Pelosi, unlike Dick Gephardt has kept her caucus in line. That is why some want her to go.

We need unity.

This is more like a daycare rebellion. Kindergartners are far more mature than those in Congress calling for Pelosi's head.

When he turns 77 next month, he'll still be the youngest.

that will make our three House leaders a combined 232 years old.

Pelosi is an excellent legislative leader and should stay in that position.

Candidate recruitment and election strategy should primarily be handled by the DNC.

I haven't seen anyone blaming them.....just Nancy?

You are violating the TOS by suggesting I can't quote him, I think.

Victoria Brownworth? @VABVOX 22h22 hours ago

The big hot take from the white male pundit class on @ossoff's loss is it's @NancyPelosi's fault.

You guys are out of your misogynist minds.

Kompromat Apple Ally? @CandyAppleAlly

The "Pelosi must go" campaign reminds me that if Republicans demonize a successful woman enough, Democratic dudes will eventually join in

The subject VKKV posted about is real news. This is not something VKKV just made up. There are a number of articles claiming that multiple Democrats in Congress are suggesting that Nancy Pelosi should be out as the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives. If VKKV had refused to post this information the refusal to post the information would not have erased the fact that some in the Democratic Party are calling for Pelosi to resign as leader of the party in the House of Representatives.

...it's an orchestrated campaign top drive wedges between Democrats, apparently adopted by dense Democrats who think it's good politics to bash our Democratic leader in the aftermath, not anyone else in the party, just her.

Just coincidence.

There are other people including men who are mentioned in other articles. In addition, I think the CNN article included at least one man who was calling for Nancy Pelosi to lose her leadership position. Furthermore, the push for Nancy Pelosi to give up her leadership position is not new. It has been going on for years. Nancy Pelosi is not as popular in Washington, D.C. as she is outside Washington, D.C.

Some people have been quietly calling on to Pelosi be replaced as early as 2008. There are some in Washington, D.C. who think she is too heavy handed with her leadership. Some think she tries to force her members to cast votes that are bad for their political careers. Now, the idea that Pelosi is heavy handed in her leadership might stem from misogyny, but reporting on the idea that some Democrats want her to step down from her leadership position in not misogyny.

I was very displeased when his office told me that he would 'join' with the GOP for the good of the citizens...these are folks who want to collude with Trump and Nancy stops them cold ...thank God.

should win.

its the 0-4 in congressional races. Someone has to be blamed, and it looks like Pelosi is the low hanging fruit. I dont agree with it, Im just pointing out what I think is happening.

...the latest in a string of orchestrated attacks on Democratic women leaders.

outside the House chamber.

To be more clear, that is MISOGYNIST Democratic Rep. KATHLEEN RICE...of NEW YORK... thee most conservative state in the union...

...and hiding behind Rice is pathetic.

...you're a willing echo of that misogynistic campaign against our Women Democratic leaders.

...at best.

Thank you.

isn't around to kick anymore, It must be Pelosi's fault.

It can't be those men in charge of the party....Ellison and Perez. No they are too busy cleaning up Debbie WS mess to do their job of getting Democrats elected.

See a pattern?

There are 435 seats. Making a huge deal of just 4 is for propaganda purposes. Perspective.

Smack my ass and call me Sally, who would have ever expected this?

Of course, it's always a woman's fault!

It says "a small group" is saying she should leave. And it quotes mostly one representative (with a second getting a quick line in). There are 193 Democratic members of the House.

There are indubitably some who fear that, like Ossoff, they will be branded by Republicans with the bogey-man (er, woman) "Pelosi" meme. They're obviously more interested in Republican narratives than those of our party.

We lose when we work from a position of fear that some other contingency has magical powers, and lose sight of our own brand. The Republicans didn't do that during their losses of the Obama years. They doubled down and held their positions. But every time some close election is lost, we seem to go running like little scared mice.

Time for a new "spokesmodel" or whatever.

And God knows I'm no giant fan of much anything mainstream, including my liberal politicians, Pelosi has A) done a good job, B) has nothing to do with GA's 06, and C) makes Democrats look weak in the minds of many voters.

Republicans would double down on the situation and start airing adds with Pelosi front and center. That's what Republicans would do, and Republicans might be assholes who can't govern, but they seem to be good at winning elections.

Would they get rid of Ryan, or would they double down on the bet?

Tom Perez is in charge of election strategy now, besides that. I would have preferred Ellison, but thats a whole other thread

Democrats have to give in so easily?

There are an awful lot of swing voters who base their decisions purely on their perception of strength. Donald Trump, for instance, is exactly what a weak man thinks a strong man looks like.

Some of that's misogyny, but our female representatives weren't getting their votes anyway, not unless the woman has an R after her name.

Switching faces for no good reason? Like losing GA 06 closely, in the same percentage the primaries were? Massive achievement. Changing our Pelosi now makes us look weak and scared, not to mention empower the conservative bullies.

of getting Democrats elected. Why should he stay?

But like I said, the thread is about Pelosi, not Ellison/Perez. I'll need antacids for that conversation.

Considering the extent to which their leads have shrunk, I don't think districts in which Trump won by under ten points would have been nearly as inclined to re-elect a rep from that party.

Please cite some evidence for this claim.

Some of these folks are worried about their re-election. Ryan is in Ohio...but I will explain to him that he is more at risk if he pisses off Democrats.

we shouldn't be slandering members of our Party with that word, even if you disagree with their tactics or policy positions.

since the vote didn't go their way, and they are unhappy about that, they want to scape goat Pelosi, thinking that they can get their way, instead of respecting the vote, and waiting until the vote comes up in the next session. What this SMALL GROUP is doing is trying to do is divide the Democrats.

I will put it bluntly. F**k them.

consider stepping down for trying to divide Democrats with this nonsense

MY VOTES,

But now I'm a misogynist for saying that we need new House leadership.

Pelosi is a GREAT Congresswoman..

as Speaker?

Meh !!

with that perhaps because her candidate did not win those votes for house minority leader.

The House Democrats will determine who will lead them, but representative Rice thinks it is cool to go through the MSM, and use Pelosi as a scape goat to lay the Democratic problems on Pelosi. I have a problem with that for multiple reasons, not the least that this gives the Pelosi hating right wing an opportunity to sow divisions among Democrats, that our illustrious media is only too willing to exploit like they did throughout 2016 with their double standard coverage.

As for someone characterizing this as misogyny, I don't know who said that or where that came from, but it never came from me

primary her.

Might come in handy the next time elizabeth warren says something that gets a bunch of people here cheesed off--- or better yet. someone feels the need to start a thread about Tulsi Gabbard.

Something about not criticizing Democrats--- I know it is because I'm reminded of it whenever I mention Harry Reid's scathing critique of DWS's management of the DNC.

She is very effective and there is a concerted effort to get rid of her and install a guy from a red state who would be forced to work with Trump and end the fight...sorry (not really) NO.

This TOS thing is really confusing!

Bad press, bad media coverage? Get rid of Sean Spicer, and everything will turn around!

Can a woman really be a misogynist? How is Kathleen Rice a misogynist? What has she said or done, other than call for Nancy Pelosi to lose her leadership position, that proves that she is strongly biased against women? In addition, if a woman can actually be a misogynist, why would Kathleen Rice be a Democrat if she were actually a misogynist?

I am inclined to primary her as she hurts us.

mean so much? Such exaggeration and unneeded drama.

They are often from right leaning districts and Nancy stops them. Ryan is my guy, and I will be calling him today.
