Relevant portion of interview here.
“I think it’s a legitimate question to say, is this an episode or is this a condition? When people ask that question, it’s completely legitimate — of both candidates.”
Of course she’s quick to “both-sides” the night, but that’s politics for you. If she’s saying this during an interview, I can only speculate on what’s going on behind closed doors. The wagons are not closing around the Biden campaign.
Is Pelosi forgetting how old she is? She is older than Biden and Trump, it’s time for her to retire instead of trying to criticize others
Instead of? Nah. But I’ve never seen her look as hopelessly lost as I saw him the other night. It wouldn’t been pitiable ift’wer anyone else
Of course he looked lost, he had to make sense of what Trump was saying and be ready to respond to it.
But it shouldn’t be so difficult to understand that it’s all nonsense.
Biden should know that Trump is lying in less than half a second. And Biden should know how to respond to the fascist clown.
Act like the situation is serious.
Act like we are in a Constitutional crisis.
You know what? I despise Pelosi but seeing her swap in would give Republicans a stroke so…
Pelosi is 84, 3 years older than Biden. She’s also richer and even more out of touch
So you admit there isn’t actually a significant difference between the two. Just two standard issue neoliberal boomer trashcans we’re forced to support and lose to fascism anyways.
… why are you talking like we’re in a debate?
Seriously, it’s not a “gotcha” to point out Pelosi is awful. I’m not being forced to support Pelosi at all, we’re talking about a hypothetical that you suggested, not the current reality.
Are you alright? If you just want to rant about neoliberal bullshit I can listen. I’m a socialist, I get it.
It definitely seems like the Dems are beginning to manufacture consent for replacing Biden on the ticket. I’m skeptical as to whether that’d be the right play here, but every option needs to be on the table to give them the best chance at preventing a second Trump term.
Not running the incumbent is why we got the first Trump term. Swapping out your incumbent is like hitting on a 19 in blackjack. It’s not the play.
I’ve seen it said a lot that most Dems can’t say that they want Biden to drop out, even if they really do, because they don’t want to hurt their own political careers by being seen as “out of step” with the party. I appreciate that Pelosi, as someone who doesn’t have to worry about her career so much, is coming out and saying this.
Pelosi should have retired ages ago so whatever
she did retire from speaker
