primary this spineless wimp

Reposted from Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Here’s the leadership change we need: we need Leader Jeffries to be replaced by SPEAKER Jeffries, to check the Trump administration’s wanton destruction and end the madness. Any effort not targeted to that goal is a waste at best and a harm at worst.

extremely frustrating that whitehouse just re-elected and will presumably continue being a useless lump occupying a senate seat til 2031

what a moronic statement, because even his imagination we only take the house lol?

if youre imagining the future when weve already won elections to avoid fighting now just imagine a leadership change to a democratic president

Given that literally zero senate Democrats have publicly asked for Schumer to be removed as minority leader, you have to assume that all of them are on board with his bullshit.

They all have to go.

Too chickened?

psheth.bsky.social•1 day ago

Afraid of what? There are absolutely zero actual consequences that could be imposed on a senator for calling for Schumer's ouster.

abittercoffee73.bsky.social•1 day ago

I honestly don't know myself but I think there's a reason why they're silent about this. Maybe the donors are okay with Schumer's actions. The biggies I
mean

psheth.bsky.social•1 day ago

I mean the obvious explanation is that this is what they want. They are basically fine with most of Trump's agenda and they're happy to be his junior coalition partner

"They" could either be all the Dems senators OR it could also be the people that sponsor their campaigns. So if you badmouth Schumer, they won't give you money for re-election and will invest in your rivals in primary.

Either way, I don't think Dems voters are liking such a party.

This is my tentative guess at who are faux nos, with the assumption that de facto no's were a majority of the caucus. And that's the minimum number, there could be as many as 20 or god forbid 25. But I think if it started getting that high, things wouldn't have gotten so heated.

This is probably really unfair to some people- I pretty much assigned Klobuchar to faux no because she wants to be president! But that's what happens when the caucus attempts to deceive their entire base. And the nice thing is, anyone under suspicion can fix it by calling for Schumers ouster!

What would be the point of having a d speaker again if the senate votes against house dems? Last time it was manchin and sinema, this time there’s fetterman and a lot more. It’s ridiculous. They have one job which is to literally be d McConnells and they just don’t have the balls
