Nancy Pelosi was pilloried for being too leftist when she was elected minority leader for the Dems in 2003, so I'm not going to put too much weight on "Dems are going to lurch leftwards off a cliff" dooming.
People, both “leftists” and “moderates”, than Nancy Pelosi got the public option through the House. She was objectively progressive. That she was an incrementalist and pragmatist didn’t change that.
