‘This is not a day at the beach’: Pelosi tells moderate Dems to stop voting with GOP

House Democrats held an emotional debate behind closed doors Thursday over how to stop losing embarrassing procedural battles with Republicans — a clash that exposed the divide between moderates and progressives.

And Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the superstar New York freshman Democrat, suggested she would alert progressive activists when Democrats are voting with the GOP on these motions, said the sources. Democratic leaders have vowed to do a better job preparing for the Republican motions, but the controversy has divided Pelosi and her longtime lieutenants, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn .

1/ H/t FTN for recommending this piece. Tactically, this is risky. Many of the seats Dems won in the midterms were purple districts, who voted for ModDems because they shared many GOP interests. When these ModDems defect to join GOP proposals, it keeps these districts in the DP.

It’s one thing to win a congressional district with a D+29 historical performance. It’s another to win a district that has a R+6 (Spanberger in VA) or R+10 (Horn in OK) historical performance. Without new House Dem moderates the Republicans control the entire Congress again.

Pelosi is saying that if you vote with her she will direct DCCC resources your way. How is this not a bribe? She’s making an explicit quid pro quo offer. Looking at you, fec, TheJusticeDept

what are their overall voting records?

😂 its a clown with her party

So when we tell you that 'a vote for X is a vote for Pelosi'. That's what we mean. They 100% control that party down to individual votes. You arent supposed to have an individual voice in the Democrat party.

Discussing, or even debating an issue is not automatically a divide, chasm or clash.

So Pelosi and dems okay with illegals with guns . TRAITORS

Nancy needs to take her tired old self home.

Centrists spent the almost 2 months between the midterm and her taking up the gavel as Speaker, running everyone down shouting from the rooftops what a great progressive firebrand Pelosi is ( anyone who knows anything about her record knows those claims are laughable)

Is she a dictator? Will they get detention or corporal Punishment?

Does Politico have advice and aid to render?

She is right! Need to get the work done in solidarity! Got a long way to go! You guys just started. Be cool. Try to compromise, figure out what issues out weigh others, work!

Poor Nancy. She had these same problems back in 2010 before she lost the gavel. She trying to bully the blue dog dems once again. Does she not learn what happened last time

ITS NOT YOUR PLACE OR RIGHT TO TELL OTHER DEMOCRATS IN THE PARTY WHAT THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT DO MISS PELOSI!!!!

Democrats are one big messy family. We can fight amongst ourselves but when it matters (2020) we'll come together to clean out the Senate, and the White House.

Democrats are acting like all they want is to have a one party rule. It's either their way or the highway. Refusing to work across the party lines. Their ideas and beliefs have no middle ground.

Meanwhile...😋

At the rate that Democrats are going and talking they will push Independents like me into the hands of Republican party. They have gone so much to the left that there's no return for them.

Proof the Democratic party has become the Republican party.

Listen to Speaker Pelosi people! She knows what she’s doing.

Stick together idiots!

Democrats are acting like Socialist Dictators and they call Republicans having a Mob Mentality.

Democrats have lost their identity. And gained Socialism and Open borders and Socialist Dictator AOC They need to decide whether they want to win battles or win the war.

Informative article. Dem leaders need to use a carrot approach and not beating with a stick.

If the president can do things differently and the GOP is cheering that on, why can’t the Congress?

but it could be. You guys should take another trip to Puerto Rico take AOC, Tlaib, and Omar with you and all commit to no more air travel when you get there. In other words just stay there.

SpeakerPelosi Listen to Elizabeth Holtzman. YOU should not be ignoring her experience!

Dems need to move the line away from the socialist moniker. Thatbline will kill them in 2020. This country will never be and shouldn’t be socialist. They need to shut those voices down and move to the center if they want to win in 2020.

She has no right to tell anyone how to Vote and who or what to vote for!

There is no longer a market for right-wing Democrats. Sorry, Nancy.

Me watching Dem infighting as they make Trump look good

We’ve noticed. Thanks.

'Moderates' are right-wing Democrats who pretend to challenge GOP but give them everything they want. Progressives actually fight GOP/fascism

The old 'New' Democrats need to yield to the future. They don't have the support they need to win.

We're good.

House Democrats to introduce bill that would block national emergency FridayMany Republicans have said they were uncomfortable with the president declaring a national emergency to get funding for a wall along the southern border, but it's unclear whether they would vote for such an effort. They are right, better is to invest money in betterment of nation with love and respect rather than war, walls with neighborhood. Just let everyone in eventually they will kill someone who has some sort of importance and that will change. Who wants to be proactive everyone rather be reactive that tell themselves it doesnt exist and until someone close to democrats die it’s gonna be this way Its sad but true But not uncomfortable enough to do their jobs.
