Pelosi bashes No Labels as “perilous to our democracy” and threat to Biden
House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi on Thursday eviscerated the centrist group No Labels and its attempt to mount a third-party presidential bid.
“I think that No Labels is perilous to our democracy. I say that completely without any hesitation,” she said. “This is about an illusion being created, that it’s about non-partisanship and bringing people together.”
Pelosi made the statements at a breakfast with reporters hosted by Third Way, a centrist Democratic group that argues No Labels’ third-party effort will lead to another Donald Trump presidency.
“When they jeopardize the reelection of Joe Biden as president of the United States, I can no longer remain silent on them,” Pelosi said.
Got that? Citizens running for election that could harm Democrats is bad for Democracy. Seriously, isn’t that the whole point of Democracy (I’m speaking of everything in the Democractic Model, per Politics 101, which would include Constitutional Republics), people voting for different viewpoints, which would include parties? We might be better off with a bunch of different parties. Oh, and moving most governmental power back to the states and the People where it belongs.
You know what is perilous? People getting elected and staying in office for decades, treating it as a job.
