If Pelosi is against you capitulating to Republicans, you know you fucked up.

PELOSI‽‽ PELOSI GREW A SPINE‽‽

WHAT TIMELINE ARE WE IN

[-] Fiction@lemm.ee 32 points 2 years ago

Pelosi didn’t grow a spine. She probably sees some way of increasing her net worth.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 22 points 2 years ago

Or she sees it as bad politics, because it is bad politics.

[-] Seleni@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Isn’t she retiring soon?

[-] Sirus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

No before she goes to the Republican side because schumer made a bad decision. Wouldn't that be hilarious?

Feel it is more like "You eeeeeeediot" a la Ren and Stimpy.

Having grown up with that show, pretty sure I was unconsciously channeling that energy. xD

Do you have to keep voting like that, you bloated sack of protoplasm?!

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 2 years ago

Pelosi is a armchair quarterback. She can be all tough because she didn't have a part to play this time.

If she had been involved she'd have rolled over like a thing that rolls over a lot.

Thanks to Chuck, Amy isn't even the worst Schumer any more.

I laughed and cried when I read this.

Pelosi is just as ineffectual and needs to go just as bad...

Her coming out against Schumer is just her self preservation instinct.

We can't afford to let geriatric neoliberals lead the only other alternative to fascism. Even if they wanted to fight, they're not capable of it.

So if they really gave a fuck about the country, we wouldn't have to waste this time screaming at them to get out of the fucking way.

God grant every Democrat the bravery of the ones not running for reelection

[-] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago

Pelosi is just as spineless. More than likely, the instant backlash was probably surprising to these folks since they're so amazingly out of touch. If it starts to look like trouble for reelection/pocketbook, then they pretend to be activists.

[-] Numinous_Ylem@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah right, shut the fuck up and get out of our way already Nancy.

[-] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Haven't clicked on the article, not sure yet. Based on these comments though, if i had literally no other information, either Pelosi or Schumer is super old and bad and needs to retire.

I do have some information though. Both of them need to go away. They still have Bernie Sanders so we should avoid the Jan 6 strategy.

That's because Chuck Schumer is a punk ass bitch.
