Pelosi Says She Plans to Stay in Leadership

15. Exactly

Just as Hillary was a flawed candidate not through her own behaviour, but because of years, decades, of relentless fake news and smears where many normally decent folks were convinced that even Donald f'n Trump was better than Crooked Hillary.

So Nancy Pelosi has become a millstone for the party in any new election. No its not fair, and she is more than qualified, but we must admit that the right wing media machine is so much more powerful, and have been for years. And they have successfully painted her as some kind of evil witch that is helping run some kind of deep state Democratic society who's goal is to turn the USA into a socialist, sharia law run country.

We need a new face, a new voice. This was one reason that Obama won in the first place. He was relatively new, and they didn't have the years and years of establishing a false narrative around him. They did try of course, and some of it stuck, but it wasn't a long enough, a relentless ongoing decades long rewriting of history that they had done with Hillary and also now with Pelosi.
