Thanks, I dont need to know anything else about her then.

If Pelosi endorses her, then she's a dogshit corpo dem. Do not vote with Pelosi.

    I'm only more assured I made the right choice voting for Saikat

    I voted for Saikat too, the day after I received my ballot in the mail.

    Also no regrets.

    Pelosi's endorsement seems very late.

    Far too late to shift the race in any meaningful way, except maybe to pull Chan ahead of Saikat?

    But why endorse now, if you believe the polls that say Weiner is far ahead?

    That's a good point. This is a very late endorsement on Pelosi's part.

    I feel it's more about shutting down any progressive threats. We already know Weiner is controlled by the establishment. Chan seems controllable as well, when Saikat is going to behave as a populist and announce progressive policies that will excite voters.

    Isn't she one of the good ones? Sorry, oblivious European here

    Yes she is one of the good ones but has been in congress a very long time and represents the old guard. Many in the US feel it's time for a hard shift left and for the old guard to leave. She has also taken money from Zionist / terrorist sympathizers so it's time for her and the people she supports to leave government.

    She also got very rich on insider trading during her long time in Congress.

    Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has endorsed San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed her in Congress.

    Pelosi’s endorsement could push Chan into second place behind Sen. Scott Wiener, who is leading by double digits, ahead of self-funding tech entrepreneur Saikat Chakrabarti.

    AOC should be in this fight and is absent.

    Breaking news: Connie Chan arrested for suspected ties to Chinese government... maybe.
