    I don’t like or respect Jefferies, but he’s a compromise I could live with

    Why should any of us “live with” a compromise when we dont have to?

      Because we literally do have to. It’s entirely up to the Congress members at this point, and they’ve decided this is the best path forward

      I’ve done nothing but lay out what seem to be the reasoning and benefits of this choice for progressives, but ultimately no one is running against Jefferies. We don’t have a vote in this, it’s not a very good system, but it’s the one we have right now

      I mean, you could write to your congresspeople, but I think getting scheumer out is way more important. There’s benefits to keeping Jefferies, but they do not apply to Schumer… He’s proven willing and able to ratfuck us in a matter of hours
