Nancy Pelosi just nailed it

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi now says the Democrats “will win” the midterms if we all put in the work required to win. She’s considered one of the great political strategists of this era – and she clearly doesn’t believe that defeatism helps things.

Each time the media decides to chase ratings by trotting out its usual “Democrats are doomed in the midterms” or “Democrats in disarray” narratives, and I call out the media for the inaccuracy of these narratives, even some folks on our side try to shush me. They insist that the media is somehow doing us a favor by pretending we’re going to lose, because this is somehow going to cause us to… win?

It makes no sense at all, of course. And now no less than Nancy Pelosi is reminding us that you win by talking about how you’re going to win, not by talking about how you’re going to lose. First you decide that you want to win, then you decide that you’re going to win, then you put in the work required to win, and then there’s a good chance you’ll win. These “we’re gonna lose no matter what” narratives are just an excuse to lazily not have to put in the work required to win.
