    IMO it became very evident very quickly after Trump became president, that Pelosi was extremely bad for the Democrats. Pelosi actively prevented Democrats from acting on issues that had a clear majority and great significance.
    It’s absolutely a plus for Democrats that Pelosi is finally out.

      Her insider trading was also drawing a lot of heat. Now we’ve all forgotten about it!

        Not with you reminding us of it! Goddammit.

        Alright, everybody gather around and look steadily at this little flash light.

        We must also not forget that there’s a bunch of Republicans that made even more profit than her doing the same thing but they never get talked about! Politicians should only be allowed to invest in total market ETFs!

      I would go back further to the Dubya days and say it’s been clear since that era that Pelosi was not great and new leadership was necessary.

          I remember that too and it was obviously a bunch of nonsense back then. It’s just people playing politics and trying to frame the discourse in ways that favor their side. The quotes there are pretty funny, Alter doing some warmongering and Klein calling the kettle black.

        Remember when she promised to defund the Iraq War so we all voted for them and then they did nothing?
