That's my guy!
I hope everyone else is as willing to fight this as I am. Contact your reps every day to demand they vote differently. This wave is only possible because of socialists.
EVERYBODY needs to look up their representatives and call or email
I did this week, I can handle doing it again next week
Fucking shit up already, I'm going to like this guy.
I really like him, I think he has a bright future in politics and I hope he becomes the first Muslim president.
But we already had Obama /s
How to get republicans claiming Michigan was actually part of Canada all along
Great. Now we need someone spearheading an anti-Jeffries campaign.
Jeffries has never been Speaker of the House. Schumer has a long record as the Democratic leader in the Senate, and it's not a good one. If he's allowed to continue in that job then that seriously kneecaps any ability that the Democrats have to convince Americans that they can bring change. If they want to increase their gains in the Senate and establish a buffer against the inevitable Republican resurgence in the 2030s then it's critical that they show Schumer the door.
I wouldn't object to ousting Jeffries, too, but if he's given a couple of years during a lame-duck Congress to fail properly it wouldn't be a catastrophe. The focus needs to be on Schumer.
We don’t have time for any bullshit, which is exactly what the Jeffries campaign is.
It sounds like the DNC is focused on leaving Trump where he is, likely because they somehow think Vance being in office will make him more appealing in the upcoming 2028 election. Hence this first Jeffries statement that feels like he’s talking sideways at the American people while communicating support for something else entirely.
Even so. We need someone non-establishment DNC. We The People don’t have time for any more shit. Life is barely possible as is.
I wouldn't object to ousting Jeffries, too, but if he's given a couple of years during a lame-duck Congress to fail properly it wouldn't be a catastrophe.
It absolutely would be. This is going to be a lame duck Congress, but there are things the Democrats can do and they absolutely need to be doing them if they want to maintain even a fraction of this momentum come 2028. Jeffries would slow down whatever progress can be made (particularly on the accountability front) and tank Congress's credibility with the electorate.
Exactly. Jeffries loses us all 2028 to whatever shit the GOP dreams up next. In other words, same old shit, different year, this vote essentially means nothing.
I really hope that the establishment at least gets knocked out of leadership. We don’t want reforms; we want fundamental change. I feel honored about who I was able to vote for, and the fact that they ALL won their races. No more strongly worded letters! 😡

Hell yeah Van Halen, oh wait.
This guy's record is really good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Van_Hollen#Political_positions
Yeah, Van Hollen is awesome.
Indeed, hybrids with Indonesian and Dutch parents. They were treated horribly in the Netherlands and immigrated to the USA, the rest is history.
lol I know what you mean but it's impolite to use “hybrid” when referring to people, even if it’s typically a compliment from a botanical perspective
Like saying mixed is any better
Non extremist dutch are the exception in the US unfortunately.
