Showing Original Post only (View all)So, let me get this straight, DU [View all]
Just this morning, we have threads calling for Nancy Pelosi to be replaced, even though she just led an historic Democratic takeover of the House and for our 2020 nominee not to be a woman or person of color supposedly because of the Electoral College (even though a woman and a black man won the popular vote in the last three elections and the black man won both the popular vote AND Electoral College TWICE).
Am I in the right place?

Quite the contrary, we should put them in charge despite, or perhaps even BECAUSE white people.

So, we hide our women and black folk because we think they'll trigger violence in white people?

Why do you assume a woman or minority is not "the best person who can win"?

FDR's speech you are referring to wasn't directed at just Republicans, it was far more broad

Technical point, they'd have to both be impeached simultaneously; otherwise whoever wasn't impeached

What pisses me off is all the people who want her out because the R's have demonized her

I think you speak for many Dems. Unless someone emerges like Obama, stay the course.
