“Schumer is bad at his job,” said one organizer. “Jeffries is not ready for this moment.”
After a Democratic “tsunami” in this week’s midterm elections that has been widely seen as “a mandate to deliver big change,” progressives within and beyond Congress have cast doubt on whether the New York Democrats likely to lead both chambers are actually up for facing Donald Trump’s veto threats and fighting for the “bold agenda” sought by US voters.
As critics of artificial intelligence data centers prepared for a Friday protest outside the Brooklyn home of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over a “dirty” bill that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is suddenly speaking out about, political organizer Corbin Trent argued that “Schumer is bad at his job” and “Jeffries is not ready for this moment.”
One issue is that Dems are better for all of those issues and that was the same in '24, and didn’t matter since most don’t understand these details. They blamed Dems for the steady and best recovery from the pandemic, for things that were not their fault, they don’t really know this stuff and use feels instead. The current price issues are from the senseless tariffs and war, which wouldn’t have with Harris. Maybe the companies would have raised prices for higher profits anyway to make her look bad and they’d fall for it too.
They flip flop, didn’t like prices that the world was also dealing with, and flipped to maga, then back to Dems now. If they used logic and looked at the platforms and see what policies work well elsewhere, what aligns with those, they would stay with Dems as the best chance for progress, but they don’t, and consistently flop around willy-nilly, with the winds, whatever their tiktok told them or for group bonding.
I’m not sure what point relevant to my reply you’re trying to make.
