As annoying as Torres is, Jeffries is the far more important one to boot out immediately. Schumer has to be forcefully evicted as well.
I’ll be honest though. If the proposed replacements aren’t solidly hardline anti-Israel, anti-imperialist, anti-ICE (abolition AND MORE IMPORTANTLY prosecution of every single person connected even tangentially to it), etc. then… why bother? Getting a less assholish asshole is still getting an asshole. Lesser evil stuff repeated. I find it infinitely hard to believe anyone with (D) in their title will be even close to my personal criteria above despite that stuff polling well. Especially explicitly anti-Israel. It’s got like 96% democrat voter support. You’d probably get elected just saying you’ll propose a bill yearly to carpet bomb Tel Aviv. Like that Roman senator who used to always say “Oh, just one more thing. We must destroy Carthage” or whatever. Nerds know who I mean. The famous asshole. This time for good.
Personally, I think a challenge to Jeffries is coming alongside a challenge to Schumer. The way AOC is posturing seems as though a run for president or senate is coming. AOC isn’t perfect but would be a hell of a lot better than Schumer and wouldn’t take a ton of heavy DSA lifting to win that election. If she were able to campaign alongside somebody challenging Jeffries in NY I think it would be a pretty easy two-for-one campaign.
Didn’t say I want the DSA to dissolve or that I want AOC to fail, I just don’t see what liberal infighting has to do with socialism. I will admit I’d like to see fake socialists discredited because I think that actually helps us.
If AOC was the right wing of the democrats things would definitely be better. I’m not a New Yorker but if she replaced Schumer that would be a good thing for sure. Schumer has quite literally done nothing positive in his position for however long that’s been. I want to say 8-12 years. I used to wonder what that piece of shit was even doing in politics. Now I get it. He just loves Israel.

I 100% agree with everything you said

“Isn’t perfect” lmfao
I supposed we’d prefer Chuck Schumer
I’d prefer Chuck Schumer be in a gas chamber but saying AOC isn’t perfect is like saying Mitt Romney isn’t quite as progressive as we’d like.
Trying to figure out what a beliefs a person has who wants to see DSA dissolve but not AOC prominently fail
