Fucking dynasties. Might as well be kings or royalty handing down positions by primogeniture.
She probably saw how easy it is for her mom to make money by insider trading and wants some of that green herself.
Unless she married a stock broker in college I don’t see this as being any sort of problem.
EDIT: Nope, Film Producer, she’s good.
And no one will vote for her. Just watch.
Please please please please please please please
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’s 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.
59? That seems extremely young to retire. I’d be more concerned about her being too right wing.
I’d be more concerned about her being too right wing.
Two things can be true at once.
But also, 59 is getting close to geriatocracy territory. Just because the Senate is named after an institution of old men doesn’t mean it should strive to imitate all the bullshit of its namesake.
6 years from retirement age.
A workaholic attitude toward life is far worse for all of us than a right-wing ideology. Our political representatives believe it virtuous to work into the grave, so none of us get to retire.
If you think that being involved in politics at 59 is a workaholic attitude and worse than being right wing, you should be publicly executed for good measure.
“You should die”, what a good argument… Not saying I think they’re right but I do think you’re wrong.
Because it’s not worth arguing about. If someone thinks that being 60 in elected office is worse than being right wing, that doesn’t even rise to the level of ridiculous.
Edit: switched words around by accident
Bernie Sanders (as an example) is over 60 and doesn’t have the stance you mentioned earlier. Despite all the doom and gloom you see on the news, there are definitely older people fighting the good fight. I do wish politicians would shift down in age a bit but telling someone they should be killed for their opinion isn’t being a better person than those you’re fighting against.
Edit: I see your edit but my point is still that wishing death on people you disagree with ain’t the way
Ok so we agree, you just don’t like my shit talking. Totally acceptable.
FFS! Just take your vast troves of unethically sourced riches and go away, Pelosis!
(After said riches are properly taxed, of course)
For a 100 year career run with next gen rich people healthcare enriching the family for generations to come.
Can I ask what your main issue is with Christine?
Can’t speak for OP but I’m presuming it’s her association by maternal relation with one of the leaders of the modern Democratic party, of which the blatant corruption, chronic neglect of the working class and unwillingness to pass off positions of power to the next generation has brought upon an era of desperation, extreme political divide and fascism.
I actually know next to nothing about Christine Pelosi or her politics. For all I know she could be the most progressive politician in California. But I find it far more likely that she’s just going to follow in her mother’s footsteps and push to maintain the status quo that benefits the wealthy and powerful at the cost of the average American.
Well now we’ve moved on to another topic, the claim of blatant corruption of Nancy Pelosi, can you cite an example of that?
Seriously? Can you come up with a single example of something she accomplished that wasn’t because of corporate interest?
Fucking political nepo babies.
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
always vote in primaries!
Love reinventing the aristocracy.
Nepobaby politicians, yeah the Kennedy family has fucked us enough we don’t need more of the same shit.
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.
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.
This exact thing needs to be repeated everywhere. Well said.
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.
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…)
Letting the days go by.
