Sexism is as sexism does. GOPers can't handle a woman in power.
The GOP's dark money machine hung Pelosi around the neck of candidate Ossoff in Georgia a few months ago like a giant mill stone. He lost by a few points and might have won if not for Pelosi. As for 2018, right now, I think Michael Moore is better informed about the electorate than Pelosi.
But why do you think they hate Pelosi so much?
Because she is a far-left extremist who wants 90% tax rates abortions in every Walmart??
Oh Moldy. Grammy must have spanked you hard today.
Impossible! Nancy Pelosi is a liberal No self-respecting liberal would be caught dead in a Mal-wart.
Wow! 90% off on abortions? I'm gonna go get one right now, and I'm not even pregnant! Hey, a sales a sale, amirite? Thanks, Moddy! I hear that CVS has a BOGO deal on prostate exams…..
Because she has a vagina and that freaks out many of the RWNJs.
Why do they hate Pelosi so much? Well, she is a San Francisco liberal; need I say more?
Seriously, she is the target of the same far righties, with all their fake news, as Hillary was in the campaign. You know them (a few examples of the many): Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, Breitbart, InfoWars, and religious right pathetic losers like Tony Perkins, Franklin Graham, and Falwell Jr. Hillary's campaign staff allowed these far righties to define who she was as a candidate, which she didn't help much with some of her gaffes and history. But, if Pelosi was to step down as minority leader in January, when the 2nd session of this congress convenes, I think that would improve the Dems' chances of re-taking the House.
I agree. It's probably time for the entire top leadership of the House Dems to retire. That's not criticism of their achievements when they were in power but recognition that their time has come and gone.
That said, I do think Pelosi's gender is what gets the far righties all cranked up. Do you see them going batshit crazy over Chuck Shumer who is almost as liberal as she is?
There is also a difference in how they trash Bernie versus how they trash Elizabeth Warren. The far righties criticize Bernie for his left wing views bur with Warren, it's more personal (e.g., Pocahontas).
But the Dems do need younger leadership. Half of whom should be women.
Following the Senate vote in favor of silencing Senator Warren, Senator McConnell said on the Senate floor:
"Senator Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted."
This would never have happened to a man.
Pelosi played a very key role in getting the Affordable Care Act, and as the first woman Speaker, she has her place in history. Not sure what is to be gained by hanging on to power. Republicans will smear whomever is the Demo leader, but it would be nice to have all new Demo House leadership going into 2018. Might make a real difference.
I agree- but we should choose leaders based on leadership abilities and policy alignment, not on who we think will make the RWNJ s less mad, or have a younger , more marketable image. We don't want to allow the enemy to choose our leaders for us.
But that is exactly how the far right wing handled the Hillary campaign ("allow the enemy to choose our leaders for us").
Dems are still complacent despite snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last year. Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.
Or, as Henry Ford said, "History is bunk."
If we'd ever learn anything from history, we'd stop putting the Henry Ford's of the world on pedestals for everything that fell out of their mouths and onto a reporter's tablet. He's the prototypical rich-guy-that-should-be-ignored except for what he accomplished.
The immense accumulation of wealth alone does not quality one as, or even lend real credence towards making, a person into a sociological, political, moral, or philosophical genius — or even make their blatherings any more true.
Well said, Dio.
