“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader said on Fox News Sunday.
what a fucking moron. I want revenge you dumb bitch.
Jeff gotta go!
replace this milquetoast
Why does this dipshit think the gas is expensive all of a sudden
He should be asked directly why he hates children and wants to protect pedophiles.
New speaker of the house now!!! Schumer and Jeffries helped lead us into all this.
There is a petition with half a million signatures on Change.org if people want to sign. I know it probably won’t do much, but it might feel more cathartic than dooming on Lemmy. https://www.change.org/p/house-democrats-choose-a-new-speaker
Or better yet, call your representatives and tell them you will primary them in the next cycle if they vote for Schumer or Jeffries for Majority Speakers.
Thank you! This is much better than yelling into the Lemmy void!
If people don’t like the idea of Jeffries, there is a petition with half a million signatures on Change.org if people want to sign. I know it probably won’t do much, but it might feel more cathartic than dooming on Lemmy. https://www.change.org/p/house-democrats-choose-a-new-speaker

Or call, don’t email, don’t write, call your newly elected representative you voted for and ask them to stand up for new leadership. That’s a fuck ton better than signing some internet petition that no one gives two shits about and better than bitching on social media that no one really gives two shits about.
True. I probably should have added that, although there won’t be good contact avenues for a lot of them until January. It’s something I do semi regularly and forget it’s not common practice for everybody else.
Although I think even more effective would be calling your representatives who aren’t newly elected and tell them you will primary them in the next cycle if they support Jeffries and Schumer for majority speaker positions.
Yup, however I think giving them a ultimatum about primarying them is going to fall short man.
The person on the phone isn’t going to be representative, just a lowest paid staffer there who’s heard threats all day every day from Republicans and I doubt they’ll take you or anyone of us seriously when you say you’re going to primary them unless you actually show them your official registration form and FEC registration. Just be respectful and voice your honest opinion that the leadership sucks and you want them to replaced.
It certainly depends on who you are. If you leave your contact info and they look into it and your registered under the party they will take your threat more seriously. If a couple dozen Dems call after that saying the same thing, they will take your call MUCH more seriously.
Liberalism <—> Fascism.
Get ready for a whole lot of nothing (at best) from these creeps.
I don’t like Jeffries but, he’s not wrong on it being a waist of time. The vast majority of Americans want him out, but it’s probably not feasible even with the big win.
Like, realistically, the vote would be down party lines, and the dems need more than a simple majority. Maybe some republicans would be willing to jump the isle given how unpopular he’s become, but, it’s be a bad idea to go ahead with it unless they had some firm behind closed doors commitments.
Like another failed attempt at removal would symbolic nonsense at best, embarrassing at worst.
Outsider here, why is this dude hated by the left? Never heard of him before yesterday.
He’s very inactive about supporting grass roots policies but routinely pursues corporate preferred policy.
He’s not actually all that bad, but he’s also… just not a very competent.
Did you see the headline?
Jeffries is going to purposefully rehash his Biden years, just like his Israeli paymasters want.
Wimp
Sure. If vermin are crapping in the grain bin you go in and do what’s necessary to clean it up but also patch the holes where the rats get in and exterminate them.
Why would he want to hold his employer accountable?
Hakeem, it’s called multitasking, like when you take AIPAC and corporate money at the same time. Do both you fuckwad.
