Isn’t it interesting that Bernie Bros, most of whom are probably not even registered Democrats, just like their leader, feel entitled to demand who should Democrats elect as their Speaker.
It’s just the usual bullshit from the usual suspects. Anyone who can look at the results of the last election and decide that “the DCCC and Pelosi have failed miserably” is just not worth the time to respond to. And georgeh has been singing this tune non-stop for at least the past two years. It’s old and it’s tired.

I think you have lost your mind. Sorry but money is necessary to get elected and whoever raises it gets respect.

Sorry but money is bribes are necessary to get elected and whoever raises it gives them gets respect.
FIFY
This letter shows clearly who owns “Nancy.” She is such a prodigious fund-raiser!
Touched a nerve? I don’t know you, just like you don’t know me, but in my own, first-hand interactions with Bernie bros. that I do know, they swerved from Bernie to Trump or didn’t vote. But then, they were just following his lead. If you don’t think their low-intensity misogyny was a real problem then we’ll have to disagree about that.

Maybe I should adopt that practice of georgeh’s and have a bolded signature line:

Money is a neccessary evil, yes.
But it can appear unseemly
It can but not here. This is one of the main functions of the party and of the leaders of the party - raising money for candidacies to get power and stay in power.

No, I just know when people falsely play the sexism card to try to silence people they don’t agree with, which is what you tried to do.
It is clear what goes on here:
Criticizing Republican female politicians is fine.
Criticizing Democratic female politicians is sexist.
Why don’t you call people “sexist” who criticize Cindy Hyde-Smith, Joni Ernst, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, etc.?
Yes, misogyny is a huge problem. This country was founded by white-supremacist male misogynists.
My criticisms of Nancy “Pay-Go” Pelosi are about her record, not her gender. If you read my posts, I don’t use derogatory references to her gender because it is not at all relevant to me.
No democracy, no justice
I think this message is not for “Democrats”, but is for 16 assholes who would make a Republican speaker unless we bribe them with something that is impossible to give them.

It is not a question of Democracy. There is no one but Nancy who can get the votes. The question is whether Democrats want Nancy or a Republican speaker.

Sorry, not true, actually. If Nancy “Pay-Go” Pelosi stepped down, another Democrat would step up and get the votes. In spite of what her sycophants think, she is not the only Democrat who is capable of being Speaker.
Who? Who will be acceptable to the hostage takers and everybody else? Let them step forward now so people can discuss support for them!
And what on earth does hostage taking have to do with “democracy”?

I hear what you say. But I don’t see how donors beliefs reflect on these freshman congress members. Can you expand your statement a bit?
Nobody is going to step-up unless Pelosi steps down. She has bribed enough of the Democratic Caucus members to vote for her that no one is going to challenge her. (What do you think she does with all that money she raises?)
Requiring a popular candidate to step down is rather un-democratic don’t you think?
Your paranoid delusion that Pelosi’s campaigning (and, really she’s hardly lifted a finger at this point - Pelosi is really quite popular) is bribery, while other’s bribery is campaigning, is pretty blatant partisanship.

Nah, it’s just his usual knee-jerk reaction to anything about Pelosi. He doesn’t like her, clearly, but cannot articulate exactly why other than lame, not to mention meaningless, insults like “Pay-Go.” It’s just as worthless as his oft-repeated mantra, “No democracy, no justice,” which, as in this instance, is completely irrelevant to anything under discussion.
It’s just the usual bullshit from the usual suspects.

No, sorry, she ain’t popular. Follow the money. She bribes her caucus for votes.
"There is no love lost for Nancy Pelosi, even among Democrats.
As Rep. Pelosi (D-Calif.) spends the week back on Capitol Hill trying to persuade her colleagues to give her another run at House speaker, fewer than one-quarter of self-identified Democrats — 23 percent — say their party’s lawmakers should pick her, while a larger 36 percent say they should choose “someone else” and a 41 percent plurality have no opinion, according to a new poll released Wednesday by Monmouth University."
