Liberalism sources

[edit]

@M0rphD0g00: Here you entered the claim that Pelosi still widely is considered as a liberal, right before a source for another statement. However, that source does not support your claim. In fact, it rather seems to claim the opposite:

"For example, Pelosi, a co-founder of the CPC once on the liberal vanguard, is now far from one of the Democratic caucus’ most left-leaning members."

M0rphD0g00, I move your contribution to a position after that source. I suspect that you didn't read the source for a check of your statement, but rather have it from other sources. I leave the statement as it is, but I'll put in a template {{Citation needed}} after it. After you've found some reliable sources which support your claim, please add them after your statement, and remove the Citation needed template!

Citation needed is not necessary. It is a known fact and there are plenty of items on the page without citations. M0rphD0g00 (talk) 03:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is, and no it is not. That is an opinion, not a fact (and is thus wp:or. Slatersteven (talk) 11:28, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What does liberalism have to do with left-wing politics? Per the main article that is the umbrella term for anti-capitalist ideologies, including the "labour movement, socialism, anarchism, communism, Marxism and syndicalism". Dimadick (talk) 11:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dimadick: I just quoted the "reliable source" (in this case a Huffpost article). You'll have to ask the Huffpost editor (Daniel Marans) about why he connects "left-wing" and "liberal". Regards, JoergenB (talk) 14:01, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First off, one source is not "widely" it does not say she is regarded as a liberal it in fact seems to say the opposite (see wp:v. Slatersteven (talk) 14:07, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So in 2021 her net worth was 7.5 times what it was in 2018?

[edit]

Seems unlikely, but definitely worth mentioning if it's true. I doubt Warren buffet, or anybody else in the country, saw an increase like that in just three years. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:E060:3D08:890A:C1DF (talk) 21:26, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Only democrats want to restrict trading by members of Congress?

[edit]

"drew strong criticism, including from Democrats who favor banning stock trades by members of Congress".

No criticism from republicans who favor the same thing? Odd. 2604:3D09:D78:1000:E060:3D08:890A:C1DF (talk) 21:29, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ryan White CARE Act

[edit]

The source cited for her co-authorship of the Ryan White CARE Act of 1990 does not mention her status as an author. She is often cited an important proponent of the act but does not have proven authorship, at least on accessible sources. She is not listed a sponsor or cosponsor of S.2240, the bill that was passed, on congress.gov. She might be listed in the bill itself. 150.243.217.74 (talk) 03:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
