So, when you think about this, remember:
1) There is not a large coalition against Nancy, only splinter groups.
2) The loudest opposition is actually conservative or centrist democrats.
3) We need experience.
There are only two years to go here. Someone will succeed Nancy eventually. I have my own favorite. We all do. But now is not the time

A left wing super progressive pie throwing bernie bro who usually would clamour for change but sees the bigger picture so please, no flags.

We need many viewpoints, but we don't need to ignore what the electorate said in the elections. We don't need to continue on the course that GOPers have laid out; that was repudiated by the voters. Nancy Pelosi had an accurate read on the voters before the elections and advised Democratic candidates accordingly. Those who listened, won.

(297,655 posts)3. She knows right now we need to hit the ground running and only someone who has been there before
Barbara Lee, for example, one of the most progressive congressional voices of the past 40 years has moved into a leadership role for the first time and has stated she is not seeking the Speakership. There are organizations that want to draft her, but she is smart and knows that there will be other opportunities. Indeed those organizations also know that, they are simply positioning her as a future candidate. She knows right now we need to hit the ground running and only someone who has been there before can do that
