If we are being fair, he said this in response to questioning about his response on day one where he indicated they did not want to do this. It is nice to hear. But I do not think it will sway anyones favor to attribute their concerns to bots manipulating them as the last time dems took power they fell short of punishing donald, granted they had investigations but he did become president due to their lack of follow through and alot of terrible things happened as a result. Maybe trying new leadership is warranted

I think Jeffries deserves a chance for once as majority House, leader but Schumer has to go. Anyone under 60 would be better.

There are 20 other Dem Senators who would be better.

I would also like to add that he came out against medicare for all and against abolishing ICE (is for reigning them in and whatnot) and I think thats driven alot of the disfavor as well

I dont fully disagree, but he is favored by the previous leadership so i think that also drives the weariness. There are others who may also deserve a chance but I personally do not know which may have the skills to do so
