The only other person up for speaker was more right wing than Pelosi. She did the right thing, no one on the left was willing to cross Nancy specifically Barbara Lee who was the only qualified person who might have interest. Calling her mama bear I'm hoping is strategy.
Real Progressives are a minority in Congress right now so you have to be savvy and not wear your intentions on your sleeve. Otherwise, they will see you coming from a mile away and put the kobash on your efforts before you even get started. She is playing the long game and that's what's necessary for our side right now.

I would agree with this if AOC was the deciding vote...far from it, Pelosi had it locked up...220 to 192. The citizens give politicians too much wiggle room to weave in/out of their supposed political ideologies

She could've abstain from voting for a corporate dem (especially the stimulus packages), to send a signal to her base and colleagues but she voted for mama bear then revamped her staff to include DC swamp regulars, and is still allowed to spew rhetoric about progressive/lefties solutions

Warren justify taking corporate money because "the other side is doing it and I'm trying to get elected" encourages indifferent/jilted citizens

It would also send a signal to Pelosi and most likely garnered retribution. :francis:

It doesn't but neither does going against the political machine just cause like you said they already had the votes. If she did abstain Pelosi would have peeped game, given her no committee appointments she wants, undermined all her policy proposals and try to handicap her re-election. Let's take the mask off when we are ready to win. That's the goal not being right all the time.

which makes it the career climbing blueprint of swamp regulars. So she needs to stay in her lane of being an inspiring swamp regular and stop regurgitating/waterdown views/philosophies of the frustrated citizens, if she's not about that life when it counts

But you admitted the house speaker vote, her vote wouldn't make a difference this it doesn't fall under the 'when It counts' scenario.

being that it wasn't such a scenario, Pelosi scoffing at the medias' hyping of the squad's influence, and Pelosi's mastery of the theatrics, AOC making such a symbolic gesture more likely wouldn't hurt her in the eyes of a career politician

Fast forward to the stimulus vote, with the predicted criticism of it after voting for it...she showing you who she is, believe her
