    I’m kind of alright with this…

    Pelosi is a piece of shit and a huge problem not just for the country but the Dem party.

    Being the first people to go down to show everyone else how undeniably serious this shit is, is pretty much the only way old guard neolibs are gonna be useful.

    They won’t fight, and they block people who would from holding their positions. So there’s no benefit from them staying in office.

    Maybe Pelosi being run thru a kangaroo court will make the rest of them finally realize how serious this shit is. Even if they still won’t fight, they might resign and flee the country, again opening up their positions to people willing to fight.

      “The best way to get rid of the fascists is to let them do it! It will clean out the system!”

      Did I read that right?

      You understand this sounds a lot like “Drain the Swamp”? Has it worked?

      I’m also remided of this quote from 2016 or 17:
      “They voted for the elephant in the china shop. They did not realize that they were the china.”

        Nope.

        If they’re going to do it to someone, it might as well be one of the people who let this happen thru inaction and refuses to fight back.

        It would be much worse if he was going after people actually trying to fight back.

          IDK. This still sounds a lot like Drain The Swamp.

          Maybe you need to clarify what exactly the problem is with Pelosi specifically.

            Maybe you need

            I don’t need to do shit, if I had to explain myself to everyone who couldn’t understand what I mean, that’s all I’d ever do

            If you had asked me politely to clarify, I almost definitely would have. But not like this

      Once you allow the kangaroo court to take out Pelosi it will be used against every one that doesn’t fall into line. As much as you may hate her, you can’t concede Democracy against people you don’t like. Once you do that you don’t get it back without much much pain.

      People like you is why we should have people pass some sort of exam to be allowed to vote.
