Pelosi doesn't want change. She likes being in charge, and probably has a dossier on every house member.
She's had a remarkable career, and we are very fortunate to have had her leadership.
But it's time to pass the baton whether she likes it or not. @aoc.bsky.social is the next generation.

Seems preposterous to actually listen to the voters who put you in your seat where you enjoy inside stock tips, health care we pay for, a generous salary and more vaca than working hours, right?
Member race
Where’s The Outrage Sisters?
Democrats elect a dying white man over a woman!
131 to 84 Gerry Connolly defeats AOC for Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee!

Ruth Ginsburg didn't step down.
Look what we got.
Biden didn't bow out soon enough,
Look what happened.
Power, Age, Ego fuck us everytime.
Sick of it.
Yes, she has had a stellar career, but that doesn't excuse her selfish hold on power and leadership. In fact, it shows she LACKS leadership where it really counts.
They want the land
They try us
And fail
They want our hearts
They try themselves
And fail

As far as the full vote of the Caucus ~if they don't give AOC the opportunity now, they will regret it. Hakeem should be whipping votes for her, imho.
I'm hoping, tho, he knows he needs to have a breakout moment & this could/should be it ~especially while she's away recovering from surgery.
I need to see his strategy before the darkness falls.
Let's hope he's picked up that skill, tho & can confidently step out from her shadow.
The time to act, strategically, is now in her absence.
Pelosi is part of the problem! She would never bring the well crafted #MedicareForAll bill to the floor of the House for a vote, even though it was wildly popular with the majority of the citizens! Feel free to blame #Pelosi for why we don’t have #MedicareForAll 😡😡😡
Maybe not so much,
Got it.
The ageism is thick on this site.
I'm 77. I've been voting for Democrats since I was 23. Every single election.
I'm fucking tired of *all* my generation in power. Fire them.
The prevention of letting AOC even be opposition leader on one committee - well, I'm done with these Democrats. Done.
Maybe some new ones, but no these
Yes, by all means let’s have newbies lead us and learn on the job as they go up against trump. And let’s ignore the voting population that wants a strong middle road and less power to the extreme edges
Then convince yourself we don’t need experience right now, we need neuroplasticity.🙄
What a load of crap.
I was trying to be diplomatic, Susan.
We can't be so arrogant as to think a new generation doesn't have an effective or better way.
What she's doing isn't working any more.
She needs to retire now.
AOC is our future
They both need to step aside, for the good of our democracy and the Dem party.
she just has her own list of future leaders, like Hakeem, and AOC ain't on it.
Pelosi wants savvy leaders, not just youth. no one on the other side takes AOC seriously.
Her best last gift could be mentoring and elevating younger generations. I have no hope she will do this, unfortunately. About 20 years ago I watched a town hall type thing with her and it was clear she's deeply uncomfortable with younger gen ideas, questions, attitudes, governing approaches.

I have always seen her for who she is. She is a consummate manipulator and control freak for HER ends. These old folks work WITH the GOP. They all want their comfy lives.
Diane Feinstein had to be propped up.
Pelosi is following in their moribund footsteps.
These women think their political jobs are lifelines to immortality.
Can we set up an oval office desk for Nancy like DT has at Mar a Lago?
Face it, many of our “reps” don’t really represent us anymore. And that’s on both sides.
She has been amazing for 40 years. I got to work with her at the beginning of it. But now I'm over the backstabbing & mini coups. I so want her to leave on a high note. Not like Feinstein who basically died in her senate seat.
