Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on. Keep on-topic
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This should change. I don't even know who the other options are? I saw someone (onion owner) suggest Raskin, but mostly just talk about schumer and jeffries needing to go.
Yeah, I don’t for the life of me understand why the progressive wing doesn’t just say “fuck that” and just refuse to line up behind the establishment. This is actually a perfect time for a Democratic Party schism, now that the legislature has been wrested from the fascists (I know, there’s still certification and swearing in, but I’d consider challenges in those domains to be kind of intrinsically extralegal). The DCCC old guard got us here, and it’s well past time we took away their keys and drivers license.
The large Democratic wave (spurred in no small part by the progressive wing) may actually work against them, because if the Democratic majority is really more than 40 seats (as is currently projected), then that means that they can afford to lose 20 or 30 members and still get their agenda through. So those far left politicians don't really have a lot of leverage if they want to buck the leadership.
Point of order:
They’re not really “far left”. In most other countries, they’d probably be considered centrist, and in some cases, center-right.
Anyways: part of what I hope happens here is that the DCCC establishment understands that they’re being put on notice, and that at least some reps accept that the political winds have materially changed.
Raskin has been putting in a lot of good work investigating corruption. I think he would be a good pick.
