Based on everything coming out it seems Hakeem has massive support in the caucus. So much so that no one even wants to give the idea that they don’t support him.

Schumer on the other hand sounds like his support isn’t as wide spread.

    Unfortunately internal votes are not democratic. Jeffries has a lot of power in the caucus. The votes are secret so they can not be subject to backlash or bullying. That also means we can’t hold them accountable for how they vote.

    People really forget how good we had it when we had only like 4 billionaires. Thats when small businesses thrived and we had so many options for everything. Now only a handful of stores

    Multiple reports have come out and said the offices are getting hundreds and in some cases close to a thousand calls a day telling them to get new leadership. I think we’re gonna get what we want on this

    I hate saying this but imma be honest with you. They absolutely won because they abandoned trans rights as a talking point. You have no idea how many peoples single issue with not voting democrats was gender affirming care. They hate it and will tell you in the same breath that circumcision is ok. The only reason so many republicans flipped was because of how bad the economy is performing.

    I’m not saying to abandon trans rights but I think I speak for the majority when I say that running on policy that affects 1% of the population and angers 50% of the population is stupid. Instead of phrasing it to help trans people, we should focus on expanding healthcare access to ALL citizens. Not just trans people.

    The fight isn’t over. The next 2 years will only be about stopping trumps agenda. Without a supermajority Trump will veto every single bill. Our focus should be about restructuring the party so people like Jeffries and other Israel sympathizers take a seat and wait patiently for us to get rid of them.

    I’ll preface this by saying I’m an American who hates Trump, his regime, and everything they stand for.

    Every president has done some version of Venezuela and they always justify it with some Bs so I got to thinking what would I do in a situation where I was president and my intelligence community showed me proof that some dictator in a country that doesn’t really like us was creating nukes. Assuming you have all the correct information and it’s 100% true of course.

    You can go around and around saying you need more info and all that. Let’s just assume they are building nukes and you know they will use it as leverage to harm your people economically or militarily
