The fucked up thing is that people are still gonna vote for her. No one cares about corruption or acrually having good political leaders, they just need their team to win like it's some kind of stupid sport.

Blues and Greens...just like the Byzantines

Or they know how important it is that the Republicans not win.

It's not just about keeping score and keeping points for the red team. The blue team is currently fighting for white supremacy, christian supremacy, male supremacy, and to change the rules to make any other political party irrelevant.

If someone as wonderful as Mr. Rogers ran against Nancy Pelosi, but that person said he'd vote with his Republican colleagues on every important issue, his own personal qualities wouldn't matter. He personally might not lie, cheat or steal, but he'd be supporting a party that openly does all those things.

It sucks, but when it's a first-past-the-post system with 2 major parties, you mostly have to hold your nose and vote against the greater evil.

Because there is no corruption. Right wing conspiracy theories aren't fact

There's corruption. The whole system is corrupt and Pelosi is a whirlwind of corruption. Does not make right wing conspiracy theories any more correct, though.
