Pelosi is a ghoul, but damn if sbe wasn’t great at being a ghoul. Did nothing but enrich herself and actively make the world worse, and had the voteball enjoyers clapping for her while she ddd it
give it time. She already serves the same purpose that Pelosi used to. So many centrists and “progressives” point to her as an example that actually progressive politics are possible within the Democratic Party and use her as a cudgel against left wing criticisms of the party. She already funnels money from progressive donors towards centrist democrats. Sure, she may never be the Speaker of the house but I could definitely see her selling out more to get into some leadership position.
right here. She was the 2nd biggest fundraiser after Pelosi herself. Whether she enters leadership or not, she has the real power which is money.
The fact that she has that money, that we know she hands over to centrists, makes it clear that all her whinging about needing to play ball with leadership because of commitee appointments or whatever is completely empty.
She was on the ghoul track her whole life. Her 6 month tour as a bartender was a stolen valor photo op, no different than ratboys.
Pelosi was also in the “progressive caucus” and called for universal healthcare at some point. AOC is Pelosi, I’ve been saying this for years.
lol she wish she was
