Can anyone point out any substantive criticism of Pelosi?

49. Maybe someone could answer a few questions for me, Buck

-- Why did she take impeachment off the table in 2006? Why did she do so a second time on Election Night 2018?

Practical whip count realities aside, it seems to me that as strong and powerful a leader as her supporters claim Pelosi to be would not be one to unilaterally disarm so quickly. Just the potential threat of impeachment would be enough to scare some Republicans into more conducive behavior on a host of other issues. (Republicans, as we all know, are motivated almost entirely by fear alone.)

-- Why can't she and the other nearly-octogenarian leaders of the House Democratic Caucus support MfA (which more than half of all Americans now favor) instead of pay-go, which is "economically illiterate and politically insane"?

Could it be because she received more than $200,000 in donations from the healthcare sector in the 2017-18 cycle?

Dozens of Democrats across the country won their races campaigning on single payer or Medicare for All. What are they supposed to tell their constituents if -- by supporting Pelosi for speaker -- they do not keep their promise?

-- Why do people accuse her opponents of sexism when the foremost opposition candidate is a black woman, Marcia Fudge?

-- Why has Trump endorsed her for Speaker?

-- Why do so many in this forum attack progressives, like AOC, for opposing her when in fact Pelosi has their stated support?

This is not/should not be another proxy for the 2016 primary.

I have more but I'll pause and see what kind of responses these draw.
