General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Argument about Nancy Pelosi is Destructive. [View all]calimary
(90,130 posts)I wondered about that, just this morning.
Say we do win in November and flip the House. Then comes the vote for Speaker.
Are we REALLY gonna dissolve into internal bickering and divisiveness quibbling over who should be Speaker?
Are we REALLY gonna tarnish that win we will just have worked so hard to earn?
Are we REALLY gonna mess up the narrative, that badly? So badly that the media and the opposition both take that up and run with it -about how all Democrats can do is fight among themselves and won't get anything done and they've thus turned a big victory into a bigger and colossally embarrassing world-class public relations blunder?
Are we REALLY gonna voluntarily make ourselves look like jerks? And just keep on feeding the narrative that Democrats are famous for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?
WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT, Brothers and Sisters!
