is perfect but here at DU we can both support and criticize our elected leaders feeling free to let our voices be heard. Will never agree with her choice to refuse to impeach Bush/Cheney for war crimes. Yet she was a real work horse and got so much legislation through the House only to be filibustered by republicans in the senate

And now is not time sit back let GOP commit suicide. We do not need leadership change with democrats at the moment, will need her to capitalize on trump and GOP self induced Jonestown.

we don't need to behead the party prematurely. IF someone emerges who can supplant Ms Pelosi, fine, I'm all for it. But for now, she is what we need as a fund raiser and a leader. We do have several young guns who might fit the bill, but they need to prove themselves over time IMNSHO.

Funny how the same people who scream how we need to move the party to the left want to oust one of the most progressive leaders in the House.

She's a woman who is smart and effective, which are 3 reasons the Rethugs hate her. She truly can herd cats.

That being said, I also think there are those folks here who are either a)trolls, or b)beginning to do those things we see all the time on the other side of the aisle. They look at the headline, make a decision about what was said or done based on that, and don't read the article, or check the source to even see if it's legit. Just last night I served on a jury regarding a post dealing with "What Nancy said", and how could she think re-taking the House was unimportant? I know we're trolled regularly, and they kick up shit just to see us go at each other, but we can't stoop to their level.

And why don't we have a "troll" emoji? We really need one!

There's a reason people are intimidated by her, by Hillary, by Kamala Harris. They're badasses.
