"Mass gatherings are irresponsible and should be banned to stop the pandemic, except if it's for a cause we deem worthy" - the public health community imho lost a fuckton of trust and credibility with this inconsistent stance.

Yeah I mean 1200 signatures is not an impressive number. I can promise you that average physician sentiment was that these protests are a bad idea from a public health standpoint

This narrative that CNN/MSNBC and some Dems took up did little to win public trust. Pelosi is a proven political hack anyway as shown by stimulus discussions pre election

Even though one party might suck more, both parties suck

I'm incredibly pissed at Pelosi over stimulus right now.

I dont understand her. When youre that old and rich why dont you just retire and drink pina coladas all day?

Why be a giant cockblocker in congress I just dont get it

I totally understand McConnel. Hes super successful. I dont understand Pelosi at all. Probably just a power trip thing. Im not against playing politics, but shes so fucking bad at it.

but she has really big boobs

Yeah I mean those shenanigans she played when Trump conceded about individual PPE, stimulus checks, school, airline aid ... which WAS the dem talking point just days before. Then suddenly reversing and saying we are no longer interested in dealing with it piece by piece and want to solve it all.

Games like these are why nobody truly can respect Dems either. Pelosi NEEDS to go. She does NOT do the party a service right now imo. McConnell is satan irl but he knows how to politic well. Dems are just awful at politicking. even if they have the high ground on a specific issue they just do whatever they can to sink themselves to their opponents level

it will be late 2021 and Pelosi will still be blaming Trump, Pence, and out-of-work Americans for a lack of stimulus package/PPE provisions/etc. in her budget proposals
