I did not have ‘Pelosi takes on the gerontocracy’ on my 2024 bingo card

“The speaker does not want to call on him to resign, but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens,” this person said, referring to Biden quitting the race.

      Remember that billionaire wedding during COVID, with Nancy Pelosi front and center and happy as could be? There really should have been a Democratic rebellion at that. She was just doing everything she possibly could to undercut Democratic messaging for her stupid fucking social life. And then she went home and traded some stocks.

      Age is more than just a number. She’s older than him but she can still do the political math better.

      (note, this is far from an endorsement of her. I’ve been trying to vote her out since I moved to SF 13 years ago)
