When she won the Speaker vote she immediately came out and said she would focus on bringing the Demo party back together. Not ensuring the country gets the best product... But ensuring they were as tight as possible. That told me what she really cares about. Don't even look at her stock purchase history... Shit.
Yea fuck Bernie too for saying the same thing and then caucusing with dems right? Working with them to write legislation right? Nah he should just make a petulant lemmy post…
When a majority of the country votes for trump and can’t be bothered to vote for anything progressive at any down ballot level this past election I dont see the value in blaming pelosi.
Progressives should take responsibility for their actions. I’m one and I agree.
Progressives lost in the ballot box too and they shouldn’t have. I just don’t see how shitting on half the blue party does anything but explain that, not change it. If anything your words explain the apathy that handed trump the office. BUT, not an apathy of democratic representation… an apathy of democratic participation.
So yea, you’re handing it all to fascists… they didn’t get it by chance they get it because you split hairs and told everyone just don’t show up…
Pelosi don’t win by lottery. The speaker is elected by vote of reps that Americans in turn voted for.
Likely the issue is more than what you infer? Maybe the issue includes finding someone to elect who cares for and about progressives, their causes etc… Maybe blue voters should have been ENCOURAGED RATHER THAN DISCOURAGED. But after all if pelosi exists you have every reason to justify trump.
What has Bernie done these past few years compared to your words now? He advocated for the working WITH the Democratic Party…
…not for trump just cause bs purity tests.
