Question Why do pe0ple hate Nancy Pelosi so much?

This is a serious question. I don’t follow politics enough to know the answer. Is it her personality? Or has she said or done something that makes her an awful human being?

I’d really like to know what it is, if any of you have some ideas.

She’s a career moderate that has blocked actual progressive policy for 40 years
She’s just Mitch McConnell in a vegan fur coat

She is the Dem House leader so everything get blamed on her


Conservatives especially hate her because she's a woman. You don't see nearly as much vitriol from them over someone like Schumer or Harry Reid before him. When it's a woman in charge it's a whole other level of hate.


Many conservatives now refer to Kamala Harris as "Jezebel". Over the next 4 years she's going to become their enemey #1

Someone please enlighten me with any progressive policy she’s ever spearheaded

All I can see in her legacy is the broken ACA “you need to pass it to know what’s in it” legislation
We could’ve pushed through actual nationalized healthcare but we got...that

Oh and holding up initial aid because of her vacation during a pandemic, and closing hair salons but getting her hair done

here's my beef with nancy and chuck: despite their policies enjoying overwhelming support among the population and winning the national popular vote in all congressional and presidental elections, the democrats never get anything done, and these clowns are the people in charge. and anytime anyone criticizes nancy it's "people just hate her because she's a woman," an unhelpful whatabout move that changes the conversation from her ineffectiveness.

i realize that there are plenty of reasons for democratic failure, but the buck stops at the top. get those fuckas OUTTATHERE!

of course, the reason they're there and theyll never leave until they die is because they're puppets of the same elite interests that drive the republicans. idk how many times i read something nancy's done and think "jesus christ it's like they're trying to lose on purpose" WONDER WHY THAT IS

The Speaker can't force conservative Dems to vote for progressive issues. The progressive caucus is a minority block in the house. Elect more progressives to house seats and the legislation that passes will be more progressive.

That's not Nancy's fault. If progressivism is so appealing it would be the controlling block in the House. It isn't.

Well that just isn't true.

Here is a list of all the bills that were introduced and passed by the 116th congress

First, see above.

But really you can probably trace a through line from Howard dean to Barack Obama and how they got off on national attention for national races while ignoring state houses that took control and gerrymandered the fuck out of everything.

Literally none of that has anything to do with Nancy pelosi.

This. The corporate neoliberal Democrat moderate oligarchs periodically offer minor cultural capitulations in exchange for maintaining their stranglehold on the political power structure and allocation of resources. Politics is a market in which Democrats and Republicans function as a duopoly maintaining 99.9% market share. It's like Coca-Cola and PepsiCo but worse by orders of magnitude. It's good cop / bad cop.

Of course it's easy for members of the dominator class (in general, white male heterosexual) to shrug off the importance of identity politics. It's just that Republicans and Democrats clearly agree with Karl Marx in that the economy (access to resources) clearly shapes the polity which in turn shapes the culture more strongly than the reverse process occurs. When the IRA stops your bus in Ireland in the 1990s, asks the first guy to get off what religion he is, he says protestant, and they shoot him in the head, what religion do you think the second person is going to claim? So to the extent that oppression is rooted in invisible cultural values, it's totally secondary to the economic structure. You gotta eat before you can self actualize, and you can't have a hole in the back of your skull if you're going to do anything at all. The Democrats periodically throw bread crumbs to oppressed phenotypes and act like the saviors, but it's just a symbolic capitulation to them. They don't have any skin in the game. Nancy Pelosi is worth $100 million, but that's nothing compared to the people who pay her. They want stability, they want a guaranteed ROI. They don't need to take risks with their treasure hoards. 2.5% annual GDP growth is enough to amplify their wealth without any risk at all.

The D's and R's care about one thing: protecting the economic structure as it currently exists in the name of the corporate overlords who pay then to do so, and they have become exceedingly efficient at quashing outsiders. 20 years ago, being openly supportive of gay marriage was controversial as a Democrat. Now, it's the kiss of death if you're a Democrat and you haven't adapted. The value structures are totally independent of the power structures. The Democrats swap their values around to shape public opinion, but are economically right of Richard Nixon.

And just to be clear, I'm not making some sort of false equivalency between Trumpist fascism and neoliberalism, or saying that social justice doesn't matter. It's just that the result of decades of activism and literal bloodshed have ultimately not resulted in much beyond symbolic capitulation from the party which claims to be progressive.
