“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader said on Fox News Sunday.
It’s not about getting even, though that is a nice fringe benefit. It is about holding criminals to account and not letting it be seen that they can just skate away scot free without paying for their crimes.
New speaker of the house now!!! Schumer and Jeffries helped lead us into all this.
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 dooming 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.
Thank you! This is much better than yelling into the Lemmy void!
Have voters not made it clear enough that YOU don’t get to decide what is or isn’t a priority…they do.
The entire election was about Republicans doing whatever they wanted regardless of the wishes of their electorate. You sure you want to burn down that same bridge, Hakeem…?
Call your rep and tell them not to vote for Jeffries. I think this election ought to scare the shit out of everyone who isn’t a progressive that they are on the hot seat to actually fucking do something.
Already done and told my senators not to vote for genocidal self enrichment expert chuck Schumer. I think one of them might actually not vote for them
Conducting checks and balances is literally his effing job. Bro doesnt even understand what his job is.
replace this milquetoast
Hungarian here, we had an election in April, we now have 2 ministers, and a central bank chief in custody, with the son of said central banker also having an international arrest warrant out for him. And we’re not done, not by far.
And we have a better democracy than we had before. Prosecution of criminals is part of democracy.
Alright, y’all have to fire this loser.
Your country went to the brink of authoritarian dictatorship; on Tuesday, it crept back one sixteenth of an inch from the precipice. Prosecuting every motherfucker who broke the law in Trump’s administration should be priorities 1, 2, and 3. Brazil put their Trump in jail after their January 6. Maybe they could give your politicians some democracy lessons.
Rat, plant, shill, etc. Plainer than ever now
what a fucking moron. I want revenge you dumb bitch.
Why does this dipshit think the gas is expensive all of a sudden
I get it Jeffries, but their is something called “the law.” The price hikes are due to those Orange Shitstains breaking multiple laws.
Justice must be served. It’s paramount that we set an example or it’s going to happen again and be even worse.
He should be asked directly why he hates children and wants to protect pedophiles.
not even the first part - only the second is needed.
If people don’t like the idea of Jeffries, 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 dooming 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.
Or call, don’t email, don’t write, call your newly elected representative you voted for and ask them to stand up for new leadership. That’s a fuck ton better than signing some internet petition that no one gives two shits about and better than bitching on social media that no one really gives two shits about.
True. I probably should have added that, although there won’t be good contact avenues for a lot of them until January. It’s something I do semi regularly and forget it’s not common practice for everybody else.
Although I think even more effective would be calling your representatives who aren’t newly elected and tell them you will primary them in the next cycle if they support Jeffries and Schumer for majority speaker positions.
Yup, however I think giving them a ultimatum about primarying them is going to fall short man.
The person on the phone isn’t going to be representative, just a lowest paid staffer there who’s heard threats all day every day from Republicans and I doubt they’ll take you or anyone of us seriously when you say you’re going to primary them unless you actually show them your official registration form and FEC registration. Just be respectful and voice your honest opinion that the leadership sucks and you want them to replaced.
It certainly depends on who you are. If you leave your contact info and they look into it and your registered under the party they will take your threat more seriously. If a couple dozen Dems call after that saying the same thing, they will take your call MUCH more seriously.
Impeach that zionist traitor
