I thought Pelosi was all about old farts getting out of the way and leaving room for the next generations.

She IS an old fart refusing to get out of the way even though she has (in name only) relinquished control tp one of the 5 or fewer Democrats in Congress who exhibit even more disdain for the Left than she does herself.
She's older than Bernie ffs!
Bernie who, probably partly because he was an elite athlete in his youth and still goes for a run every day, is roughly a decade or two sharper than most people around his age, including Pelosi.
I think Pelosi is still sharp, she's just out of touch. Could happen to people of any age, but decades in politics is not doing any favours.
Bernie is very much not out of touch.

Good point. I accidentally conflated the two related but very much distinct concepts 😁
itt; a bunch of people that don't know it takes 2/3rds of a majority to pass anything and that a whole bunch of extremely partisan issues will just sail through congress even though the affordable care act barely made it through.
Well they didn’t choose a progressive so…
Now if only they fucking showed up to vote.
Could we vote about bunking her (Wheeling dealing Pelosi) with Trump in Gitmo?
We don't want the center. Her main selling point is that she is not 80+years old. The bar is that low. Nobody gives a shit about policy at this point, it's gotten that bad. Anything but a geriatric convict.
