No, we want there to be consequences for the epstine class breaking the law. We also want to get things done on our behalf.

Jeffries needs to go.

Umm no. We want these fucks to be held accountable. You have the mandate. God damn pelosi, Jeffries, schumer need to go

Now would be a great time to call your representative and tell them Hakeem Jeffries is not what we need:

https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

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

"I'm just calling to ask that you 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 and introduce legislation to help regular people, 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;

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

(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."

Impeachment and accountability ARE things to get done

Jeffries is just fucking terrible.

I do not want to "get even" I want some GOD DAMN CONSEQUENCES for all the laws that were broken which at this point are way too numerous to list, but start with ICE's flagrant civil rights violations, MURDERS, illegal detention and treatment of immigrants AND US Citizens. Consequences for Trump sacrificing US military personnel for his bullshit Iran war so he could trade energy stocks and make money off of their deaths.

Democratic leadership is absolute shit. This wave only happened despite them and because Trump is worse, but holy shit do we need to clean house.

Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t speak for us. That’s going to become very apparent to him in the coming years.

Already trying to wiggle out of accountability.

If there aren't consequences for violating the constitution, then why should anyone follow it ?

Well, getting even would be nice, too.. but yeah, actions have to have consequences.

I want justice to be done. Characterizing that as "getting even" is a sign that Jeffries isn't up to the job.

If Jeffries wasn't bought and paid for and eas instead just extremely stupid and out of touch he'd at least be right about something. It takes effort to be this incompetent.

He's fucking wrong. We want the rule of law applied and the bastards that I broke it to be held accountable. We want Democrats to not have to answer to their corporate interests like the Republicans have been.

I cannot say what most Americans want with any certainty. So I only speak for myself.

I want accountability. I want retribution, not just justice but that as well, against those who have wronged the nation. I am probably in the minority in that I'm both bloodthirsty and moderately left of center (very left of center here in Texas).

Jeffries does not speak for what I want. And between today and the end of the next primary season where I fall back in line I'm going to make sure every person I voted for knows that. I'm already drafting letters.

Fuckin a right I don't want to get even, I want to fucking dominate. I want them prosecuted for treason, and convicted.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. "Getting things done" and "getting even" can both mean people go to fucking jail, so that future candidates will think twice about such crazed levels of corruption and weaponization of our government for political and financial gain.

It's not "getting even" it's protecting America from crimes against the nation! It's the same reason the legal system is supposed to do something to stop the maniac breaking into houses and assaulting people! If you don't stop him, he keeps doing it and other people also realize they can do it with impunity!

Wrong, assclown. We want jail time and impeachments and most of all we want JUSTICE. Release the trumpstein files!

I want BOTH. Multi-task, you fucking performative arts major. Dems need new leadership in both chambers.

Yes, and one big thing we want done on our behalf is get even. Hold every single one of those corrupt fascist fucks accountable. To the point that they don't try it again....at least not for a few more inevitable decades.

Fuck. Every. Last. One. Of them

Part of getting things done is reigning in the massive amounts of destruction and corruption.

Get this fucking boner out of there. The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries is 50% responsible for the rise and re-rise of MAGA, and neither has done anything to demonstrate that they deserve a THIRD chance. Replace them both, and get someone who understands what the mission is.

Do both or get fucked.

Oh yeah, I forgot this fucking clown still exists. Talk about a wet blanket...

And the first thing that needs to be done is get rid of Jeffries!!!!!

Right on time.

Just like the last blue wave with Obama. "Time to come together, not time to blame".

Republicans have already warned that a return to law-and-order would land them in prison. The crimes they committed are egregious. Prove them right on this one.

It's not about "getting even". This is about serving justice and sending a message that corruption is never permitted.

I'd be okay with getting even on my behalf.

Among the things Americans want done: remove the pedophiles from power

Getting even is different from ensuring criminals meet consequences.

Lemmy, X, and Reddit:

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

I've never had a greater urge to punch someone in the face.

Its time for you and Chuckles to step back and usher in the next generation of democrats

Do both. This guy isn’t right for the job.

Weasle words are for weasels

The fuck we don’t.

This is fucking political malpractice, read the goddamn room, pal! Doesn't help to be paid to stay blind... This is emblematic of the need for the fight to eject huge donors and their bribe money from politics.

I mean... thats pretty much getting even at this point.

Bullshit, conservatives should be second class citizens

Preach!!! Get things done and ignore the attention whores. Trump is a lame duck and will flail and cause more damage to his party. Ignore him and make him Veto or Republicans actually filibuster anything and everything that will help regular people.
