Bernie was in the same ads as Pelosi [View all]

that the GOP ran in the GA-06. Yet the people insisting that Nancy "go away" to make room for a "new face" would pillory anyone who suggested the same thing about Bernie.

So how can people justify that kind of hypocrisy? Is it that they do not believe that all people are equal and should be held to the same standards? Or is the loss in Georgia a golden opportunity to resurrect old resentments?

You know, people get tired of being lectured at about losing when those doing the lecturing haven't won a single race, even in liberal districts, and have underperformed other Democratic candidates.

Just because some are certain that their ideas are superior doesn't make it so, particularly when they have no successes to point to. Such a posture clearly isn't about improving the party's electoral prospects since they can't claim to have contributed any successes. So what is it about?
