    1. Current Democratic arguments about Nancy Pelosi would benefit from some appreciation of her historical achievements.

        2. Pelosi, along with Obama & the Clintons, is one of the key shapers of the modern Democratic party, for better or worse.

        What strikes me, the unembarrassed embrace of the quintessential New Yorker by the opposition, yet Dems turn against Pelosi.

        Troops need supplies, global economy would have collapsed, and She's not going to support the sitting Dem president?! 🙄😒

        They`ve been bashing Pelosi for years, She's become GOP campaign fodder their base recognizes.

        Yeah, it such bullshit when some of the left say this. As if black and brown people aren't regular people.

        What is even the argument here? That there is some potential Democratic leader who Republicans won't demonize in attack ads?

        That calls for more exposure of the DNC tag-team of Perez & Ellison. Not replacing an effective parliamentarian, tactician & strategist

        Depends on how it's reconfigured. Prioritizing the concerns of white lefties wouldn't necessarily help w/Af-Am or Latino turnout & may hurt.

        But the larger point is that it's racist bullshit to say the Democrats aren't *already* the party of regular people.
