Pelosi to Progressive Colleagues: Stop attacking centrists on Twitter
- Thread starter Mulciber
- Start date
Attack tweets are stupid as hell, especially when they're geared towards people you should be having open discourse with. Calling out other reps from behind your phone and saying nothing to their face is weak shit. A lot of reps do this shit, not just the handful of progressives.
for someone complaining about others being obtuse and focusing on irrelevant details, you have ironically missed a key detail from the article itself!
The Blue Dogs have been a more effective 'tea party of the left' so far.
Lol pathetic. Pelosi attacks them daily but when they speak up to her over aiding concentration camps they need to quiet down. The fuck out of here
So the woman that threw one of the first black muslim congress woman under the bus and joined in a public smear campaign to appease lobbyists and a genocidal state is now telling people not to call her and her cronies out on twitter?
What? Is it only allowed when it's targeting muslims?

Yeah, I see her line of logic. I just also see why people are pissed off at her. She has a supremely unpleasant position.
You can only do things you want if you have a majority, and you can only have a majority of you don't eat yourselves from the inside out (or if you gerrymander the hell out of the country). Fight with leadership, yes, but don't drag down those Democrats in vulnerable districts.
They're a team, and if you don't like the team's strategy you talk to the boss, you don't pick on your team mates.

She repeatedly shits on them. Mocks their ideas with language that is dead or repeated weeks later by Republicans.
Now she implicitly threatens to take away committee assignments when they defend themselves and respond in kind?

Literally the exact same morning Pelosi doubled down and repeated her jabs to progressives. She got no right to any of this statement.
Social Media has opened a door that can never be closed. Trump understood quite well the power of direct communication to constantly keep the spotlight on himself. Politics has essentially become a reality TV show now and there is no turning back. Regardless of how well you may be doing for your constituents, it is fruitless if the people are not being constantly being reminded of it. Furthermore, it allows for saying one thing and doing something behind the backs of constituents.
So, the old, wise and decrepit Nancy is playing by the old rules and that is ineffective.

No, she's telling Mark Pocan not to call Abigail Spanberger a child abuser.
It even says in the article Pelosi is fine with progressives attacking her instead
I can't tell if this tweet is in support of a "left freedom caucus" or not.
The only reason the GOP hasn't been more effective since they came into power is because their dumbass ultra-conservative wing fucks everything up "on principle" all the damn time. The Freedom Caucus sometimes saves the day for the left because they're so damned stubborn that they won't go along with leadership.
Big "no thanks" to having that shit on the left.
No one reads newspapers anymore! Who cares what she says in those! But Twitter, everyone gets their news from Twitter! Don't criticize members of your own party where other people will actually see or hear it!
I agree. Her tone has been awful if her overall goal is unity. Patronizing people does not make people want to work with you.
Pelosi has never been one for being cushy though, so I'm not exactly surprised.
Ah I see we've preemptively prepared our "we lost to Trump again solely because of the progressives!!!!!" excuse.
Yes, classic "Kirblar read the 4th article of the article" post.
We do have that shit on the left already, it's just everyone thought a Democratic Freedom Caucus would be a bloc of progressives when it's actually a bloc of moderates.
Remember y'all, its important to keep the blue dogs even if that means doing nothing for the rest of existence
... as her constituent, she needs to leave and go back to Baltimore.
She's literally the old person in the office lashing out at the younger people for making her have to do more then she has for the last 10 years, just to keep up appearances in the presence of those willing to work.
2 months before she starts snitching on the10 minute bathroom breaks and after lunch walks.

The issue with replicating the Freedom Caucus' tactics is that the left doesn't have the stomach to inflict massive pain on people in order to exact ideological purity from bills by playing hardball. I don't think this is actually a weakness, I think it's a good thing. It makes them "less effective" but it also makes them not monstrous assholes.

You're such a disingenuous lap dog insit's insane. Acting like this wasnt spurned by AoC (and others) to excuse this bullshit is so fucking pathetic.
You do have that on the left. It's the blue dogs. We cling to their graces because they're slightly better than a fascist and can sometimes be counted on for a vote when it won't risk their incumbency.
The liberal side of the party has the luxury of spouting off on Twitter. The Democrats who have to represent districts that are 50/50 split don't. The liberal side continues to alienate themselves into irrelevancy.
The most important vote a member of Congress makes each session is the one for Speaker. Which is why keeping a majority is so important. The liberals would rather lose the majority than actually come to the table and negotiate. I don't understand how their tactics benefits anyone other than the republicans who are salivating at the thought of taking back those swing districts.

This is probably the correct take. It's also a different position than the GOP, in that the FC is an extreme outlier, but for the Dems, the moderate caucus in the House actually lines up pretty close to the ideological makeup of the Senate due to the Senate's conservative lean. And so instead of that caucus being annoying holdouts, they have the opposite problem in the House, where that bloc of the caucus is willing to roll over and just go with whatever the Senate does.
Does she think they are still in school and she is a homeroom teacher?
"If you got an issue, complain to me in private."
Go away Pelosi.

Again, we are blamed for Trump and the republicans meanwhile Nancy and her ilk keeps rolling over for anything the republicans want.
Having a majority means literally nothing of they're not going to do the jobs they were voted in to do.
You want to explain why it's ok for Pelosi to attack her own colleagues?
