In reply to the discussion: Damn, Pelosi! [View all]lapucelle
(18,652 posts)51. Nancy Pelosi is not in her position by an "earned right".
She was elected by a 2:1 margin by her colleagues in the House Democratic caucus. Anyone who has a problem with it should contact their Democratic congressman and make their feelings known. Representatives answer to the constituency that elected them.
Anyone who is not represented in their district by a Democrat needs to work harder to get one elected.
I worked hard to elect a Democrat in my predominantly red district, and I stand with Nancy.
