I’m a big Nancy Pelosi fan, exactly BECAUSE she’s so effective. I posted an article comparing her to Paul Ryan a few months ago, and now this:
«Why so much discontent with a woman who has proved so good at her job? Maybe because many Democrats think Pelosi’s unpopularity undermines their chances of winning back the House. Why is she so unpopular? Because powerful women politicians usually are.»
And this:
«On the surface, Trump’s “Pocahontas” slur may appear as unrelated to gender as Clinton’s emails did. But the moral outrage that female ambition provokes takes many forms.»
And a lot more, scribbled on with my magic highlighter.
