The level of vitriol against pelosi is in no small part because of republican efforts to demonise her. Yes, she’s a corrupt plutocrat. But why do people hate her specifically, versus every other corrupt plutocrat that makes up the leadership of the democratic party?
She forced out biden and was one of the few dems who actually wanted to fight this election. But she was also a driving force behind the kamala campaigns failed right turn which destroyed her own good work.
She’s a more complicated corrupt plutocrat than people give her credit for, is I guess my point.
She also refuses any push towards progressive policies like M4A, minimum wage increases, and is currently trying to block AOC from gaining political ground.
She’s not unique in what she does, she’s just a powerful legacy member of Congress. She’s been around for decades doing this kind of thing, and that’s what gets the attention.
If we was running as a Republican when she first started, no one would have batted an eye.

Actually no, it isn’t. It’s because she’s a fucking virulently anti-progressive neo-con. She has done some good in combatting Republican BS and I respect her abilities as a slimy politician in the same way I’d respect an skilled pick pocket, but this has nothing to do with Republicans.
