Reader and other alternative publications warning that corporate control of the federal government will bring catastrophe for our children and for the planet. I receive a lot of pushback, especially from liberals who argue that Trump is/was such a unique menace that the Democrats had no choice but to join with corporate America to assure victory. The Democratic Party sold out working people long before Donald Trump. It was President Bill Clinton who pivoted to Wall Street. Clinton then ended the main federal antipoverty program (Aid to Families with Dependent Children), passed NAFTA, escalated the drug war, and ended the New Deal restraints on big banks, leading directly to the housing meltdown and the Great Recession of 2008.

Here at Digg, we try our best to cover the most important and confounding memes that come across the timeline. But the web is littered with tons of great memes that never quite hit the mainstream and instead just bounce around the weird corners of Twitter or Reddit.
Enter our recurring feature,
In late February, three days before the South Carolina Democratic primary, Joe Biden’s presidential campaign seemed doomed. Biden had finished no higher than third place in the first two states, Iowa and New Hampshire, and come in a very distant second in Nevada. He desperately needed a strong showing in South Carolina to stay in the race.
That’s when Rep. Jim Clyburn, the highest-ranking Black member in Congress, got behind a lectern in North Charleston, South Carolina, and vouched for his friend. “I know his heart. I know who he is. I know what he is,” Clyburn said of Biden. “I can think of no one with the integrity, no one more committed to the fundamental principles to make this country what it is, than my good friend, my late wife’s great friend, Joe Biden.”
AOC s Bitter Committee Seat Snub Fuels Speculation About Challenge to Schumer
On 12/18/20 at 2:09 PM EST
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might not be ready to challenge Nancy Pelosi for the House speaker s job just yet, but the committee seat she was vying for was clinched by Representative Kathleen Rice on Thursday.
Tensions continue to build within the Democratic caucus after Ocasio-Cortez was pitted against Rice in a contentious secret ballot vote for the last seat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The panel oversees areas ranging from health care policy to climate issues and consumer protection.
While Pelosi and her team presented a slate of their preferred candidates for the other four seats, they left out a nominee for the seat reserved for a New York member, forcing a face-off that would be decided by the Steering and Policy Committee.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party.
The New York Democrat was asked during an interview that aired Wednesday if it was time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to be replaced. She replied, I think so. Ocasio-Cortez was also critical of the party, and said the next generation of leadership has not been groomed.
Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old and recently indicated that her next two-year term as Speaker will be her last, if she wins on January 3rd. Chuck Schumer is 70 years old and was re-elected as Minority Leader last month.
