I think these stories are coming out right now because the centrists don't want Tom Perez to take any blame for this.

Pelosi is the establisment personified and legislators are waaay more important than the chair. if the center wants to shoot themselves in the foot then fine by me, let's hope a progressive can snatch the seat

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

The whip should focus on whipping, the chair should focus on not pissing off the Democratic base every 2 weeks

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.

What has Pelosi done that gets everybody upset again? To me she comes off as what Clinton claimed to be, someone who would love to be more progressive but is pragmatic about it.

Declaring abortion to be a negotiable position and declaring that single payer will never be a dem platform is the big thing. also the """"pragmatic""""" excuse don't work when your party loses 1000 seats over the course of 10 years. She's a tepid centrists whos beholden to the same corporate powers that are telling the DCCC not to invest in left candidates and ive seen no evidence that what she does can't be done by anyone else

the first one isnt wrong

Pelosi is just fine as a House leader, and most of the House reps pushing for her replacement are conservative Dems whose only stated rationale for replacing her is that she's too demonized by the right and might be scaring off moderate Republican votes

i don't think it's sexism, but "we should replace this person because Republicans dislike them" is about the ordinary level of idiocy I'd expect from Bad Dems, and there's more House Dems to her right than to her left so her replacement would likely be to the right of her


at the height of the Gilded Age, radical leftists were engaging in assassination attempts against CEOs and terrorist bombings on Wall Street, while unions were getting into literal gun battles with strikebreakers and Pinkertons while federal troops were regularly being called to intervene by force in labor disputes

ultimately, capital only makes concessions to the left when they fear that the social pressure that's building might explode into outright revolution, and that's been the case regardless of which party is in power

a lot of that is indictment of the party's true platform and its infrastructure and lol if you think bad dems won't offer up one of their peers to continue the russia-style incompetent opposition party schtick they're being paid for

Agreed, but since pelosi is a part of that infrastructure and saw the dems get rekt and decided that this is fine gently caress her.

so it'll change absolutely nothing because the amount of effort they had to put in isn't even a tenth of a percent of the russian mob allowance they're getting

there are more rewarding squabbles than this, like DCCC only backing people if they parrot milquetoast or right-wing policy

What does David Yankovich actually do? The bio on his campaign website says something like "joined his mother in property management" but I can't find a lick of info on who he is and what he does for a living.

he's a carpet bagger who's trying to become a politician. He is incapable of providing a challenge to Paul Ryan so he will win th primary handily

I know the dems love themselves some blank slates, but I'm serious when I say there's absolutely nothing online about his past and present beyond the scant hagiography he presents.

I went down this wormhole after trying to find his campaign contributions but I can't recall seeing anywhere where he lived before moving to WI.

I vaguely recall that he used to work for th CIA, so I think he's literally grown in a vat a brainwashed into building support for hillary

every dem primary is going to have one guy whose past is vague except for them working for the CIA, all will have no discernable platform, they will have one of 3 faces, all of them will call hilldawg their hero.
