Despite the downvotes, it sounds like you are responding in good faith. So I'll say, I've been watching Jeffries for a long time, and he is not a fighter. He just makes tepid speeches for even more tepid action still.

I can say with rare confidence there's no racism at play for me or the movement to oust him from leadership - everything I say about him is interchangeable with Schumer.

The bottom line is we need a wartime consigliere to seize this moment or we'll backslide in two years, and Jeffries ain't it.

Well, corrupt or not, he has said he doesn't support going after the corrupt individuals in the current administration. That is enough of a reason for me to not want him in that job.

if you haven’t made a decision yet about him being corrupted, you are either not paying attention or you are paying attention. either way your call that this is based on racism AND that we should not bother because republicans lost power anyways scream you are not being honest about your intentions.

I have not decided that Jeffries is corrupt

You haven't decided that the Pacific Ocean is large either.

I also find myself wondering about racism, whether that's at play here.

Fuck off with that bullshit. Jeffries is the hand picked protégé of Pelosi and in many ways is even more awful than her. His skin color and/or ethnicity has nothing to do with it.

republicans will now change their game

Bullshit. It's not like they were passing much even WITH majorities in both chambers. Their main function was to not stop their Mango Messiah from constantly breaking the law.

In that aspect, ineffective and corrupt leaders like Jeffries and Schumer who haven't ever met a fascist they don't yearn to give concessions are not that different from the current fascists doing the same nothing because they support the crimes.

Take down the democratic leadership?

No. Replace them with others who actually represent the needs and wants of the majority of their constituency rather than the majority of donation dollars.

I am seeing this petition being posted in a lot of threads I'm reading this morning

Because a shitload of people agree that he's an embarrassment in desperate need for replacement.

With 50 cents per signature, that's a good incentive to spam it all over the place.

That's only for the one who first posted it. Unless she's illegally giving some posters a cut, nobody but she and the site are making any money from it being shared.
