Of course she doesn't care now, she's only a few years away from retiring or dying on the job anyways

    She's really going to get hers and then pull up the ladder behind her, eh? What a boomer.

    She's actually too old to be a boomer. Pelosi is silent generation.

    No, no, the correct meaning of "boomer" apparently is "anyone older than me that I don't like"

    Attempting to explain anything meaningful by referencing generational cohorts is a lazy, useless pastime anyway. It has about as much intellectual rigor and explanatory power as astrology or the theory of humours.

    Retire? Oh you're funny.

    She is 100% planning on dying in office. She's obviously one those people who are obsessed with leaving a "legacy". In her mind she's going to be remember as the first female member of the House and a groundbreaking feminist who made way for others, etc.

    Which would have probably stuck if she'd retired a decade ago. Now she's going to remembered as a greedy ghoul who intentionally sabotaged other politicians and held back society to enrich herself. This is too little, too late.

    a groundbreaking feminist who made way for others

    Ah, right, he "woman CEO" 1970s bourgeois feminist trope. But experience has now demonstrated that here's no difference between a male and a female corrupt weasel. Capitalists are still capitalists, and their weasel mouthpieces are still weasels.

    This is a huge about-face by her. Why couldn't she have done this when she was still in power?

    She stopped supporting it when it had a real chance of passing. Performative progressivism is the Democrat way.

  • Nah it looks like she was for banning trades using insider trading, and against banning Congress members and their spouses from trading stocks.

    If your husband/wife's entire career is trading stocks I highly doubt you'd be for such. It's hypocritical that she would be for it now though. She should have kept her stance that she had in that 2012 article, that increasing scrutiny and verifying their trades should be done to make sure no inside information was used.

    she doesn’t care now

    She still cares and if this had a chance to pass shed vote against it

    We'll see neoliberals claim to want progressive policy now, because they'll never have to vote on it.

    The same way Republicans spent four years demanding Epstein lists, and now that they can release them they won't.

    Normally I'd agree, but she's one of the old boomers. She's planning to stay in power another 15 years.

    Well, kids these days only care about TikCrafts and their MineToks, so it's our fault she has to stay in power. If we cared more about governance by the people, for the people, instead of streaming Fartnight, she could learn what skibidi toilet Ohio means from her great-grandkids and know why Democrats lose there.
