I wouldn't be surprised if it's over 55% now.

All running away from Nancy Pelosi. Which means they're running away from Democratic policy. Which means that all the "Berners" out there are not going to get what they want this election cycle. We're going to get a bunch of Democrats who waffle on real Democratic ideas that need implementing.

Not really. If the Dems take back the House, Pelosi should do a one year victory lap as a thank you for her service (and I hold her least to blame for the Dems current standing - she did her job and passed Obama's agenda unlike Harry Reid). Then, she needs to step down and hand the reigns over to someone else in time for the 2020 elections. I'm indifferent as to whether that person is a hard core progressive or a more center lefty but that would be the time for the progressives to flex their muscle.

I'd prefer Pelosi staying. She's very effective and the knucks who flip out over her are exactly the ones I want speaking in public for the right. If we on the left ever get our act together pragmatic centrists like Nancy will suddenly discover that they are really fire-breathing leftists. Pols don't have principles -- they move with the fashion.

Its called strategy Scooby. Nancy Pelosi is the devil to all Republican voters and will be used as a way to paint every candidate under the same brush. You neutralize that by walking away from her. You know do the opposite of what they did with Hillary Clinton. Not one of them will hold to it when they get into office. Same thing Republicans did when they took back Congress. They were all "Anti War" and "Fiscal Responsibility" and "Anti Dubya" yet as soon as they got in they flipped right back to the same BS they always do.

Yeah except those knucks you hate vote when they have a reason and she is a big reason. She needs to not be Speaker of the House. As long as she is in leadership the Dems will have problems because their turnout blows.

You think the knucks will be enamored with the next speaker? They will hate the next one just as much, won't make a difference.

This.
It's all more Democrats running against Democrats. Their is never a coalition and that's why they consistently lose. Running from Pelosi to me spells more disaster. Just like running from Clinton was disaster. Not only did that lose them the Supreme Court and the Presidency but it gave Republicans majorities in both Houses of Congress.

She's not "a big reason." They'll be given another reason. Obama was the most dignified, competent, moderate president of the last hundred years and they hated him with the passion of the mentally unstable. We have to stop self-censoring and stop self-editing and start putting forward the strongest people, and if that gives the righties the vapors so much the better. People don't vote for the Dems because they think we are cowards -- if we can't stand up to the Republican zombies how are we going to protect them from Putin? And from a certain angle they are right.
It's time to tell the "not in the face!" Dems to sit down, shut up, vote straight ticket and have the sincere, passionate left take over. Or rather, it's time for the real left to take over the party and push the moderates out of the way. Without that we just have another lost generation of leadership twiddling their thumbs (and getting personally rich) while the nation turns into a rightwing death camp.

You and Rover can repeat this endlessly but it's still no more true than the day after the election when the Clintoinistas started looking for someone to blame for their own failure.
But Hillary is dead and gone and there's no point rehashing her. Move on. 2018 presents no problem at all for left / center cooperation. The next time we start yammering about this should be summer 2019 when the candidates start announcing for the nomination. Until then we're just one big happy family trying to drag the GOP to the lake's edge, push it in, jump in afterwards, and hold its head down long enough for it to never bother the US again.

Yeah, what a disaster it was for Conor Lamb to run away from Pelosi.

You're the one burying your head in the sand. Running away from Pelosi is the same ****ing behavior. Democrats NEVER LEARN.

Exceptions to every rule. Just wait. Conor Lamb isn't a Bernie Democrat. The fact that were so happy about him mystifies me. He's farther right than Obama and Clinton were.

He represents a decisively red district--he's about as far left as anyone can be while still winning. The fact that you don't grasp that mystifies me. The district dictates the strategy. If running away from Pelosi gets us centrists in red districts, I'm happy with that.

I'm not happy with that. I don't think we should have to cannibalize ourselves for votes. Republicans never do that and that's why they win.
EDIT: I shouldn't say never. When they do it they move farther right.

He flipped a seat. That's what matters. That's why we're happy. I'm probably the farthest left person on the board and I will take every blue dog and every DINO we can get in red districts. Now, the minute we have a chance to replace them with someone farther left, yes, do it in a heartbeat. And whenever he says "well, I think we should move farther right because..." we nod and grin and do nothing to appease him.
But the first job is eradicating Republicans. We will circle back around and order our own house later. Blue dogs are perfectly fine as long as we give them nothing and don't let them anywhere near the platform. We can use them to discredit GOP blather about all Dems being insane Satanist Ivy Leaguers who bathe.

It took them about 7 seconds to transfer their hatred of Reid to Schumer. Pelosi to anyone will be the same.
