"Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are architects of the crisis that allowed Trump's fascism to arise and succeed," argued one progressive organizer. "They have zero credibility to be leading the fights we face today."

    BULLSHIT.

    You wanted them to shut up during the election too. You don’t care what happens as long as anyone to your left and only your left shuts up.

      I wanted them to speak up and keep Trump out to keep this from happening.

      Besides that whatever you think you know about me I’m afraid you don’t.

            As of the final few months of the campaign, and Harris made it clear that she wasn’t going to differ from Biden on the issue.

            What did you say to people that wanted Biden/Harris to stop supporting genocide?

            Dodge the question harder.
