Hard to imagine the dem establishment letting this happen but it’s nice to read news like this for a change. Progress ebbs and flows and the last few days the conversations seem so much more healthy for us all.
If do than Americans need to take the gloves off, dox their asses and protest at every place they seek rest/peace until they resign.
It’s hard to imagine in normal condition but if we put pressure on them, contact our senators and representative we might be able to achieve that. I already contacted mine, please contact yours.
This is so Democrats don’t vote for them to lead the party. They are not fit for current landscape and are not what people want. Even ignoring their “centrist” positions, they aren’t even skilled for those positions. They showed us this past 2 years. I forgot the name but I think he was assistant to Jeffries, he was so much better at speaking.
Edit: looking up, maybe it was Joe Neguse
Edit2: yeah that was him: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/84taa_D99sQ so much better speaker than Jeffries
When Dems are in power, we have the luxury of pushing back against the establishment wing of the party. When the GOP is in power, we need to focus our energy of getting them out, even if that means working with less-than-ideal Dems until we can shift focus back to our internal disagreements.
This is why it isn’t helpful to be defeatist about both-sidesism during general elections. We all know the Democratic Party isn’t perfect. But little by little, we can shift the overton window to the left.
That’s all I have to say about it. Obviously that part is behind us for now. Looking ahead, it’ll finally be time to roll our sleeves up and get to work on the issues that matter.
I would definitely like to see Van Hollen replace Schumer. AOC for Speaker but can she do that and run a presidential campaign? The country would be able to see her executive experience at display. I just don’t know there are enough progressive supporters in both the Senate and House for this to become a reality.
There are plenty of pissed off liberals that want to give Jeffries the boot just based on his stated opposition to holding Trump accountable. I don’t know about Schumer, but there’s absolutely no way that Jeffries remains the House Leader with him so misaligned to basically every priority of every wing of the party.
- him scheming with Kushner. Fuckin’ traitor
I’d like for AOC to primary Schumer, personally. She isn’t ready for President yet.
They need to be removed any way they possibly can.
They’re compromised AIPAC dems.
Dems need to understand if they cause a red wave next election they will ALL be on the chopping block. Hiding from flock cameras and the American gestapo
Everyone in leadership is an compromised by AIPAC, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and so on.
- Israel was formed by USA and is doing its job well (that job being dominate the Middle East) so that’s a no-brainer, it’s a symbiotic relationship, they’re like our 51st state.
- Corporations are in firm and undeniable control of all US leadership, as is to be expected when “corporations are people” and “dollars are free speech”. There’s no other possible result.
Driving them out into the street and horse whipping them would be my preference, but we can start with replacing them.
Calls for Representative Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Chuck Schumer to step down from their leadership positions are growing as the dust from Tuesday’s midterm election settles. The calls—coming from inside and outside of Congress—cite a lack of vision, an unwillingness to go after Trump, the continued acceptance of corporate PAC money, and an extreme deference to the Israeli government.
There are lots of questions circulating about Schumer’s future in Senate leadership. Minnesota Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan declared on election night that it’s “time for new leadership” in the Senate.
There should be a law that replaces/kicks out a politician automatically if they sit in the same spot for more than two years yapping about the same things, but does none of them. I guess we would be without a government then.
That’s literally what primaries are for. But only 10% of americans vote in those.
And only half the people bothered to show up this week.
I noticed the same in my county, in Pennsylvania.
I mean an actual written law, not just elections. I get what the primaries are for, but we can’t force people to vote, but a law will make them do work. Because otherwise they’re out of a job.
but we can’t force people to vote,
We totally could, compulsory voting works i Australia.
Because otherwise they’re out of a job.
Ya that’s why they’ll never write such a law.
I misread this as something about both of them exploding. I’m disappointed.
