Title: Even centrist House Democrats think Pelosi is hurting their party
Post by: Free Vulcan on September 16, 2020, 11:27:57 pm
One week after the media tried to downplay the fact that Senate Democrats blocked a coronavirus relief bill, vulnerable House Democrats are showing once again that it’s Democratic leadership that is stonewalling relief efforts.

The centrist Democrats who flipped Republican-held seats have been pushing Speaker Nancy Pelosi to stand down from her all-or-nothing approach thus far. Pelosi has been unwilling to compromise on her demands while Senate Democrats used the filibuster to sink the GOP’s bill.

Centrists such as Virginia Rep. Abigail Spanberger have insisted her fellow Democrats must bring something to the floor, saying, “My conviction is to actually do my damn job and come up with a solution for the American people.” New York Rep. Max Rose said that the actions of House leadership made him “disappointed to be a Democrat.”

They have some points

1. Nancy decided to spend the energy to pursue a worthless impeachment instead of directing attention to a lethal virus epidemic.
2. Nancy is keeping them in DC instead of campaigning at home for re-election, so the Republican opposition for that seat is given a free reign with the citizens who matter.
3. Nancy is stopping their constituents from getting another bonus check prior to the election.  Voters will remember who stopped these payments.
