The biggest problem the Democratic Party is facing right now is the aging of its leadership, and there doesn't seem to be anybody waiting in the wings to replace them. Following that they're loving terrible at messaging, and need better demagogues to promote their agenda. Also Millennial Consultants to tell them "good god no that's not how you use memes."
Sorry, but they all busy chilling in Cedar Rapids

To hopefully end this derail, let's have some cartoons from Germany:

Schulz: "What does Corybin have that I don't?"
Merkel: "An opponent like Theresa May

3
This one's titled "Queen Angie's Speech"
Merkel: "My plan is to stay as noncommital as possible until the election and still muddle through to a victory somehow, as usual"

4
Figure: Well...
Caption: Enjoy

5
This one's titled "Just some last kinks to work out between the young couple"
Merkel: "We are on team, one unit, we are Mercron"
Macron: "Or rather Macrerkel"

6
Trump: "Now you're ISOLATED, losers!"

The general election involves the people eligible to vote in the democratic primary, plus the rest of the voting public. The set of people who are eligible to vote in the general but not eligible to vote in the democratic primary is waaaaay to the right of eligible democratic primary voters, and commonly referred to as "republicans".

That last panel is literally the opposite of reality. GOP is pushing hard as gently caress to get Pelosi out and absolutely do NOT want her to stay -- their cartoonist yes-men picking up the talking point so obediently is proof enough of that.
The GOP is trying to get her out and pretending they're concerned for Democrats, not trying to convince them to keep her because she's a weak opponent.

But that doesn't change the fact that the GOP is the last group that would champion her stay, which is what's being depicted. I recognize they have mobilized opposition but that's not the same as them wanting her to stay. Despite any possible campaigns to run contrary, they very vocally want the opposite.

Ah thanks, that answers it. None of the trans people I know look like that, but neither do any of the dudes I know either so I thought it was some signalling thing or something, I dunno :shrug:

I had no idea that the job of the leader of the House cat herders, in charge of making sure Democrats vote as a bloc, was responsible for running the party. I could have sworn we had a gently caress-mothering campaign and vote about 4 months ago and elected Tom Perez to the position, but I guess he's actually just a decoy from the real leader.

Quick question, if the Democrats retake the house, who becomes speaker? Cause it sure as hell isn't going to be Tom Perez.

That's why likability matters for that position. If you want her herding cats, make her whip. Keeping them as a block is literally 100% of the job description of the whip. Pelosi is massively unpopular with the general public in a job where popularity is one of the most important qualities. If you want people to vote Dem, it's a hell of a lot easier if they don't have to hold their nose because they don't like who would be speaker if they do.

Good thing they have a new vote for speaker every election then so it wouldn't automatically go to who was the minority speaker.

Which is reflected by the fact that she's one of the most recognizable democratic office holders and that we will be voting to maker her the speaker of the goddamn House. She's 77 and has been in charge of the house for basically a generation. It's beyond time the torch was passed to a new generation. That's how leadership works, as time progresses eventually your time comes to an end. Not because Republicans say so, but because it's an appropriate time to do so.

gently caress off, Americant. The only fuckers convinced by "He's standing next to PELOSI" are hard R voters. Stealing R votes is not and has never been a good plan. Motivating Democrats will win elections. Idiots like you tirelessly and blindly repeating Republican propaganda cannot help. They are not arguing in good faith; don't do the work for them and certainly don't try to justify the positions that they don't really hold.
