If he and Jeffries end up in leadership, then that's a slap in the face of the voters who are very clear about their desire for new leadership.
They really do think the voters are stupid and they don't have to justify their actions to us.
second slap, they are already voting with Republicans to gift money and protection to big oil
Power is never ceded willingly. If we've already established that Schumer and Jeffries operate in bad faith a la Sinema and Fetterman, then the pressure must come from those newly elected reps and those on the ballot in 2028.
It's imperative that Democrats distance themselves from Israel as much as they can by '28, and that's impossible if Schumer and Jeffries are still leading.
He can't step down. The Israeli's haven't given him permission to do that.
Democrats and leadership have lost so much ground in unions. New leadership that actually respects workers not sucking off corporations is needed.
Unions are like anything else democratic...
When people feel like they don't need to pay attention to leadership elections, shitty people get elected to leadership.
At least the Machiniests seem to know what's up.
But don't forget how many endorse Republicans and neoliberals to the determent of their members.
Because the institutions that are supposed to protect them have lost the trust of the people they're supposed to be representing. Institutions live and die on trust. If we don't figure out how to foster those relationships of trust at scale, people will continue to find a comfortable lie to live in.
A democrat by any other name is still a democrat. People demanded Pelosi step down, so we got Pelosi in blackface. The oligarchy will always defend it's existence
