Ocasio-Cortez Currently Backs Pelosi, ‘Most Progressive Candidate,’ For Speaker
- Thread starter Pet
- Start date
This is the most important part that gets depressed in these 'new house speaker' articles.
To note, one reason all the competition is to her right is because Pelosi hasn't cultivated a progressive base of leaders like she should have been doing.
Can't wait for "liberals" to infest this thread with alt-right talking points about why this is a bad idea.
Will never really understand why they wouldn't want her. She's their favorite boogeyman
Literally half of the mainstream editorial press wishes the Democrats were more conservative than they currently are. Hence them hyping all the pretenders and saying the Justice Democrats would be sabotaging her and even voting in a Republican Speaker if necessary. They're terrified of Nancy playing nice with the left-wing newcomers.
Pelosi has talked about that.
For obvious reasons, she hasnt explicitly named names.
I'm fine with Pelosi, and this raised my respect for Ocasio-Cortez as well. Pelosi knows what she's doing and the last thing I want is to see the Dems devolve into an even more fractured party like the Rs did with the Tea Party folk.
lol no. A freshman congresswoman who has no experience in Congress and has not yet proposed a single bill. Hard Pass. I do like her fight and she's a potential future party leader but Speaker of the House is a super important position that cannot go to a rookie.
The only reason Pelosi's nomination is in question is because moderate Dems who ran against the idea that they'd nominate "liberal" Pelosi to be speaker.
I mean... what other possible outcome were people expecting?
Let's she how she does in a full term before we anoint her anything.
I think she knows her value is a shield and target.
Damn never thought it of that way, but it does make sense
Peeps need to let her actually do the job first. Dope takes on social media =\= being an effective member of Congress.
Just goes to show how deprived Democrats are for politicians they both like and can relate to. We see a good one and it's like a unicorn we want to make president on the spot to try and fill a void feeling.
Shouldn't new progressive leaders kinda cultivate themselves? Would anti-Pelosi liberals really want Nancy Pelosi's handpicked successor as a party leader?
I'd wager many people who oppose Pelosi as speaker have no idea that the people running against her or opposing her in the House are to Pelosi's right.
Then the misogynistic GOP campaign against Pelosi has been successful.
Time to have a nice long introspection about how your opinions are formed.
Is it because they both have vaginas? Misogyny is lame dude. Recognize it and look into why you're going this route.
What insider club is forcing her district to keep re-electing her? More and more it seems people want things to be more undemocratic than it already is just so it "feels" better.
Sounds good. Until you have someone opposing her be just as progressive to run if not more so than the moderates constantly nagging about her and the who-gives-a-damn Right-wing hit pieces, why wouldn't I want Nancy Pelosi?
Pelosi was one of the founding members of the Progressive Caucus, but propaganda has successfully convinced millions that she's a neoliberal centrist.
