I tend to agree. Alas, at the level we're talking about, one doesn't step aside, one is pushed aside. Someone younger has to make a go at it.
If that someone is not at least as progressive as Pelosi, and as committed to what some consider old-fashioned liberalism as she, then it's no use to replace her. She would be replaced with someone younger with older ideas. Like that other Ryan who wanted the job. We didn't need two Ryans anyway.
When she was given a chance, for a couple of years, she got a lot of good things passed. Too bad they were blocked or eviscerated by the Silent-dominated DINOs in the Senate-- like that creep Lieberman whom Trump almost hired because his law partner was Trump's lawyer.
