Pelosi’s glory days are over, instead of dissing AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Crockett and other progressives, she should embrace them.
This quote reeks of disdain and resentment of them for not towing the centrist’s line:
“They’re four people and that’s how many votes they got.”
AOC is a shining star!
Prime example of how the failed gerontocracy within the Democratic Party actively and aggressively stifles younger talent. If you want to understand why this party is so utterly incapable of taking on the Republicans, look no further. These obsolete ghouls need to go.
Please everyone call your representatives. Calling your representative has shown to make a difference in these decisions - emailing or messaging has shown not to help
May I please volunteer myself to be the first one to say fuck Pelosi? I can’t believe no one has ever thought of this on both sides of the aisle literally millions of times.
Speaking as an attendee of the 24 DNC convention, the crowd of thousands of democratic movers and shakers were cheering so loud during her speech I thought the paint was going to come off the walls.
We alienate AOC and what she represents at our own peril.
I put together a chart to highlight the problem further. The yellow is % of the total 18+ population by age groups. The brown is the % of congressional representation by age group. Democrats say representation matters. Maybe this is why young people don’t vote. They aren’t represented.
Wait, so does Pelosi not give a shit that Trump’s taking over the White House anymore? Cause this is one of the absolute dumbest things to do if you’re concerned about that.
her net worth is over $150 million and she has never been held accountable. she has no business speaking on who should be in a top leadership role in THE committee that's primary function is to hold congress members accountable
You are aware her husband has always been wealthy? That is where most of her wealth comes from. Also, no one fought harder for women, minorities, marginalized people, and the working class than Pelosi.
In total fairness, I've never heard of him
Which is exactly the kind of marketing strategy a dem party just after losing their incumbent wants. ZERO FIGUREHEADS
The thing is, that's not true. They're a younger caucus than the Dems on the whole and have much more regular turnover in committee & floor leadership. I hate to credit Newt Gingrich with anything, but that's very much his legacy on the Hill outside gridlock & shutdowns.
It is of note that folks don't last to long in the GOP as they either retire, buzz off to pundit or corpo circles, or get voted out through primary (party shived) or general.
It's mostly dem circles where folks age to being a hundred and never let go of power
I meant literally, the freshest face. Everyone else is either photocopied or Matt Gaetz
But you're very correct. Democrat leadership, since Clinton, has ostracized younger generations and refused to listen or get them involved in leading. They'll pander for votes, but don't offer a seat at the tabl
That ghoul needs to be primaried all the way to a cheap retirement home. She is the embodiment of everything wrong with the democrats and liberals as a whole and she's showing her colors again.
It's to become the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee now that Jamie Raskin will be the ranking member of Judiciary. It's a move to limit AOC's leadership, not remove her from Congress.
Oh they just want to limit her leadership don't they? Gee well as a guy who liked AOC and wants her to have more leadership I think that sucks. Thanks for telling me. That was a great contribution to the conversation, it really changed my mind on this.
Dial it down. Clarifications are just that: clarifying a misreading. We all do it. There was no "slap in the face." So put down the pearls. I wasn't defending Pelosi.
I think when people like Connolly start to lose committee positions, they will start retiring. Pelosi only cares about her own power. She would rather have Trump as President than have to cede power to another Democrat.

no one has fought harder? you got to be fucking kidding. she literally was one of the first to blame the LGBTQ community for Harris losing
blue maga is wild lol
She's spent all this time being a Democrat in SF and not dying, so she is entitled to getting her way, right?

such a dead party.
Dianne Feinstein, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi—the list is long. The powers that be would pull a Weekend at Bernie’s if they could get away with it.
Still the kind of clarification that feels like a slap in the face :v
