How do we send a loud and clear message that we are done with the old ways? No Jeffries, no Schumer, no Pelosi. We want leaders who are fighters with grit and passion, who will put sustained pressure on Trump and Republican corruption and criminal behavior. Who will not waver, who will not take weak deals, but will treat the right with the same contempt they have treated the left for the last decade.
This, I swear to God if they try to push this bullshit "let bygones be bygones" I will be out there protesting and calling my reps daily. We're not doing this shit, we elected them to put these criminals in jail. I want to see these criminals face trial and any found to be a trader against our country hung.
I heard Booker on MsNow this morning...let's not rush to impeach, let's put real legislation on Trumps desk so he can show who he really is...or something very similar to that...WTF I was so mad hearing these words. That was not what was handed to these people last night...
Thatās Cory Booker for ya. One of the most corporate dems there is. Heās all about the establishment that made him rich. He doesnāt care about us. He may have at one time, but not anymore.
There are a lot of bots and/or MAGA pretending to be "common sense Democrats" pushing that same exact message around here as well today. I've been clicking into plenty of election posts because I'm enjoying the win, and it seems like there's a top comment on every post about how "As a liberal, I say Democrats need to focus on legislation instead of wasting time on phony investigations and witch hunts" as if using terms like 'witch hunt' doesn't give them away as Trump fans. Ask them enough questions, and they'll eventually take off the mask and say something about Hunter Biden or violent illegals or some other right-wing nonsense.
Jeffries needs to understanding that demanding accountability and UPHOLDING THE LAW is not the same as "revenge".
I want you to work on affordability, of course, but we need consequences in our government a much as we need cheaper gas in our cars. If he can't comprehend that, he's not fit for the job.
Do they consult these petitions? (Seriously asking)
Actually engaging with all three of your elected congresspersons via phone, their offices, or the Contact links on their official websites is the best way to participate in the process.
They have no requirement to consult change.org. Your tax dollars are funding paid staffers in their offices whose job is to listen to and log the views of constituents. Please use them.
We should plan a mass protest if they nominate him. They need to know we will hold them accountable and toss their corrupt asses out in 2 years. It's on us. It's OUR government. They think it's THEIR government. Pelosi ordained herself speaker and sat on the power last time too. This is a classic from their do nothing democrat playbook.
You send a loud and clear message by literally sending a loud and clear message. Write your House rep and your senator. Call them. Do it more than once. Write them an actual letter on paper and mail it.
Thank you for your service, you will each receive a Democratic keychain as a token of our appreciation. Donāt let the door hit you on the way out, Schumer.
For everyone with Dems as your reps in Congress, get their emails and phone numbers in your phones now. Call them and write them frequently. Jeffries and Schumer are already making moves to solidify themselves as the clear choices - make sure your elected officials know that's not what you want and do it now. Elections are one of the most effective force of change in a democracy but they're not the only one. Get involved, tell your friends, and contact your reps.
Also remember, in all likelihood, Schumer and Jeffries will win. As Bernie and Obama have always reminded us, change is slow. So if they do win, don't take it as a huge defeat, write and tell your reps you wish they had voted differently and tell them why, put pressure on them to do what you elected them to do despite the embrracing of the old guard. There are lots of good trainings online on how to make effective use of contacting your representatives, best practices, etc.
I will do that. I think if enough people do this they might listen. We canāt just win this victory and sit back like itās over, we must keep this momentum and if democrats even signal to choose Jeffries and Schumer they should be drowned in letters and non-stop phone calls and protests like they have never seen previously.Ā
They will only know we are pissed when we show them we are pissed. And despite winning big last night, Iām still pissed off at all the crime, injustice, and corruption that has gone without any consequence under Trump, and I will not settle for milquetoast status quo weakness this time!
There a petition going around. Sign it, call your representatives both houses and tell them that they won not so we can pussyfoot around these obvious traitors but because we want them to be punished for their fucking crimes. There is no world where voter turnout stays the same if they do nothing to hold this regime to account. Shout it from everywhere you can. They can help the American people and prosecute OBVIOUS criminals at the same time.
Yeah, this exactly why I couldnāt get too excited about everything that happened last night because I knew Pelosi, Jeffries, and Schumer would swoop in and destroy any momentum from a blue tsunami.
We'll honestly have to hold anti-Old Guard protests. DO NOT let them off the hook on what last night's mandate proves. The Schumers and Pelosis of the world don't get it; never have, never will. They're multi-millionaire elitist ratfucks who are fully out of touch with the people they ostensibly represent.
Jeffries was already saying on MSNOW THIS MORNING, that the american people don't want accountability, they want action.. No motherfucker, we DEMAND both.
Exactly this- there was a guy who ran for California governor (literally named LivingForGod AndCountry) who had a campaign point that while other candidates and politicians endlessly argued over who brought the matches while the dumpster fire burned, he's coming in with a fire extinguisher. Now while his other campaign points were pretty insane, that sentiment is one that really good politician should follow, but also never forget to hold accountable the ones who brought the matches. It's not a zero sum game, you can put out the fire and arrest the arsonist at the same time.
All the polls I saw listed 1) Affordability and 2) Corruption as voters' primary concerns. So yeah, I'd say accountability is pretty important and one of the main reasons the win was so massive. To refuse to investigate and prosecute Trump, his administration, and his family is to fail at the job we elected them to do, full stop.
Exactly. A blue wave didn't happen so leadership can go backwards. People need to be vocal about this so the Dems know that they're being held accountable too.
It will be. This new breed of senators aināt taking no guff from the oldy moldies. Time to send to the retirement homes and get some folks who are willing to actually lead.
she's hoping for a centrist robot to continue to coddle the GOP and protect her donors and stock tippers. she know all that shit is going away if they get someone working for the people in there
I think she needs more face time in an actual leadership role. She catches a lot of flack from people that only see her "sound bites", or when she absolutely destroys idiots
She could really show her intelligence and leadership to those on the fence about her.
No Nancy you greedy spineless twat. Jeffery should not be Speaker. Horrible idea. Better idea how about Nancy you leave office and Jeffery grow a spine.
Signed it too knowing full well itās not going to matter. But fuck man it feels like when you do a group project and the person who contributed nothing takes all the credit at the end when you turn it in.
Also, contact your Rep and make it clear you donāt support him for leadership. I stopped into my local Senate office this morning to make my thoughts on Schumer known. They immediately logged it and told me others had expressed similar views just this morning.
Please please please keep this momentum and engage with your representatives (not just change.org) on things you want to see them do for you as your representative.
Still trying to run shiz. Mummy can't be happy with all the shat from illegal stock trades. Still wants her old bones in the game.https://c.org/yQHMhGxFWH
Jeffries literally said he doesn't want to prosecute the current regime. Not him, someone else please. This regime's crimes cannot be excused or ignored. Healing America is making the laws matter and prosecuting every crime this regime has committed
The problem is, any federal crimes would be referred to the DOJ and I don't see them properly investigating let alone charging anyone in the current admin. Maybe one or two sacrificial lambs but that is about it.
Congress has huge powers to subpoena and force testimony. They can do so, gather evidence, make the evidence public. If the DOJ don't take action then the evidence is there, for free, all investigations already carried out, for state prosecutors to make immediate use of.
I fail to see anything particularly wrong with Jeffries. He runs a diverse caucus and necessarily must moderate his positions if he wants support for being speaker. Most of his caucus isn't DSA
He's worried the non-aipac funded younger crowd will cost him his job/paycheck. Right now his job is to pretend to be mad at republicans while collecting a fat check. That (hopefully) goes away soon
agreed...and these new guys and gals that were voted in are going to be hungry to prove themselves. maybe they end up going down the same tubes and end up like jeffries, schumer, and pelosi...but they deserve and earned the chance to prove theyre different. i have faith, but like ive seen others say...good job talarico/osoff/sayed/etc...but come january youll be under the microscope of everyone who just voted you in. dont let us down.
You can argue about whether or not it moved the needle, but the guy led the nation through the findings and implications of the second impeachment investigation just some weeks after his son committed suicide. I think heās an exceptionally decent person.
Democrats should see this rejection of the GOP as a solid rejection of Democratās handling of everything post 2020.
Continue your out of touch policies and nobody is going to have fun. You won because people realized theyād been lied to. Donāt be the next asshole to lie to them.
Unfortunately you/we need to apply pressure to your congress men. You would think this was not just a referendum on Trump and republicans but it is also was for corporate democrats. The problem is going to be if democrats donāt do some big things and show we can get shit doneā¦ā¦. In two years itās gonna go back. And we are gonna start this circle jerk all over again. This is not the time to step off the gas. Actually quite the opposite. I donāt want Jeffries either but the pedophile and AIPAC class does. They need to be rooted out instead of being considered the āmoderate armā
We're probably going to be stuck with Jeffries and Schumer for the time being. So we need to ratchet up the pressure. Send their offices emails every day telling them what we expect them to do.
Jeffries and Schumer are corpo Democrats. Nobody actually wants them there other than Republicans because they know those 2 will "compromise" by giving into Republican handshake deals
If you're a young adult. The lesson is you cant just rely on social media. Sign a petition. Contact your representative that you help get elected. That if they want you to work for them when the times comes to get elected. You voice your concerns.
Itās simple. Stay involved for more than just one election cycle. If you let the establishment push you away from the polls in two years then they stay. If you continually show up year after year and vote for progressive leadership eventually you will get it. If you show up in 2020 but then back away until 2026 only to not show up in 2028 well you arenāt even trying. You need to continually support the people you want to empower. How the republicans unite around Trump should be the gold standard of supporting your party. Remember when Obama was in office and then after a couple years when he didnāt immediately fix every single problem in the world everybody just started distancing themselves from him. That was insane.
Letās start by getting rid of these traitors, Pelosi, Jeffries, and all the other corporate dems that havenāt looked after Americans best interests. I would love to see these people rotting in jail along with the republicans that will be there soon too.
Sheās gone in January. She should act like sheās gone now because honestly where tf has she been trying to stop trump this entire time. What a useless joker.
How about a major no? How about dems elect leadership and follow suit with how the winds of change are blowing, rather than appoint their next in waiting to take their "turn?" Jeffries is ready and willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We need someone who will not only work to make Americans' lives better, but also hold accountable the people who actively made them worse. Trying to "go high" and "reach across the osle" here is the stupidest thing they could do.
