endorsement entirely. It might give the movement that extra push and enthusiasm to defeat Crowley in that district, and it would be epic if that happened. Although, on the other end, if Crowley wins and becomes the new speaker of the House, Khanna will be fucked and it will be near impossible to bring progressive legislation to the floor. This is why politics is pure shit to begin with, and it's near impossible for someone to be 100% perfect in everything they do especially situations that require political calculation and strategy as it seems Khanna tried to do here but backlashed on him in a big way in both directions.

  2. +Protemp - Not really. Go look at Jimmy Dore's comment section. People are basically saying Khanna's sold out for good and to never trust him again even with Khanna's near perfect voting record. I'm sure that if it was the other way around and a politician had a corporatist voting record and then endorsed someone that is progressive and threatens the establishment, the establishment groups like Joe Crowley would forgive him instantly. Unfortunately, I feel like many progressives are becoming purists. It's already ridiculously tough for politicians to make it through Washington without corporate money to back them and never having the money they need to do the things that need to be done in Washington, but now many progressives are essentially saying political calculations and strategies are off the table too. I agree it was the wrong move to endorse Crowley, but looking at the broader picture, we are essentially disarming our politicians completely and asking them to fight blind with no money and no political strategy to get bills passed that are actually beneficial the American people. It's less of Ro Khanna's fault and more the fault of American politics and the establishment. The whole system is massively flawed and corrupt to begin with.

  3. +gary smith - What was so "swampy" about it exactly? Explain yourself, because as far as I can tell he went on Jimmy Dore to explain his actions and admitted it was a mistake. I'll remind you Ro Khanna has a near perfect voting record.

  5. +Max Chavez - If Ro would've backstabbed Crowley (even though Crowley was already acting like it and was yelling at Ro on the House floor), it would've been epic and he could've been a hero by doing it, but in all fairness it might've been Ro Khanna's drama with his endorsement mistake that led to more coverage of the election and allowed Cortez to win so whatever works!

  6. +Max Chavez - The Dem establishment is shitting itself though it's true. I watched a CNN clip earlier just to see and they were acting panicked saying "So many candidates are in trouble. Right now it's Cortez and then it will be Ben Jealous who are causing upset" (paraphrasing but that's the gist).
