How ignorant do you have to be to think that the House Minority Leader would have anything to do with Senate matters like confirmations of federal judges?
Also I love that your complaint is that she's not loud mouthed enough, in a thread that is criticizing her for speaking with confidence about an outcome with a high probability of happening. This is classic institutional sexism. Rhetoric is just empty bluster. Pelosi actually gets results.
Except I said I support her comments on Colbert. But you wouldn't bother to actually read my pots would you. You guys just have your pre-programmed responses to everything, it's sad. Look at the state of the Dems and the US today, it fucking sucks. But you're happy with that because she gets """"results"""""", which is really reflected in the US right now, a really fantastic country. She is the leader of the party, and figurehead which along with Schumer is supposed to campaign for electoral victories, which are so few are far between the Dems. The policies she's implemented have been mediocre for the last decade, but that's never her fault
of course as a previous poster pointed out.
You seriously think Pelosi is on the Right of the Dems? Are you out of your mind? Not only does she have a decades-long history , but she represents San Francisco. How on Earth would the representative of SF be one of the most conservative Democrats?
She doesn't support single-payer, the most important policy discussion within the party. She says the party will always be capitalist. Maybe she's on the right-wing because she IDEOLOGICALLY agrees with them, and not because of some weird analysis that she comes from a liberal city so she must be left-wing, which fails to explains guys like Cuomo, like Clinton etc.
I'm not arguing any further. I kept foraging into politics threads here and I must say I've observed a very odd ideology among the US liberals. They a) love punching left rather than right, b) are happy to excuse candidates unpopularity because they get "results", even when in instances like HRC that leads to them losing elections and causing billions to suffer and c) are always so happy to absolve their leaders of blame. Nothing is ever Pelosi's or Obama's fault, they a perfect people despite the state the country is in. You can't critique them because we "need to concentrate on the real enemy". That type of thinking limits any capacity for self-improvement and is a reason why the Democrats keep managing to lose elections despite the demographics and Republican craziness (obviously things like voter suppression are a problem too).
I just wish you all asked for a little more from your leaders, but I'm afraid it'll never happen.
