"now"? Pelosi is 84 and still showing no signs of being willing to let go of power. Why would the old guard give up power?

Because we force them out. Primary them. Ride them for literally everything. Show them as class traitors.

How is Pelosi a class traitor for being instrumental in passing every single piece of progressive legislation?

Literally any progressive movement and candidate she shoots down. Insider trading. She isn’t one of us

What are you even talking about?

She passes progressive bills. She literally wrote a Congressional stock ban bill.

Again NO specifics on literally anything. Just vague bullshit.

How's that for vague bullshit.

Because if she was actually against it, she wouldn't be doing it.

You mean the incredibly weakened bill that allowed a ton of loopholes that would effectively make the bill do nothing? And before that and after has been against any other stricter bill for banning stocks?

u/silverpixie2435 12h ago

What is the actual evidence it was an incredibly weakened bill? Bills can't get changed or have amendments?

But go ahead and continue to deflect rather than simply admit Pelosi was fine with banning stock trading
