who claims to be the leader of the democrats right now?
i havent heard or seen anyone stand up since kamala harris lost the election 3 months ago
Bravo
Pramila nice try, we won't forget, too soon to be talking leadership.
Leadership is something you just do without thinking
Honking your own horn rarely works .
This is how an opposition leader speaks to the press.

from CNN:
In her rebuttal, Slotkin will “communicate that Democrats are fighting to lower the cost of living and protect Social Security and Medicaid while Republicans cut taxes for their billionaire donors and Elon Musk,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.
Meanwhile, where’s Biden and Obama?
None of them will step forward because they are just as gutless and traitorous as the fascists who ushered in this regime!
If they wanted to stop this they could call for a general strike right now!
DNC is stuck.
Schumer and Jeffries ain’t it.
BTW they are literally in positions of leadership. It’s in their titles.
They are the party that lost to one of the worst people to be in politics.
They stood around kicking rocks for 6 weeks while Trump undermined everything.
They still have not figured out how to get outside of themselves and fight.

"The ONLY force" - which Hakeem and Chuck can't seem to understand.
Democrats have no power in Congress—they don't control the House or the Senate. All Democratic leaders in Congress can do right now is give speeches.
The leader of the Democratic Party will probably be a governor.
Why wait for 1?
Leadership of said party has been replaced with shameless slippery weaseling.
What are Democrats afraid of?
Dems: What. Is. The. Plan.?!?!
Where’s Kamala where’s Hillary ?
I also may have been too brief.
The existing leadership and long standing Democrats resist incorporating progressives which is the group Jayapal leads. Pelosi and her successor Jeffries are hostile toward progressives so Jayapal can’t “step in” and lead.
I’m saying that if her position is leadership is absent, then who’s going to 1) stop her, 2) take her to the woodshed?
They’re in charge or they’re not. Can’t be both.
Dem Leadership is acquiescing to Trump. It seems like they’re absent.
However they show up when Progressives seek leadership. See AOC for Oversight.
I really think progressives and left should break off and form a large tent 3rd party.
Josh Shapiro, Newsom, AOC, Crockett, Frost, Moore, and Pressley can be added in with Jayapal.

Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can afford to be humble. If we are weak, then we become selfish. If we are empty, we take, but if we are full, we automatically give to all.
That is our true nature.

The best prospects are governors, JB topping the list.
Get the YOUNG, & ACTIVE members out front. AOC, Pete, Crockett etc
Trump has a trifecta
Wisdom comes with age, I respect his path, he earned it.
2. Strategize
3. Pick new leaders
But it sounds like Democrats are going to fail US again by showing up and bowing down.
Pass this on if you agree.

Let’s hear from them about how to attack.
The congressional dems should support this and sit down and shut up b/c what they are doing ain’t working.

...then decry the fact that you party has no leader.
YES
There really, Really, REALLY was
It was the DEMOCRATIC Party Primary
and they were being encouraged to vote AGAINST not only the Democratic Party Nominee, but the ONLY Democrat in the Primary.
Nothing's NOT wrong about that!
That's called "HYPOCRISY".
So-called "progressives" like Pramila Jayapal encouraged him to step aside.
He did.
Now these same so-called "progressives" are bemoaning the fact that the Democratic Party is without its leader.
He resigned.
And now, soulless unprincipled hypocrites like Jayapal are crying because the party's leader resigned...
..Like she encouraged him to do.
we need a Senate like Zelenskyy
we need a House like Zelenskyy
fuck, we just need a president
The rest of the party should be taking their cues from them.
AOC
Crockett
Raskin
Rock stars.
That's pretty much it though, as far as Congress, and that's extremely sad.
Random question: is Pete Aguilar still part of House Leadership? Because he's invisible if so, and I thought he and Jeffries would be a great team (whoops).
Elizabeth Warren
Didn't they see this coming? Where's the plan?
Nothing but dead air...
The closest we have right now is Bernie Sanders, for crying out loud!!!
1.) sweeping campaign finance reform
2.) tax billionaires out of existence
