CA-12

-by Shahid ButtarOver the course of the last several months, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has been lionized by centrist voices promoting her as the face of our so-called “resistance" to President Trump’s corruption and incompetence.

With no progressive likely to challenge Pelosi for House Democratic leader after the midterms-- what a tragedy!-- the Democrats are going to wind up with the most corrupt member of their caucus, Wall Street’s very own Joe Crowley, as leader/Speaker.

Nancy Pelosi used to be my own member of Congress. She was a lot more progressive-- even forcefully so, back then-- than my current member of Congress, her New Dem ally and former Blue Dog Adam Schiff. I used to vote for her regularly. Except for the first time he ran, I never voted for Adam. I never thought the day would come when I would urge my friends in San Francisco to vote against Pelosi. But this anti-Choice, pro-Blue Dog stand of hers and her puppet Ben Ray Lujan's was the last straw for me. And she happens to have an excellent primary opponent this time in Stephen Jaffe.
