Um, she's right. The Democratic Party is not Marxist-Leninist. She's also completely right about Adam Smith who did not propose some social Darwinist Ayn Rand/Paul Ryan style system and openly called for things like universal health care and labor unions.

But she doesn't even make a gesture towards democratic socialism. And the fact she uses Adam Smith, who was a laissez-faire economist that are every Republican's wet dream, to justify her defense of neoliberalism is a slap in the face to any leftist in the Democratic Party.

She needs to retire, or else I want a primary challenge.

LOL. You realize her seat is effectively feudal, right?

Good. Hopefully the Dems never embrace socialism.

Enjoy capitalism while it still exists.

Capitalism is over. We're heading back to mercantilism for the benefit of the plutocrats.

Freudian slip, much? lol

Huh? I meant exactly what I typed. Pelosi was a loyal vassal of her predecessor and thus inherited her  seat. There will be no "primary challenge" anymore than Queen Elizabeth II faced one.
