New Dem leadership? I sometimes thought that. No longer!

One of main arguments I’ve read is that Pelosi/Schumer/ whoever aren’t strong enough or liberal enough.

Guess where that comes from?

Right wing media beating them incessantly. Think the media is liberal? Look at how many and how often republicans own the guest chair on various punditry and opinion shows across OTA and cable networks

And does anyone honestly think a new leader wouldn’t be subjected to the same level of incessant beat downs in the media?

The fact that Pelosi still stands tall and strong is testament to her character and fortitude

Carry on, I say!

IF we get "new leadership" it will come out organically after November.

Right now, let's focus on winning the House and making the Senate competitive, at least.
