November 18,19, is NEXT WEEK. Jeffries and Schumer need to pledge on paper the next 2years goals, in order of priority of the people’s they represent. Period. They are not Princes. Delay the selection.
We the People actually won this election. We saved our own asses by uniting into a Landslide Force. Nobody else did it but us. We picked the only viable choice.
I hope that the democrats listen to the people when they say they have NO CONFIDENCE in Jefferies and Schumer !!
And apparently Schumer doesn’t have a plan to carry out the proposals made by progressive Democrats that won the election in a landslide
These two have a track record which shows how weak and pathetic they are - Remember when a group of Democrats caved during the government shut down while Schumer was in charge
We know who these guys are and they shouldn’t get the job just because they currently hold it or have seniority -
As Senator Van Hollen said if they can’t or won’t talk to their caucus and get everyone aligned on what the goals are then they should be REPLACED!!
GETTING THE RIGHT LEADERS IS CRITICAL GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE !
I agree that NOBODY should get the job on seniority alone.
I spent a couple of years of my life early on doing factory work. The number of times I saw complete hacks...get promoted to positions...simply because they had been there since Moses was a mess cook...was FAR too many.
Van Hollen put it well...NO coronation and NO blank check.
Voters...delivered a wave....and they deserve leaders with a PLAN to match it. House Democrats vote November 18...and Senate Democrats in early December...so NOW is the time to call your members...and tell them exactly what you told me.
You called it correctly. Getting the right leaders IS CRITICAL!
There needs to be change for the change to keep happening. Having the same old-same old just gives you more of the same lame shit we have had in the past. Look what happened after the 2020 win...NOTHING...that is why we are where we are today. If anyone expects change they need to voice their concerns. Sadly I live in the red world of Florida on the west coast with repugs from our area.
Let’s Go Community and share with 🔥 in your belly and make the calls, the time has come (I like Jeffries and Schumer but unless they map out 2 years, I believe they won’t) I agree with Jack. Think about who would lead the House w/Strength, then suggest it soon via Call, the Democratic Coalition tell Scott Dworkin on substack to send to Congress now, Including your pick for Senate. We the people need results not delays.
That’s the spirit...fire in the belly and phones in hand. Yep...you can like Jeffries and Schumer and still insist on a two-year plan before they get the job. That's just responsible citizenry.
RESULTS...not delays. Make the calls, everyone! :)
Are none of these yahoos strategic thinkers?!? Understand cause and effect?? Are they so freaking out of touch with their supposed constituents that they have no clue what the GD message of the election was?? Eeeeeeeeeeee!!
My current Senator (Elissa Slotkin) and Senator-elect Abdul certainly do and for that I am very grateful. Time to give my incoming House Rep a call….. he’s new and replacing my much despised maga dude so there is hope.
This incoming Congress needs to get their sh** together…. We cannot waste this opportunity. Somebody, anybody…. STEP UP!
Thank you Jack. Looks like it’s time to kick some butt…. force the issue with these folks.
Your frustration is earned. The message of this election was NOT subtle. You’re fortunate to have Slotkin and El-Sayed...who BOTH seem to have heard it.
Calling your new House rep is the right move...because a freshman is still deciding what kind of member he’ll be. Go kick some butt, Deb!
Stagnation of leadership when there are highly intelligent candidates who know how to take on issues with knowlwdge and modern skill sets is the most important strategy to ensure progress and fulfilling promises to constituents.
Retaining people who are tainted
by and/or beholden to their donors are not serving the people who voted them in Fetterman is another Benedict Arnold dinosaur in the same boat as Jeffries and Schumer.
Everyone has a season. People like Bernie Sanders have grown with the times and have remained at the top of their game. Schumer has not grown. He needs to accept he has done his bit and now it is time to hand over the gavel to a talented politician who can make a positive difference. He could make it easy for himself if he made a good decision. He can either go out with thanks or the shame. The decision is his. A decent Democrat might have a heart to heart chat with him.
Jeffries, ijust needs to be voted out. He is a loose canon. I noticed he has been very silent since his early being on stage with the Democrats seeking to raise the Epstein files. I noticed he went quiet on this. Why was this so?
To create change, there is a need to have leaders who have the skills to lead within modern frameworks. There are a number of wmen who have the balls to take on any vile Republicans and leave them in a screaming heap whilst being very diplomatic and will not accept nonsense.
If it (and it will) come to it I could probably take Jeffries (hold your nose and vote, right?) but Schumer really needs to go. I shouldn’t but do find it incredible these guys all think they’re entitled to a lifetime appointment and once in office, seems like there’s not much flowing back to the people who put them there.
On the other hand Jeffries “concerns me deeply”. I saw a clip today where he demonstrated some spine, but it seemed like the exception rather than the rule. He will doubtless get in. But even if his policies and visions are awesome, his delivery is not. Normally and in general I do not point out or mock what might be a real disability he’s been working to overcome.. but for someone set to be “speaker of the house” it’s hard to imagine let alone watch anyone with a voice and delivery such as his. (Apparently I’m not alone in this, I have no receipts but more than one source I’ve seen has said, to be polite, “he’s not the best public speaker I know…”)
Jack, your newsletter made me want to stand up and cheer. I have watched Schumer and Jeffries wishy-washy through the last two years. I don't know who should take the gavels, but I agree we need someone with not only a plan, but "true grit."
November 18,19, is NEXT WEEK. Jeffries and Schumer need to pledge on paper the next 2years goals, in order of priority of the people’s they represent. Period. They are not Princes. Delay the selection.
I can't improve on that, Beverly. Well said!

POW. The comments coming in are sharp, short...and CONCISE, Sher'. I need to be taking notes!

I admit I've been a little blunt… no offense intended….😏.
Thanks Jack!

Teri...exactly right!
Change has to KEEP being demanded...or...it stops. Your voice counts in red Florida too. Call them anyway...and MAKE them hear it.
#HOLDFAST

Teri, we’re democrats and this is our nation, too!! Give ‘em the bizness!
BOOM!
Rae is ALIVE and well:)

They’ll hear from me from bright red Oklahoma. Loud and clear.

Here’s what they did to a newly elected Democrat yesterday. They’re mob bosses.
