Okay, why is Nancy Pelosi so utterly used as s ' Five.Minutes Of Hate " boo-boo doll/totem among some of the Republicans? I read of the number of Reps that invoked Nancy in their campaign ads - Election, not primary? :? - as " my opponent is a slave to Nancy...'" 8O...and quite a few Democrats in conservative-er districts ran and even won with promises to not vote for her a head Dem (Well, on the first ballot, anyway! :lol: ). She did win it, though.
it's like she's a matinee/Tuesday nights replacement for Hillary as someone for some old guy Reps to shake their fists and mumble at when she appears on TV! :P And she is actually in office, whereas Hillary isn't.
She is liberal and from an Francisco. She's not a Boomer age-wise !thus , and doesn't reallyl dress or present herself in a " 70s femnist " manner, coming off more " well-off older women " in her clothing - No pantsuits ever, if I can remember correcty. :mrgreen:
More later!

I am no longer a Republican (and not a Democrat either), so my input may not be relevant to the intent of the original topic. However, I dislike Nancy simply because she is anti-old cars. She wanted to pass legislation in California years ago that would prevent older cars from being driven on the roads due to air pollution rules. A lot of people in my area said “So what.”. The problem is that what gets passed there tends to migrate over into my area. I happen to enjoy old cars and laws like that would kill my hobby. I do realize that someday that the only way that I will be able to go to a car show will be inside a museum, but I would like to actually drive some of my cars before that happens. That is why I dislike her.

I've learned a new word: haterade.

I don't believe I've ever come across this term before.

they hate what they fear, she is smarter than they are. people tend to hate people who are smarter than they are. If she was a he they'd hate him even more for being a traitor to his gender instead of just a traitor to his class.

Actually, given your age, I kinda thought it would've been current slang in your school years! 8O " Haters ", abbreviated into " Hatas! " - bumper sticker ' I Love My Hatas ", guests on Jenny Jones or Ricki Lake yelling " Hatas! Hatas! " at the people in the studio booing them :lol:!
And, " Haterade " formed. I didn't make it up. I guess it'd rather " black/POC ' and hip-hop/" club kid " in derivation - like lotsa US slang.

...Trump.
And, I should say, the whole last ten years or so of politics :(. People thought things were bad for political argument during GW Bush's time! :twisted: The proverbial frog-boil soup has just been turned up, ever hotter and hotter! :roll:

trump is by no way eloquent but kinda intuitive . he is what free market capitalism exactly looks like.
hillary has a lot of ideas that range from trite to lousy and is uncharismatic and untrustworthy.
pelosi sounds like an old vinyl record.
warren is doomed to pocahontas.

kamala sometimes is camera nervous during interviews .. i dont know where i got the feeling from .
ocasio is kinda naive.. between ocasio and mccain id choose ocasio.

...Anti-Pelosites tend to announce " she's the extreme in ultra leftwing-ism ". Hello? :lol: She is hardly Karlita Marx! :P In her home district - which, ya know, I've spent years and years living in, and could still go back to :roll: - she is considered by lerty-er types as too much mainstream party kind, and too close to big developers/Biz 8).

Yeah, what is up with this forum? It cannot be a representative sample of the country or even English speaking nations. Something is very wrong.

^^^there seems to be an non-explicitly expressed desire for a strong man who is on their side, to smite their enemies who refuse to bow down to them. some people gotta have an alpha calling the shots.

even ifhillary was elected in 2016, she would probably suffer the fate of macron.. house/senate both easily reseized by gop in midterms and sanders/ocasio endlessly protest ..

and kamala already started to sound a bit like andrea nahles , I- .. dont know who else could court black voters ..
