After a week back home where Democrats took an earful from their voters demanding they hold a tougher line with Trump, Hakeem Jeffries is facing new pressure to forgo his cautious demeanor and lead the charge against the White House — and take the reins of his party’s strategy from Chuck Schumer.

Very trumpy
Hakeem, please step up and fight for us or step back and let someone else take the reins.
We need a complete overhaul from the top down. He needs to go.
Fascists are dismantling democracy at full speed, and he just stands by.
He must step down NOW and hand power to AOC and Bernie. We need real fighters before it's too late!
Brakes and not running over peasants is woke.
If BLUE holds to a, "Do Nothing and Let RED Implode", strategy-it can't Clearly Show any difference from Chaos-Ridden RED.
Voters Might Even Think, "Well, Hell. RED's Better Than Nothing."
BLUE Must Get Back In The Fight!
ACT RIGHT NOW!

The cautious careful wording that was the privilege of the past has no place in the wreckage of the present.
In future there must be fire in their words, whoever leads what remains of Democrats.
What the fuck does it take get these lazy fucking non voting democrats to the goddam polls??
For fucks sake people.
Thank you Nancy 💙👊
Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember.
>>> This would all STOP if they objected. <<<
They appear to be the enemy. Treat them accordingly!
CR was bad, Shutdown, (15 OR 20X Worse) Executive Branch determines “ESSENTIALS”. SNAP, Transit Aid, Cut Medicaid SS, Veterans by 20, 30, 50, 80%. GIVE TAX CUTS TO THE BILLIONAIRES! SHUT DOWN FOR 6, 9, A YEAR? THERE'D BE NO WAY TO STOP IT. SHUTDOWN Be Even Worse than CR.
Schumerial Bitching does nothing.
USE UR TIME WISELY!

But now I’m wondering are the leadership advisors NOT offering him ideas and solutions?
Any minute now…
😒
There are tiny little protests everywhere now. Log off, go out, make them HUGE!
right “leader” for the moment.
Pushback the dismantling of government by Elon Musk. Most especially the continued assault from the White House on Federal Judicial Branch. Attacks on Judges is abhorrent.
Let's stop wasting time, time is not our fucking friend at this point.

I'm tired of this weak mindset
If you can't do it, then move, b! Get out the way!
We need fresh people and better ideas going forward.
Kinda gives up the game that they are all soulless politicians and it's all just an act.
So be it. He should definitely change his demeanor. I only vote for the demeanors that are the least worst anyway.
(Damn, I'm feeling salty this morning.)
I just found out my rep, Mike Levin, doesn't take corporate money. And he's out there fighting for the VA and Medicaid and Social Security.
Turns out he might be kind of a badass in training.
Hakeem isn’t capable like Merrick Garland was incapable
This is a task that someone must feel in his gut. One must be relentless, indefatigable, and break glass.
Hakeem is an institutional man
Raskin and Crockett are the inside leaders
Sanders and AOC are trailblazers.
All respect to Hakeem, but he is, by his very nature, not wired for this kind of fight.
It isn’t a character defect, it’s just not who he is.
He should recognize that about himself and throw his support behind a brawler spoiling for a fight.
Time to hand the reins over to AOC.
@schumer.senate.gov
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Hopefully
Congress isn’t doing shit.
You can't have a body that needs to play by the rules of the system to defend against a threat on a systemic level.
Stop counting on political leaders and start gathering NON-political leaders.
1/2
Having non-political leaders would also make it easier to unite the population regardless of their political party.
2/2
I am not giving any money to Dems who don’t fight for is like AOC and Bernie and a few others.
There are 262 dems in Congress few are out there.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social missed the Leadership Boat when it was at the dock screaming for him to board it.
Too little too late.
Dems need to fight like AOC, Bernie, Crockett, Murphy & others or the country will look for Independants. All Dems need to be on board & together no matter what. This is what's needed right now.
What's the definition of insanity again?

He’s not the charismatic leader of the new opposition. Putting him there would be a mistake. He would crumble in this role. Please no.
We need more powerful voices to inspire folks instead.
