Tim Ryan beating Nancy Pelosi on 11/30 is exactly what we need!

[Hortensis]

19. How was she responsible? What should she have done

differently? She didn't make our only victories -- election of 4 women senators happen -- and nor was she responsible for the FBI's betrayal, the conservative plutocracy's scheming, the Kremlin's snowing the nation with fake news, or the Republican voters' betrayal of all avowed principles except opposing Democrats.

Why on earth would we pile blame for all that on two women--except to underline the victory of our enemies? One down, one more to go. Tim Ryan would have made no difference in 2016, and blaming and retiring America's top-ranked female politician would gain us nothing at this point except the delight of the millions of enemies who hate Nancy specifically because she is a woman and a Democrat.

I understand the desire for change, but what on earth to people imagine a newbie pushing himself forward like Ryan would do as leader of the opposition that a power like Nancy Pelosi wouldn't do better?

It's Christmas season; maybe get a nice new pair of slippers instead? The stores are all stocked up and, at this time, as the opposition party, they and pride in Nancy would do us all a lot more good than some mindless, resentful out with the old symbol of what we are and in with an ambitious replacement.

I said before that we need not take a position on everything and should let them and House Democrats decide this, but that's doesn't mean I don't think there is something important to protect and herald here.
