Pelosi supports valued incumbent colleagues. This year it is AOC. 2 years ago it was not.
Pelosi does not speak for the entire DNC, but she is a member of the leadership by virtue of her Speaker position. If she’s not who you were thinking of when you wrote “the party opposing progressive candidates”, maybe you can elaborate?
In fact, throughout this thread you often refer to some vaguely-specified group – the party, or “Democrats”, or “the DNC” – which has power and agency and is engaged in bad behavior, like duping people into voting against their interests. Maybe you can specify who exactly you mean: the DNC leadership? Party members (around 46 million of us)? The Gamesters of Triskelion?
