Star Member Yo_Mama_Been_LogginNancy Pelosi Emerges As Unexpected Villain At Netroots NationPHILADELPHIA ― The chatter at Netroots Nation, a progressive gathering that attracts thousands of people each year, was expected to be on the rising influence of the left on the 2020 presidential election. But frustration with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, once considered an avatar of San Francisco liberalism, has emerged as a constant theme ― centered on her recent criticism of progressive members of her caucus.“She doesn’t act this way when Blue Dogs say stupid shit about other Democrats and about the party and constantly criticize the party,” said Markos Moulitsas, the founder of the popular liberal blog Daily Kos, referring to a group of conservative House Democrats. “For some reason, she’s singling out these four for a special brand of conflict. It doesn’t make any sense.”Progressive discontent toward the California Democrat has been simmering for months, with the feeling that the speaker has been putting the interests of the more conservative members of the caucus over the priorities of the left. She has pushed off pursuing impeachment of President Donald Trump and been slow to embrace ideas like the Green New Deal and “Medicare for All.”But it burst into the open when Pelosi gave an interview to The New York Times, dismissing the power of four of the biggest progressive stars in the House: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.).https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nancy-pelosi-netroots_n_5d29ee90e4b0bd7d1e1d0abaHere come the purists again. You guys look so great without a nose.
betsuni10. "I came to Congress fighting with the old establishment, but within months I came to realize thatPelosi can work for us even as she works to protect moderates. I learned quickly that I could not fall on every sword." Former Rep. Donna Edwards. A person with sense.Justice Democrat types alway, always, assign bad intentions and Trojan horse Republican status to Democrats: Pelosi, Obama, Clinton, Biden, etc.
betsuni13. I just saw the funniest thing.A long post about how dare the corporate-stooges-for-the-mega-rich-large-donation-sellout CBC members whose campaign contributions from small donors is only 1% criticize the pure Justice Democrats who don't take any PAC money or large donations.Someone pointed out that the Justice Democrats is a PAC.
