Nancy Pelosi on Andrea Mitchell just now... listen to the end...a suggestion

[NowsTheTime]

[emulatorloo]

1. Can you summarize in a sentence or two? Thanks!

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. She supports Biden, but equivocates, and doesn't rule out other options. Nt

[Lovie777]

3. Coming from an astute lady....................

I admire her greatly.

[bigtree]

4. she didn't say that. she was talking about what others had said to her.

..it was an entire segment of Rep. Pelosi expressing support and confidence in Joe Biden

What was the quote where you're claiming this happened?

Sick of misinformation. Your post used all of the support she expressed to gaslight about what the leader's remarks were in response to a DUer asking what she had said. You completely misrepresented the interview and her responses.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. Best I could do in one sentence, as was requested

Although Pelosi raved about Biden’s record as president, I wouldn’t call her response a full throated unconditional endorsement of Biden the candidate.

She clearly acknowledged that the campaign had work to do to reassure voters and repair the damage done by Biden’s poor performance at the debate. She even said “I’m not a doctor, who knows what could happen 3-4 years from now”.

She also acknowledged that Biden could drop out, saying “that’s his decision to make”, while not taking a position for, or importantly, against him withdrawing from the race.

9. absolute bull

... that's why you couldn't find a quote to post from the interview to back up ANY of your claims.

Post one.

Positing in response to MITCHELL's question that she thinks interviews with major press would do him good isn't anything of the kind you're claiming.

Ffs, he's just announced an interview with ABC.

You couldn't have spun that more biased against Pres. Biden if you were Andrea Mitchell, herself.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. I re-edited my post to include a quote, nt

[bigtree]

11. still bull

...this isn't what you say it is.

“I’m not a doctor, who knows what could happen 3-4 years from now”

Mitchell badgered her and she responded with incredulousness, not some slam on Biden.

Man, seems you worked as hard as you could to undo the good she tried to do for our candidate in that interview for DUers looking on...

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. I guess we see things differently. Nt

[bigtree]

13. you distorted the interview to suit some anti-Biden screed

...incredible exchanges from you.

You tried to justify it by posting a quote clearly meant to tell Mitchell to fuck off.

What is this?

[blurplenurple]

19. Haven't been at DU long...

But exchanges like this is why I'm abandoning ship.

Your attitude toward the other member is disgusting. "Friendly forums for passion Dems!" is a complete lie. I came to DU hoping for a more compassionate, thoughtful space, and, unfortunately, it sucks just as much as Reddit. I doubt much anyone will see this, but y'all need to get your shit together.

...And for what it's worth, asking Biden to prove that he's up to the job is the *least* I should be able to expect from our party. Bashing anyone and everyone who saw the debate and is *understandably* concerned is just telling people, "Don't look up." Not a good look.

Good bye and good riddance.

[bigtree]

24. I've had it with the lies about Democrats and our candidate

...those posts I responded to contained both.

Absolute lies. No way around that.

Is that what you come here to see?

[Joinfortmill]

27. Hang in for awhile. It's been a rough few days.

[blurplenurple]

34. It's not just the last few days.

It's the entire six months I've been here (and lurking before that).

If we want to live up to being a big-tent party, then we sure need to start treating everyone with respect. If we can't even do that on an explicitly-Democratic forum (with a tagline using the word "friendly," no less), then I'm pretty concerned about how alienated people are going to feel in the general population. We need to get as many people to vote for Biden as possible. What I'm seeing here on DU ain't gonna cut it.

And, for real, what's with not having an option to delete your entire account? I went to do that after my above comment, couldn't find it, then found a couple posts explaining it's not allowed. Kind of weird.

[Joinfortmill]

37. It's the same even within my extended family

It might be the human condition. Wishing you well.

[emulatorloo]

31. FWIW Biden's been proving he's more than up for the job for 3+ years. Everyone gets a bad cold sometime. Please hang

around for a while, this is a rough time. Tempers are flaring a bit, not always like this.

And welcome to DU!

[blurplenurple]

36. Oh, I agree, and I'm voting for Biden if he's on the ballot.

But he needs to prove to everyone on the fence (who have *good* reason to doubt after the debate) that he's still up to the job; a bad cold doesn't begin to explain some of his answers. His first term boasts some amazing accomplishments, especially considering the total dysfunction of the Republicans, but I genuinely worry that won't be enough. The average voter doesn't pay attention like people on DU. They don't remember these things at the ballot box. The onus is on Joe to prove he's still got it, and no amount of berating others online (not referring to you) is going to fix that. He's got to do the work.

5. She equivocates since the Supreme Court threw a monkey wrench in the politics.

We're kind of in uncharted territory here, and the Media echo chamber still isn't helping Biden any, still harping on the age and debate performance. There's not been a break-out -yet.
I suspect she's thinking of having Biden use Media Access to rehabilitate his "image" and point out how the Supreme Court activity is making Project 2025 more likely, and what that could mean for the US. I could be wrong, but she may subtly be pushing him to step outside his comfort zone and address the elephant shitting in the middle of the room.

6. she absolutely did not equivocate in her support and confidence in the president to continue

...did not happen.

[oasis]

7. Nancy, great as ever . Stayed on point. Entire

interview was worth watching.

Thank you for posting

[NowsTheTime]

14. I appologise to all. At the 8 to 9 minute mark Andrea suggest and Nancy agrees Joe should have one or two interviews ...

...with a serious journalist, no holds barred, to show and re-affirm all of us about what he believes, what he cares about, answer any questions, etc.

I guess I should have said that.

[emulatorloo]

32. Thanks!

[honest.abe]

15. This is the key quote "that's his decision to make".

If she was 100% supporting Joe, her comment would be "Joe is our candidate. He is not stepping down".

[bigtree]

16. you don't get to make up words and claim she means those

...what a sham.

This is what the pundits do to our party and candidates.

The just make shit up and ignore what they actually said, like you did here.

[honest.abe]

17. Was that not her quote??

[bigtree]

18. the one you clipped and distorted with your projection?

...the entire interview was the leader supporting and expressing confidence in Pres. Biden's abilities under withering propaganda from Mitchell.

In no way did the leader express any disapproval or lack of support for the president. It was exactly the opposite, so you're just projecting and distorting what she said throughout.

Why? How can you even imagine that was her intention after praising the president all ways but Sunday in that interview with a hostile host?

[honest.abe]

20. I assume you are 100% supporting Joe. Would you say "that's his decision to make" if asked should he step down?

I suspect not. Why did she use those words if she was 100% supporting Joe?

[bigtree]

22. it's actually a simple truth

...unlike the twist of her appearance and remarks that you're trying to sell.

[honest.abe]

23. Maybe. We shall see how this plays out.

[bigtree]

25. alright, abe

[Bongo Prophet]

28. I support Joe 100%, AND agree that it is his decision to make. Not so difficult to parse that.

[Red Mountain]

30. She's not wrong

it is 100% his choice to make.

I think the issue is interpreting her words (or lack thereof) for us to mean something she may have had no intention of saying. That's a REAL stretch.

Look hard enough for something and you're going to find it.

That applies equally to what Nancy didn't say as it does to divisions that weaken the Democratic party.

[Irish_Dem]

35. Same thing Raskin said yesterday.

So it appears that Biden is thinking things over.

[Joinfortmill]

21. She was excellent. Straight talk and pro Joe.

Tensions are high, people. But, let's try to be courteous.

[BigDemVoter]

26. Andrea Mitchell can FUCK OFF.

[dweller]

29. Let's be courteous

Andrea Mitchell can please FUCK OFF.


Thank you
