House Democrat Sanchez: 'I think it's time' for Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team to go'

[JHan]

34. Pelosi is actually quite progressive

Pelosi as speaker and minority leader would have to triangulate with dems along the entire spectrum. Her business is to get votes to pass legislation or keep Dems united against a harmful republican agenda.

I am also wary of this "true progressive " talk, democrats agree on general points in the main, but may disagree on how to get there. "True progressives" sounds like divisive sanctimoniousness.

"Goddess" "worship" - why even use those words? because no one can admire her for her work and political skills? Support for her must be blind admiration with no substance? Really?

I like Nancy but I do not worship her, and those who support her have solid reasons why they respect her political acumen.

Further, Pelosi is in place because her colleagues like her there.

I repeat: if Sanchez wants to make waves or knows someone who would be better, she needs to convince her colleagues instead of whining to reporters. Her argument seems to be "Nancy is too old, we gotta get someone new" - if that is the best she's got, I am not impressed.
