“She never takes any responsibility," one House D member said of Pelosi. "We blew it. She made everyone walk the plank on qualified immunity, didn't cut a deal on Covid. Thank God for Biden or we would have gotten wiped out." Others defended Pelosi. Some want Bustos out at DCCC
Jayapal: "I think the sort of blame any progressive or make it seem as if that is why we lost those seats is missing the larger point: We need to find way to turn out our base.”
Dean Phillips: “The right is very experienced at creating narratives to generate fear, while left is experienced at being unable to allay those fears."
