And I say this as someone who wants the mantle passed, I am all for new blood...

The people who want her removed don't actually want to do the hard work to remove her, they want her to remove herself, they want her to perform weakness, they want her to admit that she is unworthy to be speaker. Yes they want her gone, but they want her to amputate herself.

Note the arguments "It's time for her to go" Notably absent from these fucking jokers is any discussion on how to persuade their colleagues to not support her. Very little discussion about changing epople's minds of challenging her in a fair fight and winning it. In other words, what is their strategy? Why has their strategy failed? It's not just down to Nancy. They have failed to make their case and they want her to pay for them failing to make their case.

And I am told that these are the sorts of people I should have confidence in to run Democrats in the House.

As for progressives pushing this, knowing who is behind the anti-pelosi attacks, makes me realise some progressives have no fucking clue what the hell they want.
