Schumer and Jeffries? Absolutely. Not only do their personal politics not line up with the party's new popular mandate, they just fucking suck at their job. They want nothing more than to sit back, do nothing, and funnel endless money to Israel while letting things rot. Pelosi, I'm less convinced, since she at least seems savvy enough to seize on a movement, even if she doesn't really agree with it. Wouldn't mind seeing her get scrapped for fresh blood though.

This is the best setting Progressives have had to make real change in this country in DECADES. Let's not blow it. Call your reps and tell them to make Schumer and Jeffries pound sand.

I agree but at the same time there is no better time to run a progressive then now. With the Republican party deeply unpopular now, it's very likely the next president will be a Democrat. If we choose to pass on 2028, then the task of selling a progressive platform to the public becomes more challenging with a Democrat as president.

She needs Chuck’s job first.

Unfortunately, I think we'll get a Progressive male president before we get a female anything president.

I still hear people talk about how they wouldn't want a woman president, and some of these people are democratic women.

Yes, the exact terminology in the constitution is that the president must be a "natural born citizen". There's debate on the "natural born" part. For example, Ted Cruz was born Canadian, but his mom was from the US, which conferred him US citizenship at birth as well, so he's debatably "natural born". John McCain was born in the Panama canal zone, which was a US territory at the time (and his parents were citizens), but there still was some debate at the time.

Zohran is basically just a regular immigrant who became a citizen, with no way you could claim the "natural born" part.

What makes it so impressive is that he can do this on the fly. Incredibly quick. Really one of a kind.

He needed a long beard to troll the Islamophobes and racists

Ah he's a handsome bastard in fairness. He could nearly do no wrong fashion-wise.

He’s all set for Mo-vember!

They for sure can impeach him. The problem is trying to convict him in the Senate. They don't have the numbers, it takes a 2/3 majority. And I don't think any of the republicans in the Senate have the balls to try to convict Trump. And far too many of them are MAGA assholes themselves.

However there is a plethora of people under Trump that they can go after and easily put under the spotlight. Taking out his foundation will be far more effective at neutralizing him.

Why wouldnt it be AOC?

Imo, progressives will be much more effective in the legislative branch than the executive. We need a big enough coalition to actually make the laws to be enforced. That's why I'd much prefer AOC replacing Schumer than running for president.

I hope we're not still pretending Genocide Joe was a progressive.
