Since the midterms, I have gone from elation to despair, regarding Jeffries and Schumer. I needed to keep track of whoโs supporting them and whoโs against them, so I built something to keep track.
Itโs called The Record.

Kansas voter here. Actually right in the center, so deep cow country. We are tired. We are broke. We are seeing our friends and neighbors terrorized. What the hell would we want more of the same for? Hope this helps.

Letโs be clear. Chuck Schumer gave Haley Stevens $10m because of her devout love for Israel. He gave Angie Nixon zero because of her opposition to genocide. Haley lost to Abdul (twice!) Angie lost by 238k votes. His selfish, incompetent and treacherous actions cost us a Senate seat.

When Democrats have the power, we have to use it.
Universal childcare. Paid leave. Medicare for All. Abolishing ICE.
No more incrementalism or moderating our aspirations.
We need to do the work of repair, restoration, and reconstruction.

TRAGIC that both sides missed the message of Tuesday's historic elections:
-Trump hiring Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff which will ultimately hurt Republicans.
-And Democrats backing Schumer/Jeffries to lead Democratic party which will hurt Democrats.

Yโall need to stop trying to turn this Hakeem Jeffries situation into a race issue. For many of us, itโs about his unwavering support for Israel while our tax dollars fund what we believe is genocide. And you conveniently leave out that we donโt want Chuck Schumer either. Schumer isnโt Black. The opposition is for the same reason. Itโs about policy, not race.
