In a bid to annoy as many people as possible Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are unable to even to honor the memory of George Floyd appropriately and don't seem even remotely interested in delivering any form of change to the system that led to Floyd's death. Both Schumer and Pelosi had trouble giving Floyd the decency of even remembering his name, something that surely isn't as hard as it seems considering his name has been all over international news for the past month.  How can we trust the Democratic leadership to prioritize and fight for Black folks, when Schumer and Pelosi can’t even remember George Floyd’s name. It’s about damn time we replace them both. pic.twitter.com/yqsueJrG04 — People for Shahid (@People4Shahid) June 27, 2020 Schumer, in an address to congress, said "for the families of Floyd Taylor, uh, George Taylor".

With all the noise made about Nancy Pelosi being a resistance hero who is supposedly out maneuvering Donald Trump at every turn, it turns out that the Democratic Party leader isn't actually that well liked by Americans. The "Patron Saint of Shade", a nickname given to Pelosi by her most devoted followers, has an extremely loyal following within the Democratic Party, so much so that people like Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos embarrassingly hand delivered a thousand red roses to Nancy Pelosi's office.

With Pelosi, the numbers are even worse . Pelo...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has her critics, me included, due to her perceived ineptitude in leading the Democratic Party to electoral success and often receiving criticism for claiming that any negative attention she gets is somehow misogynist and sexist - sometimes it is - but it has become her go to excuse to avoid any real discussion about the future of the Democratic Party. One group decided to harass Pelosi at a campaign stop and laughably label her a communist, screaming "f**king communist" at her as she entered the building and took to banging on the door as security held them back. Remember, this is the exact same group of people who whine about the lack of civility in current political discourse. Mob rushes Nancy Pelosi on her way into a campaign stop calling her a "F**king communist!" Security had to hold back the anti-communism protesters as a frightened Pelosi was rushed into a doorway. Mob chanted "Communism sucks!" while...
