Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

All I know is Jeffries and Schumer ain't it, until the Dems replace them everything is still in jeopardy.
Jeffries is literally buddies with Kushner, a leading AIPAC donation taker, and also beholden to weird Nazi tech bro Peter Thiel, throw the whole dude away.
I did a google search. Then followed it up with Kagi until I ran out of scroll.
Every headline minus a couple fringe items, repeats that Jeffries will be the next speaker.
Almost all of them.
We are so fucked.
Maybe it's time for the Democrats to go through the equivalent of whatever internal civil war process put Mike Johnson in the chair.
They would sooner exile every progressive than let that happen, just look at the lack of alarm bells when one of the progressives is being unlawfully investigated for deportation.
Not saying that is not a foregone conclusion but your method is flawed here.
Every search and headline today would be parroting what he said yesterday. There literally has not been any time for anyone to say differently in public (even if asked, most would not voice an opinion on election day)
If I search today, like you did, looking for the orange pedophile's response to the midterm election, it would seem he will respect it and allow the transfer of power... however, he may change his syphilitic mind and throw another insurrection tomorrow
There has been time. There’s one UK opinion piece on infighting between Dems.
There’s one Indian news site that brought up the change.org petition to not have Jeffries.
There’s an ex Bernie campaigner site that has a “Progress stops with Jeffries” headline.
That’s it. But if they’ve had time, everyone has had time. They’re choosing to rally behind Jeffries. But that’s corporate media working their damnedest after the fact, because he’s their dam on the tsunami. So, full headline support.
Change.org is typically a point of interest. Note how the 450k signatures overnight are ignored by American media.
You mean the 3 examples you found from people either not in the USA at all or one standalone campaigner? yes, how is it that the people running for a historic election are not already working and posting publicly about this specific thing?!
The petition has 49K not 450K; but I think it's typical to be ignored because I can sign it and I am Canadian... there is almost no legitimacy to these online petitions
PS: turns out there are, at least 2, petitions against Jeffries.
The one you point out with 450K signatures is 2 months old (so not overnight)
The one I found, is from yesterday, and has 49K so far
May I suggest that, if you are posting some backing evidence, post directly to it, not to an open repository

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 posting 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.
