In reply to the discussion: 'Do not tweet': Pelosi scolds progressives in closed-door meeting [View all]Locrian
(4,522 posts)36. again, pelosi shows she is completely out of touch...
Great example of dinosaurs not knowing where or how the battle is now being fought.
They fundamentally do not get that they cannot control all the channels of communication, that there are new ways to communicate and win vs the centralized power "authority" of old. That these ways are just if not more important than "strongly worded letters", etc.
Did they learn nothing from trump in terms of how the dynamics have changed? That there are multiple battlefronts and things move at 200x faster speeds? Stunning....
And no, this is not about "staying on message" etc, and especially about "winning". It's about power and control.

That would be fine if she wasn't using criticism of the moderates to deflect blame

It's bizarre behavior to call out a collegaue on Twitter that could be addressed face to face...

Sounds like Nancy wants to control the political dialogue within the Party. I'm 50/50 on this.

If tweets bother Nancy so much, then why not impeach the twitterer-in-Chief?
