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.
I think we both moved naturally in this direction, didn’t accuse them of “changing the topic.”
I think it’s important to mention Pelosi never traded any stocks. Her sin was marrying a stock broker and having joint assets starting in college and refusing to ban that very act from congress. Many times this resulted in going against her husbands and her own interests, such as when she voted to regulate VISA despite them selling Paul a lucrative stock option, or the years where they actually operated at a net loss.
Now, if you were to complain about something else like her general disposition towards Republicans from the moment she was sworn: her awful nonpartisan confirmation speech, or her often crossing of the aisle into red territory, then you would be making fair criticisms. Instead everybody sits here and pretends that theres ome huge financial scheme going on with no evidence at all of corruption.
A New York Post analysis revealed that before first taking office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio — worth $133.7 million today, according to the latest estimates from Quiver Quantitative (2).
That means that Nancy Pelosi made a 16,930%, blasting past 2,300% for the Dow Jones over the same period of 37 years.
She didn’t do that well without inside information about laws that would affect the stock market. A simple google search would have provided the figures, and logical reasoning would lead most to that conclusion. Stop with your bad faith bullshit.
Because Republican voters ignore all the Republican politicians that do it, and Democratic voters are also sick of her actively blocking the attempts to make it illegal while she was speaker. Multiple times
George Soros made a billion dollars in a day. Melvin Capital lost billions and shuttered. Things like this happen to brokers.
I think stock trading should be banned for politicians, but I think its sill to ban Nancy Pelosi for having married one. She was never going to vote for that and I can’t blame her.
He is blindly loyal to every NeoLiberal, so they have no corruption. It’s like how Trump can’t be corrupt when MAGA brainwashed them into loyal cult members.
Any crimes they did is good, anyone who says otherwise is anti American.
She created the “Select Committee on Energy Independence & Global Warming” which lasted from 2007 until Republicans dismantled it after gaining majority in 2010
She toured Asia and showed support for Taiwan and Tibet in opposition of China
After VISA offered her husband, a lifelong stock broker, a very lucrative stock option she voted against their interests anyways
OK, let’s start with the first one. The one that was written by the Heritage Foundation, the makers of Project 2025, that increased the stock price of every major health insurance company, and killed any chance for a universal health care plan. The one that left 30mil Americans uninsured, and another 90mil Americans under-insured. That one?
The version of the bill that passed the house was based on Stanford professor Alain Enthoven’s proposal in 1978 to use the federal employee benefits program as a model for a national health care program. Here is the Heritage Foundation dismissing that conspiracy theory.
The ACA increased healthcare coverage by tens of millions of Americans andade it illegal to discriminate based on preexisting conditions.
And if not for Independent Joe Lieberman and Every Single Republican, it would have instead been passed as public option and function virtually the same way as Germany’s healthcare system.
Can I ask what your main issue is with Christine?
Political dynasties are bad. Becomes a defacto aristocracy.
That is a good and fair criticism, and I hope someday we might move to ban it.

Well now we’ve moved on to another topic, the claim of blatant corruption of Nancy Pelosi, can you cite an example of that?
They didn’t change topic, you just didn’t like the answer they gave.

Because FOX news told you so.
Who the fuck watches Fox News besides boomers?
Well let me enlighten you, the anti-pelosi posts and comments sound 100% exactly like those fucks at Fox News.
As we all know, she’s perfect and never did anything wrong.
And I don’t even have cable, let alone a subscription to the fascist drivel of Fox News. The bastard who invented it should be hanged.

I hate her too but she is by far not the only one. Why everyone focuses on her for stock trading is beyond me.
Because Republican voters ignore all the Republican politicians that do it, and Democratic voters are also sick of her actively blocking the attempts to make it illegal while she was speaker. Multiple times

Seriously? Can you come up with a single example of something she accomplished that wasn’t because of corporate interest?
