Neither the Senate nor the House of Representatives is exclusively “more powerful” overall. But you’re right that the House holding power over revenue and taxation is a closer analogue to the lower house in a parliamentary system so yeah in that way Hakeem Jefferies would be the closest thing to an opposition leader.

Fair
The US doesn’t have a parliamentary system so there really isn’t a singular opposition leader outside of election seasons. The senate minority leader is the closest thing to an opposition figurehead, which would make Chuck Schumer the opposition leader.
You’re on .ml it’s literally Marxist Leninist. You’re like an American standing in Mexico complaining about everyone speaking Spanish.

2·2 months agoYeah it’s one of the shows I look forward to showing my kid one day. That and Avatar the Last Airbender. I don’t know if they’ll appreciate it the way I did but who knows, they might show me something contemporary that they feels same sort of connection to.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Outside of politics, have you ever had a position on something that you have doubled down on and refused to move an inch on to the point of upsetting someone? Were you right?English
26·4 months agoI was once a consultant for wine companies. I was working on helping establish a new wine brand. The client was really clear that they did not want to rely on the idea of terroir, nor their vineyards closeness to the ocean as selling points.
My boss thought the brand should use a bunch sails and anchor imagery to sell the terroir and the vineyard’s closeness to the ocean.
I told him the client wouldn’t like it as they’d been clear that’s not what they wanted. He said I was wrong. If he’d told me the client was wrong that would have been fine but he insisted that I had heard it wrong and started gas lighting me.
Turns out the client felt they’d been really clear that they didn’t want a brand that focused on the terroir and closeness to the ocean and refused to pay for that round of work.
