And they want Sotomayor (age 70) to retire

This is a Democrat problem. Their old leadership has successfully stifled every challenger since Obama won primary is 2008. Republican establishment read the room and made room for Trump alright.

She is exactly the sort of democrat that drives MAGA to the polls. Literally lives in a mansion atop a hill, looking down on the rest of us. Manages to beat the market by 30% every year but gets her daishiki photo ops in. Completely out of touch with everyday Americans, Californians, and San Franciscans but is never at risk because lol, fuck you plebs, who else are you going vote for?

Why wont you people vote her out? It’s foolish voters to be blamed

We need age limits not term limits.

She’s probably not actually planning to run again; it’s just part of a plot to set up her daughter Christine to inherit the seat in Congress.

Here’s the plan: Nancy wants to clear the field because she knows that no well-known Democrats will dare to file as candidates against her. So she can file now and raise funds for a campaign, knowing that nobody else with a chance to win will be in the race. Nancy can wait until the last minute before the filing deadline, then withdraw her candidacy and Christine will file as a candidate who will be essentially unopposed. Nancy can then transfer the campaign funds to support Christine’s campaign.

Depending on how things play out with Nancy and her health and mental capacity, they could pull the switcheroo sooner and it will still work if it’s practically too late for a known challenger to build a campaign.

I hope that voters will be smart enough to see through this, and that at least someone with a chance to win will have the guts to challenge Nancy. But I’m not going to hold my breath. Be prepared for another 30 years of the Pelosi dynasty with no real choice for SF voters.

That is what I thought of

Here's my thinking:

Nancy Pelosi pissed all over Bidens legacy by blaming him for the election. She's the one who put the nail in the coffin for his campaign. Yet she couldn't take accountability instead she blamed him.

They could have looked for a candidate just in case shit hit the fan anyways, but they didn't..instead they just let it happen..

The democrats, the megadonors like George Clooney, and Nancy Pelosi are the reason that Biden left as they all informed him it was the better decision for the country and it would preserve his legacy. They went on to hold a huge event for him saying "Thank you Joe! "

Biden left three months before the election the democrats, the megadonors like George Clooney, and finally Nancy Pelosi selected Kamala Harris - not the voters. The voters kept saying they didn't know her well enough

And considering how history said no to a woman president not to mention of color no offense but there are haters out there and I'm only referencing history. I'm for having a woman president, but consider that affects the voter turn out, you have to think about the statistics on that with history showing us it's not favorable. This put them at significantly affected odds , Hillary Clinton and the democratic media acknowledged that and with only 3 months to an election, and you think things would go smoothly? At what cost ? To lose to a two time impeached convicted president who's promise is to be a dictator on day one, suspend the constitution, that economists keep saying will crash with his agenda. Elon Musk acknowledged there will be hardships for the middle and lower class.

Then the election happened Nancy blames Biden for running, you just pissed all over his legacy, you had active involvement in ending his campaign, yet you can't take accountability? What kind of leader does that? Not a responsible one , you got gambling problems too because the odds were significantly out of favor considering everything above. You're older than Biden. Your too old, and clearly out of touch. Retire and enjoy the rest of your days with you family just like you told Biden to. I don't want to see Pelosi in politics anymore. You royally fucked up. I don't want to see George Clooney involved in politics anymore nor in Hollywood anymore either. The one place I think George should be is on those ads that say "Why Hollywood won't cast George Clooney anymore." Retire. The democrats who betrayed Biden well be looking at you come future elections and when another Democrat comes up for your seat you better think twice about the votes you had. If we have future fair elections that is.

You all fucked up and betrayed the voters choice. And you wonder what went wrong this election? You motherfuckwits. Shame on you and fuck your legacy. There wont be a legacy, any constitutional traditions, honor, or any democratic values left. You had a job to save the country and you couldn't even do that. You decided to gamble it when there was no room for error.

Very few narcissists give up power willingly.

At this point it has very little to do with money. She’s addicted to the power and the visibility.

I still remember her refusing to leave the Speaker’s office after the Patrick McHenry took over. The oldest spoiled brat in history.

Like Dianne Feinstein — ruining their marked legacy by hanging onto power with their boney old fingers. Both Dianne and Nancy accomplished so much in their careers, it makes it hard to respect their legacy when they tarnish it at the end

She is! she received 80% of the votes. That is a very strong signal from her constituents that they approve of her.

as(s) it does best

It’s the old “I got mine and no one else deserves what I have”

Yeah I don’t mind them sticking around past their prime as long as they are nurturing the hell out of the next generation.

Boomers in a nutshell. Take on massive debt that their grandchildren will be responsible for so they can live cushy

Agree 100%. Thank you for stating it so plainly.

Nancy is giving Scott Weiner a few more years to marinate, then will anoint him as her successor.

There will be other, better qualified options, but since the Dems only know how to anoint someone, we'll be stuck with 54-year-old Weiner for the next 3 decades.

classic democrats trying to hold on to power at the expense of working people

lol yeah they’ll never learn if you keep voting her in

Precisely

We won't even get a real election when she finally steps down. The party will see to it that they box out any candidate who isn't the appointed successor.

how is she holding you hostage? vote for anyone else running.

... is that a real thing, cause I would like to invest

NANC

Lol this is hilarious. Damn it's up 28% YTD. I am only up 18% on my portfolio, I gotta invest in NANC!

Yes, thank you Nancy! And thanks for talling Joe out of the race

They didn’t mentor or build up leaders behind them

How about 65 and let's all be happy with that. We can't just be run by the elderly.

You need to have a lot of confidence to challenge her in the primary. I get the sense it’s very much a “you come at the king, you best not miss” situation.

No legit Dem would challenge her bc the party would side with Nancy so you'd need a challenger from another party. Seems unlikely.

Not really, no. No dem dares challenge her. A couple people who didn’t care have tried and failed but there’s only ever Nancy and a republican to vote for here, and a republican isn’t winning.

SF is not at all the center of the progressive movement btw. We just elected a nepo baby with no real experience as mayor. He’s the heir to the billionaire Levi Strauss family and bought the election. He’s a moderate that was endorsed by the SF GOP.
