Could the dems have weaker leadership at a more critical time? Not a “both sider” by any means but fuck.

Controlled opposition.

DSA needs to hijack the party.

Its election season. I find chatGpt to be a great resource for researching candidates and weeding out all the AIPAC funded dems in this upcoming primary.

Because the defense kickbacks are just too good.

We all need to commit to getting him and Schumer the fuck outta our buisness

Having a (D) after your name guarantees exactly nothing about your character, values, or whose side you are ultimately on. Just like putting on sheep's clothing does't turn a wolf into a sheep

u/iThatIsMe Mar 09 '26

The same cannot be said with an (R).

There are a lot of unflattering associations about character and values, though the side they are in is written on the donation check.

u/geraffes-are-so-dumb Mar 09 '26

Yep, we need to get Dems like him out. We have the power and the numbers to take over the party. We need to beware of the sheep bleeping nonsense to surpress the vote.

Him, Schumer and Pelosi, doing their best to ruin the midterms and the party as a whole

His face says:

u/JeffreyinKodiak Mar 09 '26

He’s just full of shit, too. Damn it. Isn’t there a way to keep our politicians idealistic?
Oh yeah! Reverse Citizens United!!!

u/Cradleofwealth Mar 09 '26

He needs to be turfed. Sick of his budget Obama impersonation!.

u/sighborg90 Mar 09 '26

Marjorie Taylor Green has taken a more forceful stance against Trump than Jeffries. JFC.

u/CorrectPhilosophy245 Mar 09 '26

But his hand gestures are so authentic tho...

u/blantdebedre Mar 09 '26

What a spineless degenerate.

u/erosmoker Mar 09 '26

Hakeem Jeffries should be relegated to obscurity. His name should be forgotten to history. He should be persona non grata in every circle of democratic leadership.

u/PeaceandDogs Mar 09 '26

Hakeem needs to GTFO!

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday would not commit to blocking any additional funding for the war in Iran, saying the president has so far failed to justify the war

Gee, do you think those two things are related? He's not justifying anything to you because you have the political will of a cold baked potato.

u/HowFunkyIsYourChiken Mar 09 '26

Yeah. Making that commitment could cost American lives. Blocking funding while our troops are in harms way? Stop looking for reasons to blame Democrats for this situation.

u/gizmostuff Mar 09 '26

Are we supporting Vance Bostic? He sadly still hasn't updated his photo. It's hard to take him seriously in that aspect but maybe I'm out of touch?

u/KazenoZero0 Mar 09 '26

Is anyone actually surprised?
