The Rude Pundit: AOC Fucks the Patriarchy's Shit Up

[NurseJackie]

74. I do not think so.

I do not think so. It's one thing for a politician to express the sentiments and raw emotions of the far-left elements of the Democratic party... but it's quite another thing to be able to govern effectively when rookie politicians lack a willingness to compromise and seek out areas with mutual benefit. The "all or nothing" approach and the "my way or the highway" philosophy is one that simply creates more stagnation.

All I'm trying to say is that if a politician claims to be "progress-ive" then that politician (no matter who she or he may be) should be willing to do the things, and make the hard choices, and engage in the "give-and-take" that actually leads to (ahem) PROGRESS!

These are the things that are learned through experience, or a willingness to show respect and watch and listen. Nancy Pelosi deserves respect, not scorn, not ridicule, not ageist insults that we continue to hear from certain elements. She understands how things work and she knows how to get her message across while maintaining her dignity and decorum. Nancy has the perfect temperament for her position. She's no bull-in-a-china-shop... she's not careless. She draws from her EXPERIENCE. She's thoughtful and calculated, and that's just what we need.

Nancy Pelosi is the best. We're lucky to have her.
