@IndivisibleTeam
Through fights like passing the ACA, @nancypelosi has shown to be a strong and progressive leader, and we shouldn’t let a small group of white, moderate men sabotage her. We support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. Yep, I am a white privileged white guy who couldn't make anything happen in 30 years.

Lets give women and POC a chance to move the agenda forward. God knows, I failed.

[mcar]

2. I'm a white woman

You, personally, didn't fail. But the status quo sure has.

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. I am with you on where we have to go.

But we need to change the status quo.

[fierywoman]

4. She knows the gig, in and out, and she's as tough as nails -- it should go to her.

[mcar]

5. She is the most experienced candidate

[fierywoman]

6. She knows how ALL of it works, but the best part is: she knows how to work it.

[mcar]

7. That's right

[burrowowl]

8. I am glad the Indivisible Team endorsed Pelosi!

[Wounded Bear]

14. Indivisible was a big part of flipping the House this year...

[BigmanPigman]

16. INDIVISIBLE AND MoveOn endorsed her.

That speaks volumes.

[Iggo]

9. "Someone tell me again who is against her?"

Five White Guys and a bunch of lemmings.

[not fooled]

11. And, of course

pukes, who were no doubt hoping for the chance to roll a rookie speaker.


Indivisible's endorsement is excellent news!

[Iggo]

12. And it doesn't matter who republicans want as Dem House Leader.

[hay rick]

13. The Russian bots want to weigh in on this discussion.

On both sides.

[question everything]

18. My congressman elect who flipped an R district

claims that as he was traveling the district "it was clear that our communities are hungry for new leadership from both parties in Washington." But I think that he is pedaling back, depending on who runs against her.

At least I told him what i thought of this. And he knows that I made a small donation and voted for him.

Another D who flipped an R said that if Pelosi is the only candidate then, of course, she will vote for her.

I think that if all of us will express our thoughts, that the Young Turks will quiet down. For now.

34. stonekettle retort

That reply from Stonekettle to the "aren't enthused" comment is dead on. zeruch seems to want a false front for show and Nancy in the background. That's stupid, at best.

[sheshe2]

26. Their voices matter.

The others? They can kiss my ass.

Thanks Cha.

29. You're Welcome, she..

The others like Tim Ryan's reasons weren't making sense.

One of those endorsement for Nancy from Karen Bass is one of the "females" that the #fiveguys were promoting to take Nancy's job.. Oooops.

The Only Credible Challenger to Nancy Pelosi's Speakership Just Endorsed Nancy Pelosi

The inclusion of Linda Sanchez on that list should have been the first clue that the people trying to rattle the most effective Speaker of the House in generations are pathetic power players. Linda Sanchez ended her pursuit of leadership in the Democratic caucus six days ago - after her husband was indicted on federal criminal charges in Connecticut. That Moulton was floating her name yesterday is indication that this group is not just behind the ballgame, they don’t even read the news.

Rep. Marcia Fudge has been out on the speaking circuits trying to accuse Pelosi of not paying attention to issues of race, but it will prove to be difficult as (a) Fudge has not yet declared her candidacy for speaker, and (b) black women in the House largely line up behind Pelosi, including the iconic Barbara Lee and Maxine Waters.

That leaves Karen Bass. In my judgment, Bass would have been the only credible challenger to Pelosi had she chosen to run. Not because of her gender or her race but because she was the only potential challenger who has had a job like this before. Karen Bass served as the 67th Speaker of the California State Assembly from 2008 to 2010, leading the legislature of the largest and most diverse state in the union.

Sorry, this took so long.. things were freezing up!

35. shades of 2016

Just saw this:

Democrats owe Pelosi the chance to be Speaker. Their plot to deny her of it is foolish.

Although they would deny it, the effort by a number of House Democrats to block Rep. Nancy Pelosi from resuming the speakership that she was forced to relinquish after the 2010 election, bears a resemblance to the acceptance, by some Americans, of the anti-Hillary Clinton narrative peddled on social media by Russian trolls in 2016. In the case of Pelosi, the hostile power that launched the demonization of the Democratic leader was the Republican Party.

GOP campaign organizations dug a rabbit hole that some Democrats eagerly dived into. These Democratic back-benchers in the House who have been mounting a challenge to Pelosi have bought into this grotesque GOP narrative on her and it has soured the growing Democratic majority that has been unfolding since November 6.

Democrats forcing Pelosi from the speakership would be akin to Abraham Lincoln firing General William T. Sherman after he captured the city of Atlanta from the Confederates based on false rebel narratives of atrocities even though the fall of the city enabled Lincoln to win the election of 1864.

42. Exactly, Hermit! What we've been saying..

and this article does it so brilliantly!

Ergo

Cashiering the author of a major political victory is an act of legislative malpractice and those promoting it like Reps. Seth Moulton and Tim Ryan ought to be disbarred. Sadly, a number of newly-elected Democratic members also promised to toss Pelosi over the side and now have to confront the fact that there is no plausible candidate to replace her. They are in the untenable position of trying to beat somebody with nobody, and worse, making it their first order of business.

The U.S. House of Representatives is a sprawling institution that has always required strong leadership and this reality may not yet have dawned on the newcomers. The speaker, although constitutionally the leader of the entire institution is also the leader of the party whose hand is prominent in everything from fund-raising to the assignment of members to committees and the shaping of legislation. If the new Democratic majority is not to stumble, it is imperative that its leaders know what they are doing. It is no place for on-the-job training.

Amen! Thank You, Hermit!

36. Wasn't Karen Bass supported by the "rebels"?

It would seem losing her vote to Pelosi puts a big damper on their "plan". The fivewhiteguys better start checking to make sure their family jewels are still all there.

39. Exactly, DeminPennswoods..

38. Interesting how some of the "females"

the #fivewhiteguys and their few supporters are touting as possible speakers (Waters, Bass) have endorsed Pelosi.
