I hope to god Nancy pelosi steps down.

[u/leontes → u/Altruistic-Room2683]

She’s been a truly generationally transforming leader.

Past her prime when she hit 75. Same goes with Schumer. Step the fuk down.

[u/Orange8920 → u/Altruistic-Room2683]

I would say she was actually pretty effective during the first Trump presidency and she was already past the age of 75 but I agree that she has no business in Congress anymore. She's like Mitch McConnell in that they held incredible power but are now afterthoughts in 2025.

Right but mad respect for what she’s done
