15. Pelosi was the best Speaker of the House, in my lifetime.

Maybe there was always some kind of silent revolution underfoot.
Maybe, it started with the voice of Bernie Sanders, a progressive prophet of sorts,
was what guided A more skilled and thoughtful young youth to push forward and even go out of their way

to Actually try to Represent the people in this Democracy by the People.

I think there is a movement - and I think Nancy Pelosi deserves a lot of credit for politically sending
the right kind of political message.

Why are you here, why did you choose to get elected into office as a US congress member - who do you represent,
and why?

We see that in order to keep a Democracy, actually to improve people's lives in a democratic way, takes real conviction,
and it takes real contribution from informed citizens who know, it's not me, or us, against them. This isn't a market competition when we talk about equality and public safety. It's not a market competition when we talk about disease, or when we talk about man-made climate change due to fossil fuels.

We're talking about elected officials being hopefully the most informed, duly elected to lead the way.

Not bantering or stupid "The Apprentice" slogans - btw, what an asshole Trump is - as most people know!
