Understand the mandate “get the younger generation to rule and gtfo”
You’re time is up, walk away with dignity. Step aside like a man.
The dignity ship sailed with treason for Israel
His time was up like 10+ years ago. All these old fucks are just clinging on to power because their lives are empty.
That’s a hard thing for a lizard to do
“We just saw democracy in America in action. We should bring a little more democracy to the United States Senate,” [Maryland Senator Chris] Van Hollen continued. “We have two newly-elected senators who would not be there if Schumer and the [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] had their way.”
Van Hollen then drew a line in the sand, arguing that Schumer and the DSCC had “sided with the crypto industry” and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, better known by the acronym AIPAC.
A wave of Democratic voices have been opposing Schumer’s leadership and establishment politics since the party won the majority in Congress in last week’s elections.
Yep. Schumer has been calling these candidates and their supporters a minority voice, but those voices were overwhelming majorities this election, so let’s take a vote on the next leaders of the Democratic Party. Get rid of the good old boys policy of seniority. It’s anti-democratic, it’s anti-change.
I was torn before because you do want someone in there that knows how to get the votes and handle getting things done, but he has proven that he’s for himself first. We’ll figure it out with a new person.
Pretty much this. He is a good politician when we strictly measure his ability to negotiate and secure votes. However, that doesn’t matter when he’s negotiating and securing those votes from a place of bad faith, because it is abundantly clear that his focus is on Israel first.
Schumer is Israel first, Baileys second
By what metric are you judging his ability to get votes? Seems to me Democrats have struggled to get any kind of legislation through the Senate for years which I think indicates that he’s not very good at getting votes.
Exactly. The only votes Schumer is good at getting is getting moderate dems to vote with the republicans.
And I suspect his lauded ability to ‘secure votes’ is deeply connected to AIPAC’s lobbying. When he needs to secure a vote, he just calls up his Israeli buddies and has them apply pressure.
Van Hollen isn’t new, he’s been in the Senate for 10 years and has served as chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. He knows what’s up
His lack of popularity with voters and party members doesn’t matter if this is how the dems are gonna secure their nominations. Theyre basically telling the party ‘Israel first or else’. This isnt a race, its a coronation.
That article is about this House. We’re talking about the Senate. Electing a House Speaker required a simple majority of all members. Given Democrats’ sizeable majority, this means probably 50 Representatives would have to withhold support from Jeffries. This may happen or may not. Fortunately, in the House there are mechanisms for membership to bring bills to the floor regardless of the Speaker’s wishes.
In the Senate, I think enough Democratic Senators are on board for a change from Schumer, which will force a competitive election for Majority Leader. This position has more control of the legislative agenda than the House Speaker does
You think party leadership in the Senate is gonna be less forceful than the house?
I don’t understand how you gleaned that from anything I said above
So you think the same party that’s threatening reps for control of the house simply won’t organize to the same level in the Senate, the much more powerful body of government? Explain why to me the Senate is gonna be a free and fair race from the same party willing to threaten reps over the house.
he can go get fucked in israel.
Kick his ass to the curb. Let him leave with dignity if he chooses to listen. Shove him out the door if he refuses.
Have Liberals finally realized that capitulating to those openly and aggressively hostile to Liberalism is like the stupidest fucking thing ever?
In a feat of unparalleled mental athleticism, they’ve managed to avoid learning any correct lesson for a solid decade now
But they’re looking tied out there Jim. Who knows how much longer they can keep up this incredible performance
Nope.
