SocraticGadfly: Pramila Jayapal continued to be the head Progressive Cuck

Pramila Jayapal continued to be the head Progressive Cuck

That's of course punning on the Congressional Progressive Caucus, of which she is the chairwoman.

Nine months after caving to Warmonger Joe over Ukraine, she collapsed again, this time to Zionmongers of both parties in the House, over a nonbinding "sense of the House" resolution to support Israel, as offered up by Tex-ass' Charlie Pfluger (R-Not from Pflugerville but worse).

Once again, per the 412-9 vote, most of the Cuck-us caved in. Betty McCollum showed the same courage of convictions that she did over Warmonger Joe's cluster bombs a week ago and voted "present." That stood out even more as a vote of "one." Jayapal couldn't even "help a sister out" with a second "present" vote. Ruben Gallego may actually have been absent, or he may just have absented himself. I won't speculate about the other absentees.

Shockingly, all of the Fraud Squad, including the self-alleged Sephardi Jew Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, actually voted against it.  So did Squad add-on Cori Bush, plus Jamaal Bowman, Andre Carson of Indiana, Summer Lee of greater Philly, and Delia Ramirez of Chicago.

Of course, the CPC surrendered leverage when all Dem Congresscritters, including all of the Fraud, voted for Warmonger Joe's first big Ukrainian arms bazaar bill. And, before AOC, Ilhan, etc. speak out, the Tweet above says Jayapal as CPC chair was speaking for the caucus, not just herself. (And, I checked AOC's Twitter Tuesday night.)

Since over that issue, Jayapal threw her own staff under the bus:

"The Congressional Progressive Caucus hereby withdraws its recent letter to the White House regarding Ukraine. 
"The letter was drafted several months ago, but unfortunately released by staff without vetting. As chair of the Caucus, I accept responsibility for this."

Today's action not surprising, as the denouement of the past few days.

Of course, the Congressional Progressive Caucus itself has become more and more bullshit. Per its own website, it has nearly 100 members, or 40 percent of the Dem Congressional caucus. If you think everybody in there is truly progressive, I've got beachfront in North Dakota to sell you. Proof of that? If those nearly 100 members, only 30 signed the letter to Warmonger Joe.

Of course, the Fraud Squad still hasn't worked to put any actual standards of membership up to become a Progressive Cuck, as tackled by Lily Sanchez at A Current Affair in an AOC call-out, nor has it tried to vote out Jayapal. 

The bottom line on this is that "duopoly exit" is about more than presidential voting.
