Both Schumer and Jeffries need to go. Jeffries went on TV not long ago and said he doesn't support dismantling ICE or passing Medicare for All.
For a quick, easy way to directly write to your congresspeople to tell them to oppose Schumer & Jeffries, you can sign these Resistbot petitions:
While definitely worth signing to cover all our bases, I just want to clarify that each Resistbot petition is sent directly to your specific elected representative/senators as a letter/email from you, their constituent :)
The reality: Democrats lost to Trump in 2012 and 2024.
What Schumer and Jeffries explicitly say they want: To go back to the way things were in 2024 (roll back all of Trump's policies).
Likely result of doing so: Democrats continue to lose to Republicans.
Obvious conclusion: Democrats need to push an actual policy that gives people am economic reason to vote for them and makes the donor class uncomfortable. "A Return to Normalcy" is a losing strategy.
Trump's incompetence has granted us a reprieve, but the next fascist we elect may be younger, smarter, more capable. We can not fuck this up.
If they mess up coming out of this midterm win, I will be astounded if they are able to take the presidency. Dems will never have another chance like this to really demonstrate a new vision. I hope they don't fumble it.
Honestly, it’s still up to us. It’s us, as constituents, that won the midterms.
We need to demonstrate the new vision. Our congressmen are there to represent what we want, they’re not there to come up with stuff we may want to see happen.
That means you have to write them and tell them exactly what you want to see. It’s not just about winning a vote, make sure they hear what you have to say.
The status quo is Schumer's specialty, he couldn't change even if he wanted to. Far from leading the Senate he should be warming the your ass is next to go in '28 bench.
Which option is more likely to get a Dem elected President in 2028?
A - A long, drawn out impeachment fight that leaves JD as President?
B- Hitting the ground fast and getting Medicare For All passed and signed by Trump?
I want a deal making arm-twister who can get things done. I want LBJ in charge of the Senate.
I think the issue with this plan is that most elected Dems don't support Medicare For All. DSA needs to primary and replace them first. It's doable but will take time. Something more realistic is needed for the next two years.
Even if Trump won't sign it, make him veto it, then the next president can sign it.
He’s embarrassing to a painful degree.
Both should be tried for the traitors they are
Save the jail talk for people who acted I Legally. For the corrupt, not just those whose policies we dislike
