Showing Original Post only (View all)Why are DEMOCRATS fighting Pelosi but McConnell goes untouched????? [View all]
The RW turned Pelosi into a villain and too fucking many DEMOCRATS bought into that. Why aren't DEMOCRATS demonizing Mitch McConnell in the same way the right demonized Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. Neither woman deserves the treatment they get from the right AND the left, but McConnell, who actually is a villain is not attacked the same way.
What The FUCK, people? Aim your vitriol at THEM, not back at us.

Imagine Maxine Waters as Speaker! She is willing and able to do Trump a lot of harm.

Democrats are generally open-minded and think for themselves, i.e., they use their brains.

Because Republicans don't let Democrats demonetize their leaders...we shouldn't either.

There's plenty of air to deal with who we want as speaker. Its about the direction of the party.
