It's not a rebellion. It is that we want a party, we voted for to represent us. It's not their party, it's the voters party.

If Jeffries or Schumer gets put in power then we know that America is truly not a republic. And the jokes the citizens once again.
Get rid of two people. Do it.
Wait wait wait. Hold the fuck on.
Democrat voters Rebel.
No, this is not rebellion. This is demanding representation.
Will the party read the fucking room though?
Party says no, the donors want different.
We demand representation that doesn’t immediately go suck Trump off because AIPAC demands it.
sorry best they can do is give trump an extra sloppy bj because AIPAC demands it.
wish i could apply /s...
I recently read Jeffries is in the Epstein files and begged for money. That would explain why he acts like a republican in disguise.
The files that have been released show that he solicited money (campaign donations, iirc,) from Epstein. Im not sure when.
They do not show that he’s done anything more than that, though it’s enough to be more than wary.
A rebellion would imply that he has some entitlement to the seat
He seems to think that it is the case.
Exactly. He failed us. Repeatedly. He should resign immediately, for failing to represent his supporters, but you know he won't.
He does represent his supporters, but they aren’t you and me. They’re the oligarchs.
Yep. Fuck both those fuckers. Get new blood in.
I would say that we need competent blood. These corporate, AIPAC shills will just replace them with the next Haley Stevens in line.
I kinda don’t think they will. I think Van Holland is probably going to become speaker, and he’s the leader of the Fight Club. The time has come.
Don’t forget Booker, Pelosi, centrist and Republican-lite folks like Manchin, and other “we go high” limp noodlers, too.
NO NEOLIBERAL FASCIST COLLABORATORS. NO “REFORMING” ICE… ONLY COMPLETE DISMANTLING AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.
Why use Manchin when we have Fetterman
Is he still pretending to be a Democrat?
Just like Manchin did
Sign the petition. It's quick and potentially impactful.
Change.org is a great way to feel like you did something, while doing nothing at all.
Call and write your representative, that way you are actually heard.
Definitely agree that calling and writing your representatives is more effective, apps like “5 calls” can help you automatically connect and provides a script to read from: https://5calls.org/issue/house-senate-leadership/
Do both
Did you know that people who post these polls get paid per signature on Change.org? It's an engagement grift.
Literally don't sign the Chang.org petition. It is a waste of time, and legitimizes a useless service.
Contact your representatives directly and tell them what you think. Stop believing that social media websites have your best interests in mind.

According to change.org, they get paid 95% of donations made to that specific campaign. Do you have any reputable, non-social media sources that substantiates this "per signature" claim? I gave it an admittedly cursory search and couldn't find anything that wasn't an unsubstantiated social media post.

100% agree. Even if change.org is largely benign, it's the type of media that serves to alleviate frustration without driving any actual change: a great recipe for maintaining the status quo.
They are a non-profit, how are they able to pay for signatures?
After doing a little digging, it seems to be an unsubstantiated rumor being spread via social media, but I asked op if they have any legitimate sources.
Using resistbot would do far more and tallies up numbers just the same.
Yeees...yeeeeeesss.....push them kicking and screaming into a new era of democratic leadership!
I realize now why he met with Kushner. I think he was jealous Mamdani had established a relationship with the President and as a result felt upstaged. So in his fragile little mind he thought meeting with Jared would demonstrate a similar type of political power.
Jefferies is an AIPAC recipient. Kushner is Trump's bribery guy. And Israel's as well. Maybe Russia and the Saudies.
Point being, there's only one reason to meet with Kushner, and that's some form of bribery.
He isn't merely an AIPAC recipient. He is one of the top 20 recipients of AIPAC/Pro-Israel money in American politics.
A separate OpenSecrets historical table puts Jeffries' total from pro-Israel PACs and individuals at $1,741,230 through the 2024 election cycle. That placed Jeffries 11th among the top 20 recipients listed and slightly ahead of fellow New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, at $1,727,974.
Israel is paying these two millions to keep American tax dollars flowing. I for one am sick of my tax dollars going to Israel so they can give their citizens free healthcare and higher education while we pay for their fucking war.
GET OUT!
I really hope this momentum to push out Schumer and Jeffries is real and we can actually get new leadership in
Yet the new York times is reporting he has the votes
It's not so much that he has the votes, it's that no one has tossed their hat into the ring for the job. He's basically running unopposed.
Isn’t it a little early for this? We’re just getting off the election. Hell, have they even finished with Mississippi and Alaska?
Jeffries is trying to get ahead of the pack… and the general public has been like… “fuck you!” For it.
No, it's not too early. The leadership of both houses starting in January is being decided now. Now is exactly the time for this.
And people are not sayin "Fuck you!" because he's getting ahead of the pack, they're saying it because he is not the person that should be leading the House. He has said he is not interested in impeaching Trump despite the the myriad high crimes and misdemeanors Trump is clearly guilty off, saying "The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." That may even be true, but one of the major things Americans want done is Medicare for All, and you know what? He's publicly come out against that too. Finally, he is in the top 20 recipients of Pro-Israel/AIPAC money in Congress according to Opensecrets.org. He, like Schumer, is focused on sending our tax money to Israel (whose people already get free health care) rather than taking care of the needs of the American people who put the Democrats in charge of Congress.
He and Schumer and the rest of the old guard need to piss off.
Jeffries might want to run it by the Minority Leader first. What if the GOP prefers a different Speaker? I fear there isn't enough reaching across the aisle here.
That's why they call him Hakeem "If you're still on your side of the aisle, you haven't reached far enough" Jeffries.
