Nancy Pelosi announces her retirement.

42. You could have just asked Bluetus to respect the retirement thread and start a new discussion

It’s funny that I have to pretend this is about some virtuous commitment to the truth when it’s really Pelosi vs Mamdani or old guard vs new guard. Bluetus made points about the need for a new guard. If you thought it was inappropriate to criticize Pelosi in this thread, just say so at the start. If you don’t want anyone to discuss the pro and cons of progressive vs more conservative Democratic Party policies, discuss that. There might be some spin in Bluetus’s responses, but I found them perfectly intelligible. I would have answered a simple “not to my knowledge”, really doubt that would have satisfied you because your ultimate grievance doesn’t seem to be just with the statement “It is notable that she never endorsed the Democratic candidate for NYC Mayor, which is her right, of course”, which is obviously true. I grow tired of intraparty partisanship designed to chill speech in the guise of non-partisan adherence to some unattainable deontological epistemology.
