Sure, but you also have to look at recent history. But then again, maybe 2016 is clouding my judgment. :yeshrug:

But going by poll numbers she's pretty unpopular and I worry that it'll hurt Dems overall -

Exclusive: Nancy Pelosi targeted in more than a third of GOP House commercials

Why is she unpopular?

I'm sure Most Americans don't "Admire" her but I don't think they spend every day of their lives bytching about Pelosi.

The boogieman tactic doesn't influence voter turnout..ideas do.

The fact she's unpopular with people who voted for Trump makes my point. I don't give a fukk about them or their opinions.

We need to stop pandering to them by throwing Pelosi to the wolves. If you're going to run away from Pelosi, run towards someone even more polarizing to republicans.

I want to believe that American voters are too smart to be swayed by boogieman tactics, but I mean...Trump is president. :francis:

Personally I'm just not willing to be optimistic about American voters.

And I'll be the first to say that the hate for Pelosi is unwarranted. But (to a degree) that's true about Hillary too but it still hurt the party when it came to elections. Considering she's old anyway, I'm just thinking maybe it'd be better to get someone new in that people haven't already formed their opinions about.

Voting tomorrow...

Make sure you at the very least take a look at the candidates and their platforms.

You could also do a little looking in the voting history of incumbents. This shouldn't take you more than 20 minutes.

No the fukk it doesn't take less than 20. I don't vote in primaries cause it's impossible to find any information if the candidate hasn't grabbed a national headline.
