“Where’s Nancy? Where’s Nancy?”
In the leftist San Francisco area, Nancy is viewed as a rich white woman leading the effort to maintain the economic supremacy of the elite.
Statements of her last primary challenger, Shahid Buttar:
“In 2020, we won more votes to replace Nancy Pelosi than any challenge she has faced since going to Congress in 1987. We overcame a global pandemic, a corporate media whiteout, a 15:1 fundraising deficit, and an attempted character assassination by Democratic Party operatives wielding disinformation and amplifying racist & Islamophobic dogwhistles.
“The 81,000 votes we won were not enough to liberate Pelosi’s seat—but our momentum helped move half a dozen policies through the House over Pelosi’s initial objections, by forcing changes in her positions on issues from worker rights to civil rights, funding the U.S. Postal Service, and impeaching Trump.
“The climate crisis, emergent authoritarianism, and white supremacy are all the results of indefensible policy choices by a Congress composed of insider trading, self-serving millionaires. The class war they have waged on working families across the United States—and on people in other countries around the world—demands long overdue accountability.”
