Is Pelosi good or bad for the parties future ?
I was SO happy to see so many new faces this election, especially women. It was refreshing to hear their stories of what prompted them to run. Some of their stories reminded me of Mr. Smith Goes To Washington... One of my favorite movies.
I'd like to see fresh faces in every position with the old guard there to advise only!
Screw the party, I say. Ban parties entirely.
If we banned parties, we'd have to start calling them gangs...
Even as an old guy I see a major problem regarding our politics is it is run by geezers. Old people with old ideas that barely worked in the 1960s and are certainly out-of-date in this rapidly changing world. We are inching toward a better outlook on race, sexuality, world relations and the natural world, but we have these dinosaurs in the way, blocking the path as best they can. The McConnells, Pelosis, Hatches, etc need to let people under 70 get a chance at running the show. Will the new crop do any better, who knows? But the current crowd is useless.
short-term, meaning years, not months, very, very good. she knows how old she is, and she has been mentoring young women for ages and ages. she is preparing successors, plural. meanwhile she is our best hope for action and that is why the gop hate her and want her gone, which is reason enough to want her in her leadership role! unfortunately a lot of people are buying into the gop propaganda, much of which is filtering through the left. she IS progressive. check out her record at congress.gov.
