Thoughtful, inclusive, encompassing article and excellent goals. Well done!

We have *very *little *time to make the statement and take clear, powerful, we-mean-business-don’t-test-us actions that drive that message home to the euphoric, newly elected Democrats.

So, how do we do it? What are the first, clear steps? What, exactly, should we do?

We have not elected saints and saviors. We are looking at humans who have the same motivations and weaknesses that those they replace have. In short, we must be crystal clear that the same fate awaits any D who tests the will and wellbeing of those who elected them.

What do we do to effectively, immediately, put them on notice?

Yes , Americans want real change to remedy the weaknesses of the system . These two expired leaders have had their chance …. Times up . We need new voices . Repair is needed but also a new perspective and big changes .

And yes - accountability…. Crimes were committed… laws apply to everyone . We want those who broke laws to be prosecuted. Jeffries made a huge blunder …. He’s out of touch with the rage of the people.

And I agree with most of your points that need to be addressed so the corruption is checked . But we also need to correct the SCOTUS errors . Reinstated Roe v Wade . End Citizens United . SCOTUS term and age limits and ethics rules should be strictly enforced - a few need to be impeached for their actions and their behavior. It’s a long list and frankly neither Schumer or Jeffries has what it takes . We need change at all levels . And frankly - we are out of patience . Wake up democrats…. We need to grab this bull by the horns . It’s now or never .

Great work and I love it

Now, that the Democrats have the two chambers it is a perfect time to eliminate Citizens United: money and corruption

Thank you so much for your time and support for a new beginning

What do we need to do to prevent Jefferies & Schumer from being elected leaders of the house & senate?

They will be the downfall of the democrat party and ruin our chances for a 2028 tri-fecta!

Schumer out - I don’t even want to discuss ; he would meet term/age limit criteria if they were in effect. He will finish his term, he will /should gracefully step aside from the senate majority leadership. I do t care how great he is/was, how much anyone loves him. He meets term/age limit criteria IF they are in effect. If he were a McConnell for the team? Ok - but he ain’t that.

Jeffries needs to answer to the meeting with Kushner , because Kushner under investigation. It was his choice - he forfeits the leadership position as a result . Gracefully step aside for the good of the party.
