☝️ This is an excellent point. #WeThePeople get the opportunity here to prove that our power is not limited to the ballot box, and we intend to hold our elected representatives to act on our behalf, not the interests of the billionaire elite. Choosing a leader is the first, and most critical, of these demands.
We need to press this issue until the job is done. Affecting a change in leadership is part of that job..
It might be a good time to call in and say I pledge to vote for the person who changes leadership so that we have universal healthcare and accountability.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @mastodonmigration Does that party not have any process to deal with leadership issues like that? Like a vote-of-no-confidence to get rid of them?
@ShnoofleBear @GhostOnTheHalfShell
It comes down to a majority vote of the caucus (all the Dem Senators and Senator-elects) that will held in early December. Chuck Schumer is by no means destined to win. Progressive Chris Van Hollen is emerging as a challenger.
@mastodonmigration
If we can depose Schumer publicly, it establishes the political power that can be focused on other targets.
Van Holland is being publicly conscripted. He has the optics of the people’s choice. That’s a little bit difficult for the Democratic leadership to take issue with.
The people want something different and it is required of the Democratic leadership to explain why their personal selfish interest takes precedence over us
