Nancy was a nepo baby, this is a nepo grandbaby. Third gen legacy lmfao.
End their political lineage early with booting them off the ballot in a primary election

Love reinventing the aristocracy.

Dear leftist in San Francisco, you have a good option. Saikat Chakrabarti. Don't let the nation down. If the people that made Trump, Gulliani, Bloomberg, & Cuomo can deliver, so can you.
But but but tv talking head man said name with more than 3 syllable is scarey jihad?????
You gotta admit it's problematic. I'm white as can be, and so is my first and last name, totally black middle name. Think John Tyrone Jones. Did not get a single reply on my resume for 2-months until I removed my middle name. 3 interviews, 2 offers and a job within 2 weeks. (This was 10 years ago.)
To this day I'm surprised Barack Hussein Obama made it all the way to the top. Times have changed drastically, but not that much.
LOL, at least I can pronounce her name. Some Indian names utterly kick my ass. Still, easier than Eastern European names. "I have no idea what those letters represent." At least I can sound out Indian names. :)
The romanized versions of Indian names rely on more recent standardized transliteration rules.
Eastern European names keep legacy orthographies that are tied to centuries‑old literary traditions, records, and national identities.
I struggle with many Polish names especially.

Not gonna lie, I also had to look his name up. I've known about him for almost a decade, and I didn't know how to spell his name. I too believe that it's a racism card that has to be broken, but if a Muslim socialist who's called a communist can do it, I think he might be able to as well. I even think he's a better option than Mamdani.
He certainly has more political experience than Mamdani having been AOC's chief of staff.
As a San Franciscan, I am telling everyone about saikat and how he is the best choice. But I think there are Democrats here that care more about low taxes and niche identity politics, like getting trans kids in sports, more than getting those same kids access to health care, housing, and food. SF is not an easy place for an economic leftist to get elected.
It sounds like Saikat Chakrabarti would be wise to come out in support of trans rights, if he hasn't already.

She's 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.
This IS a retirement plan... best benefits in the entire country, very little actual work, tons of grifting opportunities and best of all, zero accountability... what is the electorate going to do? vote for Maga?

I thought she was running for her mom's seat but I'm glad she's not. If she wants to run for local to prove herself then go for it. Lots of people follow in parents footsteps and it makes sense.
That said, I fully support progressive Saikat Chakrabarti running for Pelosi's House seat (against Wiener who is an AIPAC candidate...)

FFS! Just take your vast troves of unethically sourced riches and go away, Pelosis!
(After said riches are properly taxed, of course)
Fucking dynasties. Might as well be kings or royalty handing down positions by primogeniture.

Tbf, primaries are carefully orchestrated by elites of both parties to make sure only their preferred factions dominate the primary ballots. Signing up to register in Republican and Democratic parties are intentionally made to be hard.
I still remember when Bernie did his first run and suddenly a bunch of people had to vote provisional. It's almost as if the elections are rigged on both sides, with only a state's major opposing political party being caught.

She probably saw how easy it is for her mom to make money by insider trading and wants some of that green herself.
Now it makes sense why she is finally retiring
Nepobaby politicians, yeah the Kennedy family has fucked us enough we don't need more of the same shit.
Wait NVM she's not running for her mom's seat, she's running for state senate. I generally don't think family dynasty politics are a good thing, but I also don't know anything about her. I guess that's not quite as infuriating as it could be?
Christine Pelosi passes on bid for retiring mother’s House seat
It is important people know that before she announced she was stepping down, Pelosi was already being challenged by a progressive who has proven he won't just go along with mainstream media spin.
I can't vote for him, but California, this seems like it could be your chance to take a step towards actually getting the control of your state out of the hands of big business "progressives" and "liberals."
AOC's former campaign manager who made CNN so uncomfortable by refusing to drop the subject and asking them to just please acknowledge reality. The host chuckled nervously and cut to a commercial break. Seems like an obvious choice.
CNN Cuts Off Pelosi Primary Challenger’s Discussion of NSPM-7
Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive organizer who is challenging US Rep. Nancy Pelosi for the House seat she has held since 1987, was met with stone-faced stares and laughter on CNN when he spoke during a panel discussion Monday about the Trump administration national security memo that one journalist said amounts to a “declaration of war” on the president’s political opponents.
“Do you think that’s okay?” he asked the other panelists. “Can you put two and two together about what’s going on here?”
None of the other guests responded, and Seat looked blankly at Chakrabarti before Sidner said the show was going to a commercial break.
“We will answer that question, coming up,” Sidner said, laughing. “We’re going to leave it there for that conversation.”
The Democrats, left? As someone not living in the US, to me, Democrats are just a light right wing party. At best they might be considered centrists, but left?! Sorry for your "choices".
FPTP means de facto 2 party system.
The democraric party is really just an uneasy coalition between many different parties in a big trench coat labeled "Democratic Party", pragmatic leftists are usually in the Democraric party, but not all Democrats are on the "left".

The grift must continue!!!... it's a family tradition now
No nepotism happening here.
She has experience in govt, but has never been elected to any office. I hope the voters primary her for a slightly more experienced candidate.
you guys are in this mess because of "experienced candidates". Experienced doesn't mean good.

And no one will vote for her. Just watch.
Please please please please please please please
Too young come back in 40 years
And just when I thought that bitch would die, here comes another establishment crook to prevent progress of promising folks like Jasmine and AOC. Republicans are disgusting, but dems are almost as bad. Another Pelosi? Yuck!
