"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

    Remember when the democrats had everything for a few years and did basically nothing and kept blaming the republican minority apparently that was bullshit and actually the minority has no power. So either the dems are liars or damned liars.

        We gave them a majority in 2020. Don’t pretend that the two independents that caucused with democrats don’t count. The independents didn’t vote with republicans. Democrats did.
