Nancy Pelosi: Democratic Voters let her know what they think

[Skwmom]

https://www.facebook.com/NancyPelosi/

Voters are finally awakening.

[daleanime]

1. My goodness, how rude of them.....

to share their feelings like that, don't they know that she's important and they are not?


Just in case.

[jfern]

24. How dare the little people not suck it up and keep silent

They must be sexist for saying that they disagree with their Congresswoman.

[JRLeft]

2. She had her ass handed to her.

[cherokeeprogressive]

3. Yeah, by those mean BernieBros.

[sarge43]

31. Stick your hand in a bee hive and you get stung

Good

[Metric System]

4. The Swarm has descended, and for some reason under a post about the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

[cali]

6. It's not a swarm as you so condescendingly dub them. They are engaged citizens.

That's a good thing, remember?

[Cali_Democrat]

18. Engaged citizens indeed.....

[Metric System]

19. BernieBros and the women who love them.

[Bobbie Jo]

45. Swarm.

Just as you said the first time.

[Hortensis]

7. Unfortunate. On the plus side, the primary

is going to show her and the Democratic Party whether posters like these represent a group large enough to empower real change, of if they're just...noisy boors.

[Fawke Em]

9. Yeah, coz only "noisy boors" make waves.

#NoWeCant is trending.

You figure it out.

[Hortensis]

22. No. Many are noisy, rude boors when sending

safely anonymous political messages no matter what happens. If they turn out to be effective, those results become far larger than the irritation. If they .don't make any difference, though, it's all just nothing but...noise.

Meanwhile, in offices, planning meetings, on phone banks, knocking on doors, organizing precincts, hosting meetings, and many other tasks are many, many people also working for change, but with the manners that almost always accompany competence.

[zeemike]

35. So good manners is keeping your mouth shut.

When the leader fucks you over in favor of the moneyed elite?
Well perhaps you are right, but there comes a time when manners are less important than actions to bring about change...it's called a revolution and manners are secondary to it.

[Armstead]

46. You may notice that on Facebook names are used...and usually pictures

[Hortensis]

58. You're right. I also noticed that many people

are not being obnoxious boors, but are just posing strong opinions and asking demanding questions. We're not talking about them. As for those others behaving very badly under their own names, stupid, very stupid.

[Autumn]

48. Those noisy,rude boors are giving their opinions to Nancy 'Impeachments Off The Table' Pelosi

using their FB account with their names and photos, hardly anonymous political messages.

[frylock]

51. Safely anonymous? Do you even Facebook, bro?

[cali]

11. Do you have any clue how you sound?

[Duval]

39. Seriously doubt it

[nichomachus]

8. So you're saying that anyone who criticized Pelosi is an insect?

typical.

[Fawke Em]

12. But here's what they don't understand using that term:

There are MILLIONS of entities in a "swarm." By using that term, they're conceding that there are thousands upon thousands of Bernie supporters.

Let them keep using it.

[Mike__M]

17. Beekeeper for Bernie

I'm with the swarm.

This work has revealed a set of behavioral mechanisms in a swarm that consistently yields excellent collective decisions.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Bernie supporters are a "swarm?" That's pretty rude and dismissive

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jan 30, 2016, 12:34 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's light compared to the insults being exchanged here, and our " Swarm " should be more tolerant of their frustration .
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: FFS don't waste my time with this nonsense
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You have GOT to be kidding. You can find that term all over the board in reference to Hillary supporters.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pretty mild considering the current level of discourse on DU.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Wine? I'll have some chardonnay and a nice slice of gouda. Thank you.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Seems some of the jurors are missing that manners thing Hortensis was talking about. Don't forget to clean yourself kitties.

[BuelahWitch]

5. Waiting for her to say Healthcare for All is Off the Table

That seems to be one of her favorite phrases...

[libdem4life]

14. That's kind of what she's inferring. Nope. No Can Do. ad nauseum.

[Ned Flanders]

38. LOL. She lost my vote the last time she said that. (n/t)

[nichomachus]

10. We should have bounced her butt out of there when she took impeachment "off the table" nt

[jillan]

15. YES!

[KeepItReal]

21. Word.

[Broward]

13. We could be at a turning point.

To me at least, it's becoming increasingly evident that many Dems will not fall in line and vote for Hillary in the general if she gets the nomination. Dissatisfaction with the status quo and establishment politicians is only growing.

[RiverLover]

16. Thanks so much for posting! So many good messages. One of my favs~

Dhaval Jain

The recent Hillary debacle answered so many questions in one instance. It proved beyond a reasonable doubt as to why there was no single payer option during the OBAMAcare dialogue.

Why Bush never left, why we still have Reaganism dictating our future.

Why we are still incarcerating blacks for corporate slavery.

As a progressive I can now say with confidence that Democrat is just repug lite. Thanks you Nancy for saving me thousands in donations. I will stop donating to all democrats except Bernie. I am leaving the Democrat party until shills like Nancy, DWS and queen hillary are gone!

Another good one~

Rachel Bell

Equal "Pay" for equal work? Whatever. You no longer have any credibility with me. I am an RN in Michigan with no access to healthcare insurance from my hospital employer due to my contingent status despite the hours I work, who cannot afford both a premium as well as a $12K deductible via the Marketplace. And unlucky for you, the largest Nurses United in the country is in California. The Democratic party does not support raising taxes? Are you kidding me? Congress bailed out the automakers who are reporting billions of dollars in profits while Flint MI doesn't have safe drinking water & I effectively continue to have no access to healthcare. You are part of the problem...and no longer will be included in my vision of the solution.

Oh yes, I am in law school and planning to practice in California. You just gave me another reason to move to your State.
25 · Yesterday at 9:42am · Edited

We have such great people in our party!! Just wish our party leadership actually represented us. They don't anymore.

GO Bernie!!

[ypsfonos]

23. They WILL or be voted out of office!

[pinebox]

25. Here is Pelosi's PROGRESSIVE challenger

Meet Prestom Picus a Bernie Progressive https://twitter.com/Picus4Congress

In fact I think I'll tweet him and see if he can make a swing by DU! He's quite a guy.
You can find out more about him on his website http://www.picus2016.com

[abelenkpe]

26. Nice. Thanks! Nt

[pinebox]

27. You're welcome!

[SoapBox]

28. Cool!

It's time for Entrenched Establish Nancy to be out of office...same with War Hawk DiFi, when her turn comes.

[pinebox]

29. Yup

It's time!

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Pushing an Independent candidate against a Democratic Candidate is 100% against the DU TOS:
Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jan 31, 2016, 01:52 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

[JTFrog]

43. Fortunately, all alerts go to the admins as well. n/t

[Purveyor]

44. IIRC only 0-7 jury hides make it to Admin review... eom

[JTFrog]

47. Actually I have read several times that all alerts go to Admin now. n/t

[Purveyor]

49. Perhaps as it's been a long time since I served on MIRT

and perhaps it has changed.

[pinebox]

63. Ya they tried earlier too

It didn't work.

[JTFrog]

42. It is against DU TOS to push an Independent candidate versus a Democratic candidate.

Such as Picus vs. Pelosi.

Winning elections is important — therefore, advocating in favor of Republican nominees or in favor of third-party spoiler candidates that could split the vote and throw an election to our conservative opponents is never permitted on Democratic Underground.

You sure seem hellbent on pissing all over Democrats on this website.

[in_cog_ni_to]

61. EXCELLENT! I hope he sends her packing!

Go Preston!

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[Bleacher Creature]

32. Looks like the keyboard commandos have a new target.

Nancy Pelosi should be proud to be in such good company as Al Franken, John Lewis, Sherrod Brown, etc.

[libdem4life]

33. Another Coat tail for Bernie ... new group of political candidates for the Revolution.

That's what Bernie's talking about and he's given folks like this a great example.

[jwirr]

34. One of the things that irritates me most is when a holder of

a congressional leadership uses an code to keep those not in their state or district from emailing them. And that includes those who hold seats in various committees.

We should have easy access to all of them.

[tokenlib]

36. Absolutely! N/t

[Duval]

37. K&R! I also let the DNC know a thing or two when they

last called. They need to get their butts in gear and listen to us.

[ecstatic]

50. More bullying and threats. This is becoming outrageous!

Yes, voters are awakening to how out of control the BernieBros are getting. Here's a sampling of the comments left on Pelosi's facebook page:

Pelosi, you're a pathetic corporate shill, just like the rest of the Democratic Party

Enjoy what time you have left on your free ride in government because since you have decided to smear Bernie Sanders in an effort to force Hillary Clinton down our throats we WILL vote you out of office!

I have always supported you Pelosi! Not anymore! How dare you, a rich snob, speak for democrats and say we won't raise taxes for healthcare for all! We the people want it!!! Now we want you gone! Unless you publicly say you changed your mind!

You'd better reverse course on promoting a person who will soon be indicted for violating gov secrecy laws and start promoting the real progressive candidate, Bernie Sanders

if Hillary is the Democratic nod, I will not be voting for a Democrat as president.

Newsflash, the democratic party will not be getting the support of Bernie's voters, so the pat on the head was futile. Will be supporting your progressive challenger Nancy.

[Jackilope]

52. When the Democratic Party is for the 1%, THEY are the ones out of control.

Take hope for universal healthcare off the table -- that is cause for serious backlash.

I am tired of the enabling of a corporatist Democratic Party. People are angry and settling for crumbs just isn't gonna cut it.

[Bobbie Jo]

53. WTF??

Geeze, people.

[in_cog_ni_to]

62. What is wrong

with you?! You do know the corrupt PTB don't give a shit about you and your needs, right? Your loyalties are sorely misplaced against your fellow citizens. Shameful.

Those people are voicing their OPINIONS. Your AUTHORITARIAN attitude is sickening, but we know where you get it from! Your AUTHORITARIAN warmongering candidate.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[ecstatic]

67. Actually, Bernie and Trump supporters are the ones drawn to

Authoritarianism. There have been several articles about it already.

[pinebox]

64. People ARE pissed off!

Literally. People are fed up and fired up! They are laying in waste and sick of the system and you know what, it's on both sides. People are sick and tired of how corporations are paid lip service while they are forgotten about. They're sick & tired of Democrats acting like Republicans and one such example is this http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/1/29/1273428/-These-89-Democrats-Voted-to-Cut-8-7-Billion-from-Food-Stamps whose list happens to include who?

Weren't Democrats supposed to be focusing on inequality now? Somehow the party leadership didn't get the message.

[Jarqui]

54. Maybe I have blinders on but everywhere I go I'm seeing stuff like that

WaPo or NYT editorials

In the streets

Below articles

At the campaign gatherings

In the online polls

There is some real passion out there.

I don't think it's nearly as strong as Obama's but Hillary 2016 does not feel nearly as strong or passionate as Hillary 2008

In less than 48 hours, I guess we'll find out.

[Lucinda]

55. The total lack of respect for a difference of political opinion isn't an awakening

It's bullying.

[RiverLover]

59. Refusing to continue acquiescing & capitulating to their capitulation to republicans

isn't bullying.

Its attempting to bring NEEDED change.

The kind of change we were promised 8 years ago & never got.

[pinebox]

65. No it's fighting back

Tell that to the people who bust their asses working 40 hours a week at Walmart while STILL relying on Gov't assistance because they aren't paid a living wage. They are fed up and fired up! I can cite you a ton of examples.

[Karma13612]

56. My gosh, social media really does work!

Thanks for this link! Good to see people speaking up quickly and decisively.

[Bernblu]

57. Pelosi is useless when it comes to progressive change

Nothing will happen under her watch.

[in_cog_ni_to]

60. Deservedly, she's getting her arse handed to her from voters!
