They absolutely could oust Pelosi. AOC didn't even argue against that. Her response is that Pelosi would leave a void and someone worse could fill it.
It's not clear to me who that would be or what that would look like. A "worse" person would also be less powerful than Pelosi.

Regardless of whether they force a floor vote, a handful of progressives could decide against voting for Pelosi under any condition.
It wouldn't make McCarthy R-CA speaker. Dems would hold another vote w/ a different candidate.

3/4 of Americans think Pelosi needs to step down. Her favorables are worse than Trumps. Anti-Pelosi ads likely hurt down ballot candidates as much as or more than "defund" ads. But some of you think it would be "bad optics" to oppose her.
The same folks who think it's *bad optics* to fight for Medicare for All when 72% of Americans support it in the middle of a global health pandemic.
