If you want change, get Chris Smalls, if you want incrementalism get AOC. Why would AOC call Nanci “moma bear”? Because she wants in on that club, and it cost her some time and humiliation, but she is in.
Believe it or not, but there was a time were Nancy Pelosi’s progressive promises, especially regarding healthcare, was a big part of her early career (1987–1997) and beyond:
*1987–1997: Early Career Focus
AIDS Funding & Advocacy: Pelosi made increased federal funding to combat AIDS a top priority, reflecting her district’s needs and her commitment to LGBTQ+ and public health issues
Medicaid Expansion: She worked to expand Medicaid for HIV/AIDS patients and accelerate research.
Incremental Reform: Her approach was pragmatic, focusing on targeted healthcare improvements.
*2000s: Shift Toward Broader Healthcare Reform
Affordable Care Act (2010): Pelosi played a pivotal role in passing the ACA, which expanded coverage.
She is the new Nancy Pelosi
Hardly. This is just a massive misinformation campaign aimed to disenfranchise Democrats and boost Republican turnout.
She’s never shown interest in running for President and most recently has said she has more work and can do more work in Congress.
There’s a reason why this post has been reposted like 5x in the last 24hrs and has gained so much debate. Because it’s made up ragebait.
Edit: if you need more proof just look at the latest push now about Warren from Axios.

And the new sheepdog to replace Bernie
She will probably be using the same phrase “Are you ready for a revolution?”

and this interview from 1997 she even talks supportingly about single payer. https://www.c-span.org/clip/news-conference/nancy-pelosi-on-single-payer-health-care/4682193
Nancy Pelosi, back in the day, was very much like todays AOC.
Four incremental healthcare reforms over a 38-year political career is not a meaningful comparison to AOC. That’s a real stretch, mydude.
