Charlie Pierce asks if Kathleen Rice (form R, now D) promoting Pelosi dump to "defang" new majority?

I think we need to wise up--not only about the very right-leaning 5-men leading the charge, but with some of the women they are recruiting to make the effort more "palatable"

1. Does She Understand What Majority Means?

We have a majority but not enough of one? With the way Congress works?
Pretty lame, Ms. Rice!

2. I'm sure there a lot of Progressives waiting to run in the 2020 primary against her.

3. This Rice woman sounds to me like a

“wolves in sheep’s clothing.” For the most part I don’t trust R’s turned D.

4. If you Republicans are unhappy with your party, fix it. Stay out of mine.

6. Like Brenda Snipe as SOE of Broward County.

She was a Republican, installed by Jeb Bush, and she personally fucked up the midterms in her county as much as humanly possible. She had the recount "essentially" done by 1pm, but didn't transmit the results until 3 min. late so all the hard work by the Dems in Broward recounting, reviewing provisional and mail in ballots and getting them cured got thrown out. She didn't request nearly enough machines, causing long lines, she put polling places in gated communities and reduced the number of polling places. I think she's a Trojan Horse and some good Dem needs to challenge her.

8. I agree.

Not to mention that our party looks quite incompetent when they accept her as one of their own.

7. Infiltration.

It never ends. This is the reason why everything defies labels. Too many people move into organizations and take it away from its original premise.

10. Pelosi is no progressive, but the ones bashing her are even worse.

They are all, almost to a person, centrists or even right wing Dems, bound and determined to stop any progress towards real equality in its tracks.

This is why the Democrats end up being ineffective, by buying into right wing framing of people like Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez.
