if the House has 215 regular Democrats, 215 Republicans, , and 5 Democratic Socialists, who's in charge?

In the Senate has 49 normal Democrats, 49 Republicans ,and 2 Democratic Socialists, who's in charge?

I think both questions have the same answer - the DSA. The Socialists. the Dems will dance to their tune.

Edit: JMHO

Looks like we are all in agreement, since nobody has dissented. Let us all hope this situation does not come about in either House. The people leading this change are the hardcore TDSers and the Straight Ticket Dems.

AIPAC is in charge

It’s cute that you think that there is no difference between anti-Israel and anti-Semite. Typical AIPAC donor mentality. But, I’ll let it go since you leave in the RGV. News probably travels slower to you than the rest of the democratic world.

Typical DSA donor mentality.

I see no difference in the way you use it. Like saying you hate Texas jaguars but are Ok with mexican jaguars.

I don't live in the RGV any longer. Long time gone. But yes, born there, 2 miles north of Mexico. Mixed family, some anglo, some hispamic, some north of the Rio, some south., But neat to see that you think so little of my South Texas and Mexican cousins, as well as Israelis. You need to get your stereotypes straight, leftists make sooooo many bad assumptions based on stereotypes and bias.,

BTW, about as likely to donate to AIPAc as to Jasmine Crockett or Talamasca.. Where did that come from? Oh, yeah, stereotypes.
