Pelosi is on very shaky ground . A lot of people think her time has passed.
The problem for Sandy Cortez is that non-white Dems fueled by class envy and racial hatred don’t donate. As long as wealthy white libs dominate the Dem Party, these otherized dregs are beholden to them. They face re-election every two years, and it would be easy for Pelosi (or whichever wealthy white lib replaces her at the head of the party House delegation) to simply fund a primary challenger against them. In the case of Cortez, it doesn’t mean necessarily endorsing the old white male Dem she beat in the last primary - it can be another hateful Latina who is simply willing to follow orders. They really are a dime a dozen in NYC.
