Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm in her district. This has given me a possibly-crazy idea. What if I registered to run against her? Hear me out.
I don't think that I could win. She's been in the game for so long, I have no illusions. But, registering and announcing a campaign to challenge her might result in some national publication contacting me for a quote. I might be able to get a line in said publication and get people talking about it.
"Nancy Pelosi should get out of the way of younger generations and let those who came after her have a seat at the table."
I'd appreciate feedback on the value of doing something like this. Also, the likelihood that it would have the desired outcome. Also, thoughts on how this might be done.
I've been kicking this idea around since this morning when I first saw this. I'm increasingly thinking that it sounds like a good idea. Thoughts?
I think the local DNC would have to "allow" it. Otherwise you'd run as something-other-than-Democratic.
But all it would cost you is time, and maybe a small filling fee to find out.
I say, go for it! It would at least shake up the geriatric incumbents a bit.
The local DNC could potentially work against you but they can't stop you from running in the primary as long as you meet the requirements.
Awesome, that's good to know! I just assumed they picked if there would be competition due to how some Republicans threatened to "primary" incumbents that didn't fall in line.
Do it! As one of the most notable Democrats alive it'd be a near impossible task to unseat her, but maybe you get 20% of the vote and that's not a terrible result. After that maybe someone more notable like a Mayor or state rep would run and maybe win. Shoot your shot!
have you heard of Shahid Buttar
Apparently, I had. The first two links on a search had already been visited. That's discouraging. Thanks!
Don't stop with her. Make your platform about Glitch McConnell, Dianne "The Wraith" Feinstein, Chuck "Touch" Grassley, and every other member of Congress who can't even claim to be a boomer because they were born before the end of WW2. Their generation built the America we have now; how's it working out for y'all?
Here's what you do, announce that you're running, say your peace, and when you're surfing that publicity wave, announce that you're running for governor of California. No flaw!
I wish you would. Get your friends to do it too... "Nancy Pelosi Faces a Dozen Primary Challengers" might draw some more attention.
Do it!
