I thought I was simply describing what has happened while she has been around. I explicitly said I do not hold her individually responsible for the things I mentioned. The fascism we have today is a failure of EVERYONE who did not stand up to the fascists early and often, and instead just assumed the system would correct itself. Pelosi was part of that, but just one person among many. And of course, the Republicans must bear more of the responsibility.

The problem, IMHO, is that inside the beltway, there exists a thought process that nothing outside that beltway really matters much, that all they really have to do is make deals with each other inside the Beltway. Let's hope Tuesday's wipe-out elections show people how important it is to serve the American people, not the corporations and billionaires.

Mamdani made many bold proposals. That is what people are craving. His detractors (including many inside the Party whose Primary he won by a mile) called him every name in the book, but that didn't lose him any votes. In fact, it probably helped him. Americans aren't stupid. When they see the rich and powerful belly-aching about Mamdani, that's a pretty good sign that he is onto something important. More of that, please.
