    He represents AIPAC and AIPAC won the majority so I guess it makes sense that he is the speaker of the genocide supporting majority

      I think it’ll be the moment a good chunk of people remember realising the Democratic party can’t be reformed, yeah.

      Oh you meant-

    If you are an American with either a Democratic senator or house rep (or senate/house elect rep), you should write them as well.

      Sure, feel free to organize demonstrations. That might convince them to choose other leadership. As well as contacting your representatives of course.

      Don’t claim they aren’t listening though. Some may be deaf, but others hear. Politics is about numbers. So don’t give up without trying.

      Didn’t take long to get it over a million, and we still have nearly two months till the next Congress.

      But everyone who signs it needs to also contact their representatives.

      I understand he got the position by being the only person who wanted it.

      It might be more productive to name a candidate rather than the more nebulous “anyone but Hakeem Jeffries”. Ro Khanna seems like he could do a good job but I have heard no indication that he wants to do the job.

        Ro Khanna for Speaker, that I can get behind!

        Some more options: Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, Robert Garcia

        Feel free to add to the list, and mention your top choices when you email your representatives to say No to Jeffries

          FWIW, in her victory speach the other day, Jayapal said she’s heading the immigration subcommittee and that there WILL be investigations and people WILL be going to jail. 🥰

            I’ll respect your opinion but I’d be cool with either one.

            Is there a reason you’re against Jamie? He always struck me as stellar, but if there’s something I don’t know… (I’m bracing myself for heartache…)

              Corporate Democrat. Blumenthal too.

              Oooh look, zio funded by j-street too.

              Normally I’d prefer open secrets but it wasn’t behaving for some reason (non-responsive buttons).

                That’s disappointing… :( I thought he was a progressive?

                I’ve seen him do great work on committees on CSPAN
