Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are the Dems' neverending rolling disaster. They need to be ousted.
And while they're at it, they should throw out those two other double-crossing motherfuckers too.
a relatively small number of dems in the house and senate can call for a dem-party-only vote to elect a new leader in their chamber. But that vote never gets called for. That tells me that Schumer and Jeffries are part of a much larger problem within the party. If we get rid of Schumer and Jeffries the corpo-dems will just put forth another. They are already positioning Slotkin to take over for Schumer. She's a hardcore zionist who is on the pro business caucus and is proudly a blue dog. A good days work for her is signing her name on a bill thats also supported by republicans. Also known as being a traitor to her party.
Let them try, the can't sideline the dsa this time
So a Republican with a 'D' next to their name.
With the nature of media it's not hard to notice that 2-3 democratic-socialists get elected to office nation-wide and the establishment wants to act like all problems are solved, even though there are still several-hundred more corpo Democrats that need to be replaced across the country.
I assumed it was because they were also of the pedophile persuasion. But I guess it could be because they are happy to be technofascists for the right price.
Unfortunately society is full of "politically slow" people who either don't pay attention, are subject to extra propanagda, or just slow to cotton on... And they sort of screw things up for everyone.
I mean, there are still Trump supporters out there.
It's because a long time ago those in power realized they can literally create more of those politically slow people on purpose, by starving them of education and feeding them nonstop propaganda about never looking behind the curtain.
Now they have a dumb, submissive electorate that can't stop electing them even if they wanted to. We're trapped, and we'll have to gnaw our own leg off to get out.
