I really doubt Pelosi's ego is as bruised as some of the posters here. This was not a protest in opposition to the congresswoman herself. They are trying to get her to feel their urgency.

Just Saw An Interview With One Young Man Me. Sep 2017 #105

But it does make people lose sympathy for them, even liberal Democrats unitedwethrive Sep 2017 #52

This sympathy stuff is a load of crap. They were sending a message to The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #56

Not if you think about it for more than the half second you just did. stevenleser Sep 2017 #80

You have a pretty low opinion of Pelosi to think that she could have her The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #88

Again you didn't read and think it through. I specifically indicated I did not think she was like stevenleser Sep 2017 #90

I recall very well constant protests that took place during Vietnam at congressional offices The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #91

That's not the effing point maxrandb Sep 2017 #128

I disagree. I have attended several pro-DACA rallies, but I don't have any desire to again. unitedwethrive Sep 2017 #95

Sour taste! How appallingly dreadful! The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #97

Without support, their movement is going to be diminished. unitedwethrive Sep 2017 #99

First of all, the Democrats have no power to move this forward without the GOP who are Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #66

Then maybe she should voice her discontent to the party in complete power? Blue_Tires Sep 2017 #70

Agree... Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #157

Something is fishy. Why protest someone trying to make DACA a law and not... brush Sep 2017 #7

Who said they were protesting HER? I think there is a basic misunderstanding The_Casual_Observer Sep 2017 #12

Tell that to the poster who wrote the head of the OP. brush Sep 2017 #27

They booed her and I am offended to see a Dem leader booed for no reason...fuck them. Demsrule86 Sep 2017 #67

I heard a spokesperson for this point of view marybourg Sep 2017 #31

So they don't want help with the Dreamers? What you describe seems to be another issue. brush Sep 2017 #42

Agree. I was kinda startled to hear this POV. nt marybourg Sep 2017 #44

Making DACA a law is doable, adding others not in that age group of O's EO may... brush Sep 2017 #139

People do not get this!!!! loyalsister Sep 2017 #161

And you think she doesn't get the urgency? JHan Sep 2017 #176

She doesn't feel the same urgency they do loyalsister Sep 2017 #180

Nancy Pelosi's main objective at this point.. JHan Sep 2017 #181
