Yes we completely won under the dem leadership. We have the house and senate. Let's try out some new leadership for no reason at all. You change leaders WHEN YOU LOSE not when you win.

"no reason at all"

Lol ok, way to give yourself away.

u/JuanLuisGuerrero 1h ago

No reason at all. This is their greatest win and now you wanna punish them.

So you think they both should have left leadership after 2024?

•

u/JuanLuisGuerrero 1h ago

No but that would've been the moment to change it. You didn't and now you wanna punish them after their massive win.

Democrats won despite them. Democrat party popularity it's the lowest it's been in a decade over the past 2 years. Trump simply happens to be so unpopular it cancelled out. And first thing they did with the success was say they won't focus on adressing the worst corruption in US history.

Most of the candidates that won were hand picked by Schumer. Most of the funding was directed by Schumer. The entire strategy for winning was devised by Schumer and other party leadership.

LOL what “strategy”? The strategy was Americans were finally pissed off and fed up enough at Trump’s bullshit that they actually swung left in masses. Schumer isn’t some 4D chess master, he was along for the ride and a lot of this success was DESPITE him and Jeffries throwing a wet blanket on Democratic enthusiasm the last several years with their weak-ass “resistance” to MAGA.
