      On this Valentine's Day, let's stand in awe of the most intense love in the world, the love Nancy Pelosi has for the Republican Party.https://twitter.com/USATODAY/status/1360715132943405059 …

      This is a disingenuous thing to say. The US needs a viable center-right party of government, not least as a bulwark against radicals and fascists. That's what she's saying and I think you know that.

      After 43 Republican senators voted to acquit a president who fomented a riot against congress, I feel its important for Democratic leaders to hammer away at how Trumpized GOP has become & how distant any return to being a viable center-right party is.

      she's done a lot of that. there's really no contradiction to this. i think you're willfully misinterpreting her words for effect.

      Replying to @joshtpm

      I've admired -- and praised -- Pelosi for taking a hard stance against Marjorie Taylor Greene. But I think this rhetoric conjuring up a strong Republican party really feeds into voter illusions about a return to bipartisanship that undercut the Democrats.

      I think I can synthesize your respective remarks here and say: It’s probably better that intellectuals and scholars like @dziblatt affirm the importance of a strong, small d democratic center-right party as a bulwark against proto-fascism than that center-left pols like Pelosi

      make that macro—view from 30,000 feet observation. Pelosi’s job should be to coldly/clearly describe a revanchist racial nationalist party, in synch with a vast, authoritarian agit-prop media complex, for what it is—and to defeat them. Let the “responsible” center-right party

      emerge from the ashes. But she should let the historians and political theorists—and smart, erudite journalists like you guys—handle that part of it.

      As a practical matter I think that's right. My riposte to Jeet was that I think he was/is essentially rage baiting her to suggest she's saying something she's clearly not. Agree probably best left to big thinkers and poli scis. But I think we know what she's actually saying.

      As a political scientist it is pretty clear what she was saying and you are right. Jeet was just looking for something critical to say to get some likes today. It was disingenuous.

      Affirming the viability of the 2-party system when the reality for the foreseeable future is asymmetrical polarization is bad. It creates false expectations in public, which needs to be steeled for reality of ideological contestation.

          You must know that Pelosi is urging the reformation of a center right party. She is not endorsing the current Republican Party. Even if many people don’t understand that you surely must. You were point scoring today and it was cheap on your part.

          The problem is that the previous iterations of the Republican party were horrible and caused an incredible amount suffering and harm. We should never want a strong Republican party in any iteration. They need to be weak so that the harm they cause can be mitigated.
