98. All the replies seem pretty emotional and illogical

They seem to break down into

1) Did you vote for her? Are you in her district?

Ignoring that some are asking for new leadership, not Pelosi's resignation from congress. The voters from her district don't decide House Minority Leader.

2) Oh, that's how it is? Maybe you're a (insert personal attack insinuating that OP/critics are right wing plants)

It's possible to vote Democrat but also want new leadership. It's not like we're winning much nowadays anyway.

3) That's sexist!

See example 2.

4) I stand with (some media personality or other politician) in backing Pelosi.

Yeah, but pointing to someone's thinkpiece is not a cogent argument in favor of keeping Pelosi.



I don't even dislike Pelosi, she's given me some of the best times since I started voting. It's okay to freshen up the brand every decade (that's how long she's been leading us in the House). These are questions one can ask in a healthy democracy. In Britain it's pretty common for the voters to suggest different party leadership (it's encouraged even!) and nobody gets their heads torn off for doing so.
