That happened because Pelosi had the backing of the DNC and elected Dems knew the neoliberals wouldn’t hesitate to torpedo an incumbent that went against them even if it meant a Republican got the seat.
She doesn’t have that anymore, and all her threats are toothless. For her whole career she’s never been effective at convincing people to see a different viewpoint to change a vote, she’s just threatened her own party members.
With the “victory fund” they had financial control over a lot of states too, they could shut the tap off to your whole state, or making funds dependent on your state hanging you specifically out to dry.
Like, I think people dont appreciate how much got fixed in the last couple months, because they don’t understand how bad shit really was
