“One of the things that we heard last night, resoundingly across the country, is that we are in … a new movement in this country,” Flanagan said. “Many of us were elected who refused corporate PAC money, who are beholden only to the people who elected us and are ready to fight for bold change. And so I think it’s time for new leadership.”

What if my Senator is Schumer? How do I politely tell him to retire already?
Sir, as one of your constituents I do not feel as though you have acted in accordance with the needs or the will of the people who elected you into office, but rather submitted to the demands of private interests and corporate donors. Your actions, or often lack of action, have caused harm at worst and at best kept positive change from happening. I respectfully ask that you step down and allow the next generation of leadership to enact the will of regular Americans.
Sincerely, dhork.
Extra points for actually signing it that way lmao
Tell him your an average white middle class republican couple and you definitely think he needs to step down for the good of the country.
He’s openly suggested that he’s more loyal to Israel than to the united States. Tell him that’s borderline treason and he’s despicable for supporting genocide. Tell him you want a new rep and a new leader.
Sign your letter “Joe and Eileen Bailey”.
Well, shit, if his imaginary Baileys are asking for it…
Honestly, a campaign signed that way might demoralize him
Something brief that starts with “Off you” and ends with “fuck.”
Tell him you want a more progressive leader in the senate. He should know his constituents don’t want him in charge either
Why be polite?
Honestly, because it’s staffers that receive communications; they can either delete it or log it, and coming at them with (too much) spite might tip them over to ignore you. So politely tell their boss to fuck off, so that message might actually get logged.
Edit: good (but old) article – Wired: What It Takes to Make Congress Actually Listen
They work for a piece of shit. You gonna be polite to a Nazi general because he’s just doing his job? Making all his staff quit would go a long way toward making him actually fuck off, rather than getting your polite “fuck off” message politely delivered to the nearest trash bin so they don’t get fired.
Except that’s not how it works at all. The staff will just delete your message. They’re used to getting death threats and all sorts of fucked up things that they have to report to law enforcement. Nothing you can say would make them quit without also risking prison for yourself
You’re not wrong. My point is that lots of staffers work for shitbags, and to be fair, lots of staffers are shitbags. But if you want your voice to be logged and show up on a chart that might tip the scale, one path might work better than the other.
I don’t think anybody on his staff is concerned with that chart, but do whatever you feel is best. Maybe I’m just too cynical.
MAGA wasn’t worried about that chart. This is the result of that. Hopefully Democrats have gotten the message by now, after this and 2024
Dear Chuckles,
We have decided it is time for you to make way for more capable leadership.
Sincerely,
the Bailey family
Politely tell him he had his turn, and now it’s time for a different democratic leadership and approach.
If he hasn’t already felt how incredibly unwelcome he is, you can politely figure out a way to tell him to “go fuck himself”.
Bully tactics is how people like him ended up in power. Start there. End with a hug and make sure it doesn’t happen again. Better yet, give what’s left of this land back to the natives. They did it better. #LANDBACK
Electing some natives to high offices like New Mexico did is a good start, as long as it’s not done blindly. Power corrupts and they’re just as corruptible as any other human beings are. It’s about deeds, not words, but even dishonest words often contain red flags warning of future deeds. Don’t feel too bad if you get scammed by any given politician, they’re crafty devils, but it doesn’t matter how regularly or how badly you get scammed by the best of them, you’ve still got a responsibility to try to figure out which ones have some truth and respectability left in them.
“I would prefer the democrats to be led by a being not suffering from intellectual unsustainable disparity.”
(Edit: forgot a not, thats pretty important)
At least politely tell him to step down from the leadership position.
Tell him that he’s as good as a politician as his daughter is a comedian.
Tell him to step down 🤣 maybe he’ll listen
