small group of congressional cucks would rather rearrange the deck chairs and hope the republicans will be nice to the new guy than figure out how to counterpunch against the inevitable screams mindless rage directed against them

there's tons of reasons to swap out Pelosi that you can make an argument for but fuckin GA-6 is the most candy-rear end one of them all

my concern with replacing Pelosi is that given the current makeup of the house caucus we'll end up with some boring nebbish with adequate hair and much less ability to whip

FuriousxGeorge posted:They can't, and probably shouldn't just now. They can't snatch the DNC chair either but it's a lot more embarrassing for the story to be about him. Pelosi is chronically overcautious and, while not actively irredeemable, just behind the times in a lot of ways on account of being old. shes no Feinstein, and i tend to credit her with having the awareness necessary to be pushed on issues, but shes just got a lot of baggage and is slow on the uptake in conclusion Nancy Pelosi can be compared and contrasted

like bear in mind the convention has to write its own rules for things like delegations and good luck getting 2/3rds of the states to agree on anything right now

Let's stop under estimating the people who keep beating us got any sevens posted:sure, and people said trump would never win too... theres very few bullshit technicalities for them to game in a convention. even if they clear the 2/3rds hurdle to call a convention, assuming they somehow get 2/3rds of the states to agree on how such a horroshow would be run, the amendments would require 3/4ths of the states to approve. theres a reason we dont do it very often

Pener Kropoopkin posted:That's the point, my dude. The right has made abortion so rare that it's practically impossible to get access in over half the states. if you want a 50 state campaign you have to deal with pro-lifers the 10 million dollar question is whether or not they can be whipped so i guess what we want is bitchmade pro-lifers in whatever districts require them
