25. Our experience here at DU is a steady trickle of alleged Dems insisting we need all new faces...

...in the House, and that Nancy is old, tired, close to death (if you look at actuarial tables), out of new ideas, out of touch, needs to be primaried by a real progressive, not inspirational to young progressives, a millstone around our necks, and a lightning rod for GOP hatred. The latest one said we needed "a housecleaning from top to bottom" -- which at least had the virtue of targeting every Dem with experience and not just the women.

Friends, did I leave anything out?

Progressoid, these things have been posted often enough at DU that I have memorized them without even trying. "Who on the left?" you ask. Look around you.
