That Nancy Pelosi re-election video is creepy as fuck.
You're 81, stand aside.
You haven't done what you were elected to do, stand aside.
Oh that's right, $$$$$.
I haven't seen the video, and maybe it is time for her to step down and let the next generation take over, but I disagree that she hasn't done what she was elected to do. For most of her career she was the "far left" (in the media), and she didn't shy away from it. Speaker of the house is a powerful position, but like any other in America, its power is limited. I believe she is the top fundraiser in the party, so obviously she has ties to special interests, but what politician doesn't? (Bernie aside ) Pelosi is on record about it and clearly hates this aspect of the job. She's kept the Dems in order when she's been in charge, gotten big things done (like the Affordable Care Act). Got a big voting rights bill passed in the house last year... She may be a bit old and out of touch now, but she's one of the few politicians in my adulthood that I respect.

Poor Googling skills aside, my point stands.
The only people that advocate all masks, all the time, no exceptions, are the strawmen created by Republicans. Even the strawmen make mistakes so that Republicans can call them hypocrites.

I’m not posting this as a Republican. I’m posting a picture of a room full of dozens of people all wearing masks except for one person. That person also happens to be outspoken about rules that compel people to wear masks.

B. Stop it.
I just don't see your point. Politicians are hypocrites? Yeah,no shit.
Her not wearing a mask doesn't change whether or not you should wear one or the circumstances in which it's appropriate.
I just don't see the point in these types of gotchas that you seem to love so much.
