Of 13 current members on anti-Pelosi list, 10 are to the right of the Democratic caucus median & 11 are to the right of Pelosi. Copying Freedom Caucus tactics, but not a revolt from the left. Capitulating to a centrist minority of caucus would have implications for the session.
And 14 of 17 are men.

(4,516 posts)think she is not progressive enough.
If they get their way they may be stuck with a centrist Speaker.
Also I dont think anyone here has come up with a name (who wants the job) to replace her or a valid reason to.

(14,971 posts)by these same members are being sponsored by Joe Liebermans pro-business, conservative No Labels group. Any progressive whos on board needs to read through them carefully. I dont trust Lieberman as far as I can throw him. My worry is that theyre trying to take advantage of new members who may not be familiar with all the rules ,with things that sound good but really arent . I know this because a No Labels member was on Hardball last night.

I think we found out that we dint need to compromise to win elections.

Dont replace a proven winner.
