[+] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org -32 points 3 years ago* (3 children) Have you seen what she has been voting for and the changes she went through in less than 4 years? She is closer to Nancy Pelosi than anyone the left should be going for, while also letting the Justice Dems. die out. She endorsed Biden the same day Biden agrees to send Cluster bombs to Ukraine... I don't think the people see her the same way as we did in the start of her career as a politician. edit: fixed cluster bomb info permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Zoboomafoo@yiffit.net 12 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Nancy Pelosi, one of the most effective and successful politicians in congress?

I am just trying to point out the reality of politicians. We have to stop seeing them as our saviors or people that can't be corrupted, they are politicians. We need to force them to fight for the people, we can't treat them as just another celebrity. Power is not given just because we like them and defend them, we need to keep pushing them so they stay in line to what they ran on. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago* I don't think There.
