      1. Sanders and Warren are going to face a lot of headwind going forward, and one major source will be Nancy Pelosi.

      Any D POTUS is going to have to deal with the absolute fact that if we're fortunate enough to win the Senate, that means legislation has to get passed by Manchin, Teeter, and Sinema. Even if there's no more filibusters. Pelosi understands that already.

      She doesn't just "understand" that, she wants to mobilize that fact to preserve the status quo that makes her wealthy & powerful. She has no interest in trying to overcome the situation.

          You mention Pelosi's fundraising in your article. Yes, the Bloomberg piece was designed to assure nervous donors. But how are funds going to be raised for congressional candidates? That's Pelosi's concern. That seems a better answer than she has no interest in changing things.

          Nancy knows the reality of trying to win the House with so many gerrymandered districts. The country as a whole is moderate, and the breakdown of the House is even more moderate due to gerrymandering.

          Do you have evidence that Pelosi is acting out of concern for her personal wealth? Or is this just speculation?

          It's not even speculation, he's consciously lying for likes and retweets because he knows fostering outrage against older women is catnip for his "leftist" bro following. (Uncharitable interpretations stated as fact are fun!)

          Grim reality is unless Ds win the trifecta of House/Senate/POTUS, nothing Pelosi can do will overcome the 'situation'. And in that scenario, Pelosi is not the problem. Manchin, Teeter, Sinema and other very conservative new D senators will be.

          That’s never as satisfying as believing that secret money strings are sabotaging our utopia, and if we can just get that one corrupt politician out of the way, then everyone else you just named will do the Right Thing because we live in a Capra film.

          Or maybe she understands the political reality of our current situation and wants to do whatever it takes to get the Orange Shitgibbon out of the Oval? Compromise isn't a dirty word and purity lefties would be wise to learn that. Our country needs healing not a pendulum swing.
