NY [Not You]!

We cannot have two years of Temu Democrats.

Let me be clear, no matter historical the achievement is, I strongly oppose the nomination of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as the Speaker of the House.

I view him as ineffective. His weak endorsement of New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, his push to continue funding Israel and his cautious approach on drafting progressive policies is a very defining reason to opposing him.

Jeffries said that Jerusalem is the sixth borough. 

He is the Black Kevin McCarthy.

Jeffries always explains things with his hands.

I vehemently oppose Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as the Senate Majority Leader. I am very opposed to this curmudgeon being in charge of the Democratic led senate. He failed to provide the necessary aid to Angie Nixon, Scott Colom and Abdul El-Sayed. 

Schumer is dry, no humor, condescending and just an old out of touch curmudgeon.

He endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in the primary and tepidly endorsed El-Sayed.

Stevens would end up endorsing Republican Mike Rogers.

Schumer said its his job to keep the left supportive of Israel. He continues to vote against the interest of the progressives.

Several representative-elects and senator-elects are refusing to back Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries due to an appetite for "new blood," frustration over weak resistance to the Trump administration, and the lingering fallout of past legislative compromises. 

Following the November 2026 midterm elections, grassroots progressive organizations like Indivisible have actively called for new leadership, and newly elected lawmakers in states like Texas, Michigan, Kansas, Illinois, and Maine have publicly refused to commit to backing them.

Left-leaning factions and incoming representatives argue that leadership has failed to meet the political moment. Critics contend that Schumer and Jeffries have historically relied on passive resistance, such as writing strongly worded letters, rather than mounting bold, aggressive opposition to the weaponization of government.

In early 2025, Schumer worked with a small group of senators to pass a Republican stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown. This move deeply alienated progressives and disrupted intra-chamber unity with Hakeem Jeffries and House Democrats, severely damaging trust. Incoming candidates in Illinois, like Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, labeled past leadership strategies as "too little, too late".

Both New York leaders have long-standing ties to pro-Israel organizations and historical alignment with traditional U.S. military support for Israel. However, both have faced increasing pressure and shifted their rhetoric; Jeffries has called the Gaza crisis "reprehensible" and noted that Israel should increasingly pay for its own defense, while Schumer has previously criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Despite this, both have largely resisted sweeping cutoffs of military aid.

Tensions are projected to play out over the upcoming National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), potential investigations into U.S. involvement in Middle East conflicts, and progressive-led floor resolutions attempting to block specific offensive weapons sales, a move that drew dozens of Democratic votes in previous sessions.
