Pelosi is Democrat leadership. She is responsible for the supreme court running rampant, kamala, and the war on drugs still being a thing. She deserves to be hung as a traitor to the republic. Furious. We are furious at her. I'm angry at my dog for pissing on the couch. I'm furious at Pelosi.
- You do know Pelosi stepped down from her leadership position almost exactly 2 years ago, right?
  
  And she’s no longer making decisions for the party, right? …right?!
  
  Certainly not making public statements or anything.
  
  …so what did we just read in the article?
  
  Oh buddy. It's sarcasm. It's in the headline.
  
  You mean her formal position as speaker of the house?
  What an amazingly condescending tone to turn on your mod flag for. And to be so wrong!
  
  Speaker of the House is different from Minority Leader.
  She was removed as Speaker when the House fell to Republican control.
  She voluntarily stepped down as minority leader almost exactly 2 years ago, replaced by Hakeem Jeffries.
  She's no longer a leader of the party other than in terms of seniority. Hasn't been for 2 years.
  
  Calm down with the paragraph breaks
  We're talking about leadership within the democratic party
  Not leadership positions in congress
  
  She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.
  The only thing separating her from any other person in Congress is seniority. She's #5 in congress behind 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats:
  Hal Rogers - R - Kentucky - Dean of the House
  Chris Smith - R - New Jersey
  Steny Hoyer - D - Maryland
  Marcy Kaptur - D - Ohio
  I can't speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today. Steny Hoyer, definitely.
  
  She has no leadership in the party without an official leadership position in the House.
  She has donors and money and client patron relationships with people in power, including the current democratic party leadership in your formulation
  I can’t speak for you, but I know I never heard of Marcy Kaptur before today.
  Yes that's correct
- If you start hanging people trying to run the government no good people will want to be in the government.
  it is a feedback loop for national bloodshed.
