Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Pelosi is Democrat leadership. She is responsible for the supreme court running rampant, kamala, and the war on drugs still being a thing. She deserves to be hung as a traitor to the republic. Furious. We are furious at her. I'm angry at my dog for pissing on the couch. I'm furious at Pelosi.
You do know Pelosi stepped down from her leadership position almost exactly 2 years ago, right?
And she’s no longer making decisions for the party, right? …right?!
Certainly not making public statements or anything.
…so what did we just read in the article?
Oh buddy. It's sarcasm. It's in the headline.
You mean her formal position as speaker of the house?
What an amazingly condescending tone to turn on your mod flag for. And to be so wrong!
Speaker of the House is different from Minority Leader.
She was removed as Speaker when the House fell to Republican control.
She voluntarily stepped down as minority leader almost exactly 2 years ago, replaced by Hakeem Jeffries.
She's no longer a leader of the party other than in terms of seniority. Hasn't been for 2 years.
Calm down with the paragraph breaks
We're talking about leadership within the democratic party
Not leadership positions in congress
She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.
The only thing separating her from any other person in Congress is seniority. She's #5 in congress behind 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats:
Hal Rogers - R - Kentucky - Dean of the House
Chris Smith - R - New Jersey
Steny Hoyer - D - Maryland
Marcy Kaptur - D - Ohio
I can't speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today. Steny Hoyer, definitely.
She has donors and money and client patron relationships with people in power, including the current democratic party leadership in your formulation
Yes that's correct
If you start hanging people trying to run the government no good people will want to be in the government.
it is a feedback loop for national bloodshed.
