Damn, Pelosi!

69. She doesn't head the DCCC

This is the head of the DCCC. https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9399860
Why arent you calling for him to step down? He recruits candidates. He allocates resources, and he is laying down for the critics who want to see equal rights abandoned. He's repeating their nonsensical rhetoric that the "economic interests of working people" can be achieved by abandoning abortion rights, completely ignoring the fact that doing so results in sharp increases in poverty for women and children. Could that be why we see so much misdirection toward a Pelosi, who has executed flawlessly her job of holding the Dem caucus together?

You aren't the arbiter of what's good for the party, and you can hardly claim to know that her leaving the position would be good for the party without knowing her replacement. New is not always better. Surely Trump is evidence of that.

I'm beyond tired of hearing the contentless mantra of change. The country got change with Trump. How is that working out? Change for the sake of change results in idiocy. what we need is good thoughtful policy and principled positions on issues.

When Obama's advisors proposed that change slogan to him in 2008, he didn't like it. He rightly said it was vapid. But damn if it hasn't persisted, only to become less substantive by the day.
