I think that poster says it all, and it is what will power the Democrats this November.
The Republican Party keeps fucking with the individual rights of folks, especially women to satisfy the religious right flank (that runs the whole party) and they keep losing elections.
The campus vote this fall will match that of Obama in 2008.
Here’s a quote from Speaker Pelosi’s new book. “I’ve had a lot of conversations with this man and at the end of nearly all of them, I think, Either you are stupid, or you think that the rest of us are.”
Obviously she’s referencing Donald Trump. She saved America then and her actions will help save it again from this orange asshole.
A couple of things and then I have to go. I have known Pelosi since as a freshman Congresswoman she came into my boss’s office to lobby him on a reproductive rights issue. They were both good Catholics who did not necessarily align on political issues. But he liked and even admired her, and said flat out, she will be Speaker one day.
Though the years I have seen her at her Napa fundraisers and in DC and she never fails to remember me and our short conversations in my office in Capitol. She’s the ultimate politician and did a tough but necessary thing in convincing our President to step aside. Nancy clearly has a lot of respect for Joe and will be at the convention to honor him and the fact that, whether the resident Republicans wants to admit it or not, saved America when he threw that orange lard ass out of office almost four years ago.
She’s also a party person who believes, like I do, that the Democratic Party is our best defense of democracy in era where the Republican Party is in love with autocrats who would cancel our Constitution.
I have also known Kamala Harris since she was an attorney for the City of San Francisco and she hung out with two of my best friends who also worked there. She’s smart, hard working, and ambitious. We all knew she was going places, just never guessed it would be this far. When elected I can tell folks I have had dinner and drinks with the President of the United States
Kamala didn’t exactly fit into the power structure where most political leaders came from in San Francisco, but neither did my other friends. So no, she’s never been team Pelosi, but that didn’t stop either of them in accomplishing their goals, and Kamala is now the future while Nancy is planning for her retirement and her daughter taking her seat (unless the unthinkable happens and Trump goes back to the White House).
But, that didn’t stop Harris from becoming DA, State Attorney General and a U.S. Senator. John and I hosted a fundraiser for her in California and helped to organize one last night here in Chicago that raised over 700K (special guest Mayor Pete) although others did the hard work.
I am looking forward to the first night of the convention when we can all honor Joe Biden for what he has done for our country — especially his selfless act of stepping aside to help beat Trump once again.
Pelosi HAS hagh a LONG and Strong run for California and the Democrats in the House…
I like that IS on the long list of Women that have given Donald Trump heartburn….
He recent comments on B iden stepping down via her I could do without….
On the subject of The President….
I had his back until it became apparent that his running was NOT gonna work….
He gets props for putting up a fight…But in the end?….”doing the Right Thing’….
