Definición y Cumplimiento del Rol de Liderazgo.
Una parte significativa de la discusión se centra en si Schumer y Jeffries están realizando las tareas específicas de sus cargos (liderazgo de minoría en el Senado y la Cámara, respectivamente) o si se espera que actúen como líderes nacionales de la resistencia, lo cual muchos consideran que excede su mandato.
- Schumer and jeffries are not the leaders of the democratic party, they are the leaders of the house minority and senate minority, and handling legislation is their only job. They are not responsible for firing up anyone.
- Hakeem jeffries and chuck schumers only jobs are to hold their caucuses together as best they can and to operate in congress. Thats it. Theyre not leaders of the resistance.
- This literally is not hakeem jeffries job. Its mindblowing how many people simply have no civics knowledge whatsoever, and imbue a congressional minority leader with powers and responsibilities someone in his position has never carried.
- Jeffries is doing his job, hes just not working on behalf of the democratic party. Hes protecting the 20 of dems that are in leadership but dont reflect the electorate.
Críticas a la Debilidad y Falta de Combate.
Numerosos usuarios expresan frustración por lo que perciben como debilidad, falta de "espina dorsal moral" y una estrategia de resistencia ineficaz frente a los republicanos y Trump, a menudo comparándolos desfavorablemente con líderes anteriores como Nancy Pelosi.
- Do your damn job, jeffries. Where do you stand, what do you stand for? what real actionsnot just words and paperare you taking to dismantle this regime.
- Chuck schumer is a feckless cowardice piece of shit. Hes a corporate ghoul whose only job openly is to serve the interests of a foreign government.
- Jeffries has failed as minority leader. He is feckless and as much a performer as a b-list actor on a second-rate sitcom.
- Schumer and jeffries are not the people for this job. Their messaging is so mixed and incoherent trump consistently talks like a dictator, and they go back and forth between calling it a distraction and penning strongly worded letters to people who just throw them in the dustbin.
- Schumer is a weak old man who is more oblivious than joe biden was at the state of the country right now.
Demandas de Renuncia y Reemplazo.
Una demanda recurrente es que ambos líderes renuncien para dar paso a figuras más enérgicas y combativas, mencionando nombres como Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy o incluso figuras fuera del Congreso como Gavin Newsom.
- Your second job is to hold our own leaders accountable. Too many, like schumer and jeffries, are wholly unprepared for this fight because they appear to lack anything that resembles a moral spine. We must tell them to grow one or to resign and make room for someone who actually will!
- Schumer and jeffries need to go. You know this. They are not up to the job. We dont have time for this bullshit. We need fighters!
- Im sorry but it is patently stupid, insane, and insulting that chuck schumer is still the face of the democratic leadership in the u.s. Senate.
- Spineless jeffries needs to resign and be replaced with a woman who knows how to get the job done not nancy pelosi.
El Rol de la Comunicación y el Mensaje.
Se critica la comunicación de los líderes, considerándola ineficaz, demasiado técnica o enfocada en temas equivocados (como las "kitchen table issues") en lugar de confrontar directamente la amenaza percibida del fascismo.
- Good leaders are effective messengers. Schumer and jeffries are terrible messengers.
- Hakeem jeffries is doing a really good job of making us not give a fuck what he thinks. If thats the goal, mission accomplished.
- A big part of the problem is that schumer and jeffries didnt do the job of informing democrats and left organizations what their position is to message so the left was caught flat-footed unable to amplify.
Defensa de los Líderes y el Contexto de la Minoría.
Una minoría de voces defiende a los líderes, argumentando que las expectativas son poco realistas dada su posición en la minoría, que su trabajo principal es mantener la unidad del caucus, o que las críticas son injustas o incluso racistas.
- Stop it. Just fucking stop it. The republicans are the problem. It is not schumers or jeffries job to do a goddamned thing -- because they cant, because theyre in the minority, because a few thousand assholes refused to vote for a black woman.
- Hakeem jeffries is doing his job, which is making sure the house democrats stick together on votes. Thats his only job and hes doing it well.
- Jeffries has done an excellent job whipping his caucus. Thats his job. To make sure elected dems are unified- looking at voting records, they have been.
- Honestly? i think this type of criticism is par for the course amongst white people-least reliable voting block.
Temas Específicos de Controversia.
Ciertas acciones específicas generaron indignación, como el voto para honrar a Charlie Kirk o las declaraciones de Schumer sobre su trabajo de mantener a la izquierda "pro-Israel".
- Chuck schumer, the dem senate leader, believes it is his job to keep the left pro-israel. The majority of democrats disagree. Step. Down. Chuck.
- I cannot let it go that jeffries and schumer had time to write a book and then go on book tours at such a critical time in this fiasco of an administration.
- I think he scares hakeem jeffries because jeffries knows if mandani comes for his job, hes going to be unemployed.
