@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I know it's been going around Mastodon, but I'll post the petition to encourage Pressley to challenge Jeffries here. Having someone step up in the next week or so is the only way we get a new speaker: https://www.change.org/p/make-ayanna-pressley-the-speaker-of-the-house

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social #alttext qasimrashid So to recap: 84% of Dems support Medicare for All-Schumer & Jeffries oppose 73% of Dems want to abolish ICE-Schumer & Jeffries support ICE 72% of Dems want to end or decrease aid to Israel-Schumer & Jeffries support more aid It shocks the conscience to elect two leaders so deeply out of touch with the Party-especially when we have two amazing leaders in Van Hollen and Pressley who are so qualified and aligned with the Party.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I think it would be illustrative to document the "shadow caucus" for the issues we care about as people. Is there a common lobbyist or other factor for all the electeds who align against or for a given issue? We need this data to understand whose opinions matter to our politicians.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Unfortunately, leadership positions are not elected by voters, and progressive Dems in Congress are outnumbered by the AIPAC stooges. There is very little democratic about the Democratic Party.
