Saikat Chakrabarti has audacious plans to change American politics.
SAN FRANCISCO — Saikat Chakrabarti faces a daunting enough task in trying to oust Nancy Pelosi from Congress. And now here he is, daydreaming about targeting her successor in Democratic leadership.
“Imagine if we go after Hakeem Jeffries as our first thing,” he says. “That will raise a ton of money right now, in this moment.”
This moment, in Chakrabarti’s mind, is the prospect of a populist uprising on the left that spans the country, and one that he is hoping to ride to victory in his primary challenge against the former speaker. And then, after taking down a political giant, comes the hard part: transforming the Democratic Party. So I’m in the open-floor office of his upstart campaign in San Francisco, asking about money for how he’ll fuel his revolt against the establishment. I’m asking about money because I’m trying to grapple with Chakrabarti’s vision for reshaping the political landscape, which feels far-fetched, but which he has already done once before. Kind of.
Saikat (pronounced Shoy-kaht) Chakrabarti isn’t your typical primary challenger, and this isn’t his first time trying to play on a major political stage.
Chakrabarti’s re-emergence comes eight years after he co-founded Justice Democrats, that badgery rank of progressive outsiders who crashed Capitol Hill in President Donald Trump’s first term, fueling a constant diet of stories with some version of Dems in Disarray. After managing the campaign for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s stunning upset victory in 2018, Chakrabarti spent eight months on the Hill as her first chief of staff where he admits to “ruffling feathers.” Some have sharper words — Drew Hammill, the former longtime Pelosi spokesperson, told me that I would be “hard-pressed to find any member that served at the time that doesn’t remember this guy threatening to take down...

I’m not seeing a lot of policy discussion.
I am seeing a lot of money discussion.
I think this is about raising money and skimming money. Nothing more.
I think its pretty much a given that the Progressives will take over the Democratic party. They will push out the Old Guard, including anyone with any remaining sanity. Then they will move the Party even further to the Left. Probably to the point where all they do is openly have perverted sex, rally for Palestine and plot revolution. Best of luck to ‘em.
This is great!
This will be the end of the
progressive Democrat party.
Americans are more centrist,
than extreme.
Sure they do stupid and
elect Clintons, but they
also elect Reagans.
Uh, Nancy Pelosi is pushing 86... Father Time is defeating her without breaking a sweat.
Bkmk
This is San Franfreako, so yes Saikat Chewbacca (pronounced Sasquatch) does have a chance. /spit
From wikipedia...
“Chakrabarti led the Ocasio-Cortez staff and several progressive groups in writing the Green New Deal resolution[24] that was submitted to the House of Representatives by Ocasio-Cortez and to the Senate by Ed Markey February 7, 2019. The New Yorker quoted him as saying, “We spent the weekend learning how to put laws together. We looked up how to write resolutions.”[24] The Washington Post quoted him as well:
“it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all... we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.”[25] “
There another wiener running against Pelosi - Scott Wiener! A flaming LGBTQRSTUV gay.

She just can’t let go of that power, can she? What an obscene absurdity for her to run again. Go home, Nancy. You’re making a fool of yourself.
it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all
Total BS. They stole the entire "Green New Deal" thing from Europe, word for word, which was written to address "climate change". That was why they were shocked to find out it contained provisions to end cow farts and airplanes..
AOC, Zohran Mamdani, Omar Fateh and Ilhan Omar.
She should run, win and then resign. Add another special election. She needs to prove the party isn’t that crazy.
The only way Pelosi leaves Congress is in a body bag.
I think a law should be passed that socialism, communism, Muslim and anything against the constitution and a free market society should be punishable by death.
