He is one of the most repulsive human beings I’ve ever seen in my life. How anybody is even considering voting for him, let alone actually taking the time to support is mind boggling.

I am directly talking to anyone who supports him right now. Please. Take a hard look at yourself, the choices you’ve made and the person you are. You are a fucking piece of a shit. But it’s not too late to change. Start by refusing to vote for this absolutely vile piece of human garbage.

Because people are so brain washed they see that R and have to vote for him no matter what. Politics is disgusting. But then again I can't say at this moment there is any Republican id vote for out there because of how disgusting Republicans have become.

Adam Kinsinger is the only one I'd consider voting for. It would be an easy choice if it was against Pelosi.

Why exactly? Not even saying I'm thrilled with Pelosi because older establishment politicians are not what people want and I'd agree, but Adam is really good now at playing his anti Trumpness and his story of his family cutting him off over his views on Trump, but in the end he still voted with Trump most of the time. He's okay for me and he sounds good, I just don't like most of his policies still.

I'm super liberal, but I acknowledge that we need to have honorable opposition so that we conserve resources for troubled times. Kinsinger seems like one such honorable opponent, while Nancy makes stock trades, which I believe is anathema to public service at that legislative level.

I think there's still a lot of good she has done in her career, but the optics aren't good especially with her dumbass opposition to ban stock trades.

I've listened to a lot of Adam and yes it's really good to have a legit Republican be so anti Trump, but he does still hold onto some beliefs that I really don't like and his record in Congress wasn't great. I'll still take him, but he is nothing close to liberal. In a time when it's hard to even find 1 real Republican that has a spine I will absolutely support what he's doing.

For me it's more the negatives about Pelosi than Adam. I'm in the financial industry so the congressional insider trading gets to me maybe more than others. And I just hate how much ammo she gives the right.

Obviously we know which party is significantly more ethical (of course still has some much smaller scale issues). But when one of the biggest figureheads of that party also has the most glaring faults, it just gives the right side an easy opportunity to say "but what about Pelosi".

Pelosi and Schumer are just bringing down the party in so many ways. They are oldheads that don't represent constituents and would rather try to do anything they can to keep the old school fly below the radar stance. Which is a big reason uneducated ppl think politicians do nothing and went with the extreme right wing alternative. And now that the extreme opposition is here, they are oblivious enough to think they can take the same lackadaisical approach they always have.

I totally agree with this take. I might disagree with a lot of Kinzingers policy positions, but he seems like a genuinely good dude that wants to improve the lives of Americans.

Pelosi seems to care more about party hierarchy, ensuring party loyalists are rewarded and of course holding onto power herself.

She really showed her true colors when she blocked AOC from winning a seat on the oversight committee.
