In reply to the discussion: Just so you know, if Pelosi goes, she gets replaced with a centrist. [View all]Johnny2X2X
(23,696 posts)So Nancy Pelosi is the absolute line in the sand? We can't even debate replacing her?
This is a website centered on the Democratic Party, yet we aren't even allowed to question the leadership of our party.
The Party is in shambles, absolute shambles, denying that is not working for the Democratic Party. Pelosi is despised by Middle America, that is a fact. Doesn't mean I don't like her, but Donald Trump is about 10 points more favorable than her in National Polls. We laugh at the Reps for tying themselves to Trump and his dismal 37% approval rating when we're sticking with Nancy Pelosi as the face of our party when she has a 28% favorable rating. Heck, and that's up for her, she was at 25% for most of the election year.
Pelosi's leadership is not as effective when she's so disliked. Not saying she isn't a great person or a great Congresswoman, but egad, she is an utter failure as the face of our party. Do people realize Paul freaking Ryan is more popular than Pelosi? And Dems aren't running against Ryan, they're running against Trump who is way more popular than Pelosi (who Reps love to run against).
Posts like these are getting deleted. There is zero soul searching allowed. Do you see the state the Party is in? The country is screwed without our party being at least a strong opponent, but we just keep getting steam rolled and anyone who questions why is being labeled as an insurgent.
It's like we don't even pay attention to what the Reps say about the Dems that is working so well. When they are talking about the Washington establishment who are getting rich, (BS or not), the face they are pointing to is Pelosi over and over, and it's working. They painted Pelosi as everything that is wrong with government and it worked.
WE NEED TO CHANGE AS A PARTY OR WE WILL LOSE IN 2018!!!
