People really need to appreciate how undemocratic this campaign to oust @NancyPelosi is.
Because yes, it isn't just sexist and ageist, it's an explicit attempt to overrule the mandate of the election.

Pelosi's caucus won. It won not because Trump voters flipped but because young people, women and POC both ran and voted for a liberal House.
Now a handful of mostly white, mostly male centrists is saying screw that, replace NP with a centrist Speaker who will court Trump voters.

As I said, my beef isn't with freshman Dems who won tough red districts partly by promising to be independent.
My beef is with longtime centrist Ds in safe blue districts like Ryan, Moulton and Perlmutter who are staging a coup & hypocritically claiming we need "new leadership".

It's hard to look at what they're doing and see it as anything but, we don't like how diverse and liberal this incoming caucus is, so let's oust the Speaker who has stood for diversity and liberalism throughout her tenure.
Republicans couldn't have dreamed of anything better.
