What is Schumer's job again?

Everyone needs to write their reps, somebody offered this script in the other thread, I'm going to use it and others should too:

'My script, feel free to use (or just replace Jeffries with Schumer and use for a senator call):

"I'm just calling to share that I do not support Hakeem Jeffries as the Speaker of the incoming House.  Mr. Jeffries has shown for years he is unwilling to fight for causes that are right, only what he thinks he can easily win.  He cannot change the status quo and electing him speaker will sabotage the hard work voters have done. 

As my representative, please support a new leader who will immediately and vehemently stop the Trump administration's unconstitutional and illegal actions, including:

(1) Immediately initiate investigations with aggressive timelines and legislation to prosecute and/or impeach corrupt officials, stop unconstitutional ICE and White House immigration killings and kidnappings, and create a strategy to actually serve justice even without the DOJ's participation, including coordinating with state AGs;

(2) Introduce federal legislation to mirror Montana's rejection of corporate and billionaire campaign funding;

(3) Introduce legislation to create Medicare for All or a similar public option for healthcare; and

(4) Immediately schedule votes and draft superseding legislation regarding Trump's tariffs, the Iran war, and funding for Ukraine.

(5) Immediately schedule votes to stop funding the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza.

Mr. Jeffries has demonstrated neither the will nor the strategic ability to implement any of the above.  Please do not support Mr. Jeffries for House speaker."'

They’ll see this wave of victories as support for Jeffries/Schumer

In spite of him, really.

Holy heck the dem is 28 votes up right now, that race is close

Yeah I did a double take on that. It wasn’t even registering in my mind as viable so reality shook a little seeing that

What about places like alabama and florida?

Non american here, sitting with popcorn.

One thing Nate Silver pointed out during his livestream coverage was that in most of the battleground contests, the Democrats brought pretty strong candidates. Those candidates made their decisions to run and campaigned expecting to have hard fights. The Republicans often didn't have the most-competitive candidates they could have in a number of races that turned out to be up for grabs because normally these were places where it wouldn't matter; the Republican candidate winning would be pretty much a certain thing. Trump's deep unpopularity inducing such a large, late shift away from the Republican Party among voters meant that a lot of contests that the Republican Party would have considered safe seats were unexpectedly battlegrounds.

Get the Schmuck out of here.

No, but he's up for re-election in 2028. I do think a primary of him has a real chance given even many house dems are quite pissed at him

Well there's gonna be a lot of new faces, so fingers crossed 🙃

Progressives should refuse to vote for him for Speaker. It's not as if it's a given position.

Jeffries should've been kicked out of the speaker candidate pool after his treasonous meeting with Kushner. The fact that no dem is talking about it is a bad sign and speaks to how much justice we can expect (or not) for all the corruption and criminal activity that happend these past two years.

Chuck and Jeffries speeches were fucked... the Dems got more this time despite their efforts.

Exit polls show that 50% of all voters think that the US provides too much support to Israel. Schumer is for sure doing that Principal Skinner meme right now.

schumers is full zionist, so is hakeem, and they are shiedling at least dozen+ congresspeople whoa re also funded by aipac.

America has moved past that sort of smarmy racist campaigning. EVERYBODY has worked with or for people of all sorts of religions, races, and national origins. MAGAs could scare people back when people were still confused about Muslims, etc., but that's passed. 9/11 was 25 years ago, the world has moved on. The rampant, open racism doesn't make people feel good, it creeps them out.

The insane racist attacks on Sayed, the mind-boggling Ramaswamy ad supporting pedophiles, the defection of Haley Stevens, etc. were shocking and disturbing, but only served to solidify Democratic resolve. We've seen how these traitors operate now, and we are no longer shocked at their depravity, it just makes us angrier, and more resolved to punish them.

He can retire now, he's earned it.

But it’s his turn.

It's a Fetterman-proof margin already which is all I give a shit about.

AP has it at 53 to 41, with the remaining 6 split evenly. Even if all 6 went Democratic there not enough to beat the filibuster.

Still, it's going to fall pretty far short of supermajority in either House or Senate, which means any chance of impeachment and conviction is off the table. Getting 10 R senators willing to vote to convict, regardless of the evidence, is going to be difficult to the point of near impossibility. Even after seeing more than a few R senators get their comeuppance right now and expecting to be on the ballot in 2028 with Vance or Rubio as the candidate, they'll still stand for the loyalty test to try and latch on to the money teat.

Clean The House

"People don't want us to get even"

They don't? I mean I'm not from there but....I would want that. Otherwise it's just another shift to the right that they got away with. Level the playing field. Get shit done.

Acting like it’s mutually exclusive. Hakeem fuckface YOU CAN DO BOTH.

Don't let them frame is as "getting even."

This isn't some petty squabble, nor is it revenge.

Oh the odds are at least 50/50 at this point.

The Council on Foreign Relations has material up.

Democrats Win Control of Congress. Here’s How That Could Affect U.S. Foreign Policy.

Nah, there are enough collaborator Democrats that will cross the aisle to join the Nazis. He'll be slowed, not stopped.

There used to be a chart showing how often senators voted with their party, but I can't find it now. There's always two Democrats near the centerline.
