Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC’s former chief of staff, thinks the Democrats need a bolder vision.
SF is incredibly liberal, I could absolutely see Nancy losing and finally being forced to retire. Just gotta get people out to vote during the Primary.
Pelosi was elected when she was 41-42. Saikat Chakrabarti is 39, so only a couple years younger than when Pelosi was put into Congress. This is the perfect time for her to be forced to retire.
That’s the problem: Liberal = Neoliberal ≠ Left
The rich people who control just about everything LOVE her because her corruption enriches them as it enriches her and her stock broker husband.
The population in general, though? Probably much more progressive than Pelosi and will hopefully be heard this time.
A leftist needs to pull a reverse fetterman to get elected.
We should have all known Fetterman was a turncoat when the Democratic Party didn’t pull out all the stops to keep him from office.
