If Nancy Pelosi succeeds in this, she will be dooming the Democrats. Young supporters who want change will feel more betrayed than ever. Kamala Harris said over and over that we need a new generation of leadership in America and she is RIGHT. What a short sighted bullshit power grab.

I meant Connelly. She’s supporting him. She is my mom’s age: silent generation. “The generation is generally defined as people born from 1928 to 1945.” (Wikipedia)

That is FUCKING INSANE. AOC is one of the few populist left dems that is willing to work within the system and be shrewd and effective while still maintaining values. Not to mention, she's incredibly good at communication and networking. Pelosi! Stand back and stand by. WTF.

Haven’t Nancy Pelosi fucked up enough already this year when she forced Biden out of the race. This is the establishment Democrat, trying to keep themselves in power and not relinquishing to the younger generation. We need changes in the party!

And here lies the problem in the Democratic Party: The older politicians are disconnected from their younger constituents and their older constituents are passing away, leaving these elderly politicians in a smaller and smaller echo chamber of their own making.

It's because if the party moves left, the deep pocket donors will fund the right. We'd even lose Cuban if we tax unrealized gains. I say let em go. We'll build a better alt media, dump legacy media. Not sure how we'll fund campaigns going toe to toe with deep pockets but we'll figure it out.

The Democrats need younger people to take over the party period This is the entire complaint of the American people! We are sick and tired of the people running things almost 100 years olds! They know they have no business being there and have no idea even what to ask when it comes to oversight!

Imagine being 84 yrs old and still this power hungry. The battle for 2024 is over. We lost with the best centrist face forward we could ever have had and it didn’t work. Time to move on. Pelosi is protecting something that is past its time. People like AOC are the way back.

I’m sick of these old geezers with their manners hang up your fucking skates kids, we need AOC. She will do everything to make sure we are protected. I’m sorry Connelly sit down and let a woman take care of it. Shame on you, Nancy.

Neoliberals clinging to power to stop policy progress on behalf of donors exploiting our problems will continue until it has to be pried from their rigor mortised hands. bsky.app/profile/axio...

Nancy Pelosi has been urging colleagues to back Rep. Gerry Connolly over AOC as the replacement for current Oversight Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin.

As certain as I am that so many of us owe Mrs Pelosi a debt we don’t even understand, the figurative guillotine is currently accepting applications. The system is broken. We have to build a new system. She can either help, get out of the way, or live long enough to see herself become the villain.

Every bit of this is political theater. It's the passing of the guard, so they're trying to create another "hero" to run the party for the next 40 years. Democrats will never learn. They're too conservative. Too loyal to monied interests. Too stuck in 20th century politics to see that it's over.

The time for generational passing of the torch is NOW. AOC has what it takes, and then some. The old guard & seniority got us to lose the WH Senate & House. Step aside. She will absolutely nail it. AOC is exactly what we need.

Fuck off Nancy. We need young blood that is willing to fight whilst you all stick to the norms and procedures and wtf did that get us? A fully MAGA controlled government. Hang it up Nance

It's time for the old guard to step aside for new leaders, and Nancy Pelosi should know this better than anyone. She stepped aside for Hakeem Jeffries; she needs to stop the behind the scenes manipulation. AOC will be great as the ranking member. I have nothing against Connolly, but he's old too.

Dem leaders will refuse to change until they die of old age (literally) We need someone in positions of influence to push the benefits of AMERICANS like AOC & not the dark monied corporate interests of establishment dinosaur dems like connolly/pelosi The later keeps losing & they dont know why…

The Democratic Party elite have failed us in so many ways they need to STFU and make room for new and bold leadership. If people in the know had pressed Biden about his obvious decline he may dropped out over a year ago and given an alternative a real chance.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after sustaining an injury during an official engagement in Luxembourg. “Speaker Emerita Pelosi is currently receiving excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals...”

Pelosi should STFU and let the new crowd win back.America. Kicking Joe out hdlfway through the campaign season was a major fuckup, both her and George can suck donkeys .If they didnt think Joe was up for it ,they should have told him to retire early and set Kamala up with the younger set.

Goddamn do these ghouls have to die to get the fuck out of the way!? I sincerely don't understand it, Pelosi is richer than shit (cough insider trading cough) and had an amazing career (actually true), why keep fucking shit up now? They would rather fight progressives than Republicans, every time

No, I disagree with Nancy on this. I like her, but I prefer a younger person. Donnelly is 74 and AOC is 35. I believe it is time for some of the younger people to get their turn. I think the Democratic party has to look to the future. Pelosi did her job well, so has AOC and she has a base also.

Literally, fuck Nancy Pelosi. I’m sick and tired of these expired establishment democrats holding the young and energized representatives of the party back. We do not look up to you anymore. You are not the future. You are LITERALLY the past. Please resign. Who tf wants to work that old? My god.

While I have great respect for Nancy Pelosi, who was an amazing Speaker and could whip up and count votes like nobody else, we are now in a whole new ball game since Nov. 5. Time for the older folks to step aside and make way for the younger ones who aren't as set in the old ways of doing things.

Pelosi seems to be working against the Democratic Party. The Party needs to grow with the times and she needs to enjoy some peace and quiet. She has earned it but she's becoming irrelevant.

Gerry Connolly was one of the representatives saying Biden pardoning his son was an abuse of power. Pelosi holds no dang sway with anyone after her backstabbing play against Biden & lackluster support for Kamala. That man is too old. It is time for a new generation of leaders. Retire Sir. Nancy 2
