Get the fuck out then
Unrelated, isn’t this so cute?
The first job of the new Dem Congress after the Midterm, is to immediately replace the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries. If they don’t work for the other side, they might as well be. Get rid of them.
We all know this, but I am surprised that he actually admits it publicly.
But… perhaps there’s no point in manipulating the public. It’s not as if there’s a viable alternative.
Meanwhile, he has the very best healthcare on Earth, all thanks to US taxpayers.
This is just one more reason why our major parties continue to lose voters every year. Rs are now 30%, Ds are now 30%, and Independents are up to 40% (many polls, pick your favorite).
Greens led by a cunt that dines at Putin’s table don’t count.
Why is Hakeem Jefferies?
But why male models.
This US supreme court needs to be at least… THREE times bigger… I have a vision…
You… you serious?
Man he sucks. He makes voting for the dems hard.
Time to clean up the Dem party. Vote blue no matter who goes both ways!
I’m not sure it matters who goes both ways, but I will agree.
Why wasn’t he primaried, New York?
DSA member Chi Osse wanted to challenge Jeffries, but the DSA narrowly dropped him because Zohran Mamdani told DSA not to primary Jeffries.
So you can thank Zohran Mamadani for this.
Ok well move aside then asshole and let people take over who actually DO give a damn.
I don’t support Hakeem Jeffries, so I guess we’re even?
Well then, vote Hakeem out of politics he is definitely not serving for the people.
One of his few good points, and it may be accidental is that it’s hard to sell a tax increase.
My health insurance premium is way higher than my Medicare tax, so I can recognize that tripling the Medicare tax in my income bracket in order to support Medicare for all will actually save me money.
But there are a lot of people who would stop at tripling the Medicare tax is bad. It would be a hard sell to get past that.
The only real problem with tripling the Medicare tax is that it’s a fixed percentage and is capped, but really ought to be progressive with no cap
It’s ONE of the MOST Difficult things to Tell people their Monthly costs will
LOWER!Be LESS!SAVE Money!I cant’ even do it!Selling a good thing like Medicare for all is a skills issue at this point. And if we keep hiring Democrats who lack that level of communication skills, then don’t blame the voters for failing to know what is at stake.
It’s one of those things that boggles me. People will happily hundreds of dollars a month for a ‘service’ they barely use and is notorious for finding ways to not honor providing the service for any number of reasons.
But the second you rephrase it as a tax, even a tax that would cost them less and provide them better services, they just don’t want any part of it and cling to the broken model like any kind of tax is an impediment of their rights.
This is why the idea of “Medicare for those who want it” seems appealing to me. Until you reach a certain threshold (say, 70%), make both the tax and benefits optional.
It’s not optimal by any stretch but it’s easier to sell it as an optional tax and benefit.
Welp, I don’t support Hakeem Jeffries. So, there you go.
What happened to his primary opponents? He was scheduled for a primary election this uear but it says both of his opponents either dropped out or were disqualified and I can’t find info on that.
WhAt you wAnT tRumP to win?!??!??!??!???!!
Vote blue no matter who! 🤪
Jeffries appears to have moved past his primary election unopposed, so yes indeed people should vote for him in November.
Can he drum up sufficient support, though?
The “idc what happens i’m sure the blues will win somehow” voting block is doing pretty well these days.
Well right now he’s doing the opposite of drumming up support by stating his opposition to near-universally popular policies and attacking the most energized portion of the base.
Supporting him is done by us not him, so how we speak and how we act will decide. Start by downvoting divisive posts like this.
Why is it “divisive” to report on what Hakeem says, but it’s not “divisive” for him to say it?
Why do you assume we’re worse than him?
Who’s we?
Yeah I’m sure a downvote from the comfort of your desk helps at the ballot box.
You’ve never heard of a primary, have you?
Ah yes, the ancient Roman custom of primaries. Magnus Magnentius winning the primary against Constans is one of the most famous primaries in history.
Sure have.
Looking forward to your support of El-Sayed!
El-Sayed won his primary, so you’re welcome.
Also, El-Sayed isn’t a current DSA member.
He’d have my vote if I lived in Michigan
You like where we’re at?
This is why we are we are.
The fact that establishment Dems roll over against Republicans should tell you everything you need to know.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/does-hakeem-jeffries-support-medicare-for-all
Explain the functional difference between rolling over and not participating at all?
Non sequitur.
You not understanding the relevance is not the same as it not being relevant
Are you still here making strawman arguments, pretending you won the debate?
Don’t hurt your arm patting yourself on the back.
Your reward for “winning” is this video: Love Me, I’m A Liberal
You dumb Cunt
And to think, I helped get this guy elected to the Senate for his first term. I campaigned for this asshole. I canvassed. I had a lanyard. I had a clipboard. I knocked on doors. I convinced others to vote for him.
I met him and shook his hand. and this motherfucker lied right to my goddamn face.
I feel fucking dirty, and I feel disgusting for spreading that filth to others
Edit: the Hakeem Jeffries wasn’t in front of the Javiz Center at the BLM protest… But I was and I can bring that fight to the next election… And the next. Didn’t bet on that did you, Hakeem? Well, fuck you. And fuck that horse of entitlement you rode in on.
You know what else survived the NYPD crackdown at the Javits center? This watch (cracks courtesy of the NYPD):
And this watch says your time has run out.
I can only hope a lot of MAGA voters feel betrayed the same way. That pretty optimistic though, trump has his stupid cult of personality around him. Plus he’s actually following through on a lot of his campaign promises, unlike the lying dem mfs.
I saw a recent video of an interview with the Trump voter that said they regretted voting for Donald Trump because “ICE wasn’t hurting the right people“
These people who voted for Trump are fucking sociopaths, just like Trump. they have nothing but hate in their hearts, and they voted for Trump because they wanted to hurt others. they voted for Trump because they believed he would be the agent of pain and destruction for fellow Americans that they did not like. people like you and me.
It’s like that video of the old man crying on the news weeping because his Haitian wife got dragged off to the concentration camps, with him crying “but I’m a business owner! I voted for Trump three times! Why did he come after my wife?“ Why did you think you were special, asshole?
Thanks for volunteering! It sucks to see this but you’ll know better next time.
What I know is that the NYPD are fascist motherfuckers, and next time I’ll be better prepared to dodge a baton
Calm down, guy, the Primary for NY district 8 ended already. Like it or not we want Jeffries to win in November, because even if you don’t believe his words you definitely shouldn’t believe the child rape and human cattle party that is the GOP.
Calm down, guy,
Reign it in, Cuntalicious— this story was from 2011-2012. Were you ever born then? Lmao.
And just because Jeffries isn’t currently being challenged for his district, doesn’t mean he isn’t a Titanic piece of shit. It also doesn’t mean that you aren’t a Titanic piece of shit for trying to stick up for him. Really, what is he done that you are willing to defend? Fuck you.
I bet you don’t even live in this district, ya poser.
Him not being a Republican is still enough to defend with everything we have in November. He wants to reform the scotus and undo cuts to medicare and social security. We need him to win in Novemver so go get your fucking canvassing clipboard out.
How about you demand better from the dems for once in your life?
He’s even not up for reelection in November, and won’t be until 2028
I stand corrected, not that it’s much of a race
You know, if you have a strong argument you don’t need to resort to aggression and name calling.
I don’t think this is an argument. OP has a personal vendetta with a high pfofile figure and telling him to “calm down we need him” doesn’t remove that betrayal. He wasn’t even disagreeing with the reply. Just asserting what we all already know in that Jeffries does not have the people’s priorities in mind.
Him not being as bad as a literal nazi isn’t a high bar to meet.
When I have a weak argument, I like to go with the “God told me I’m right in a vision, unbeliever” option. Works every time.
Research into rhetoric disagrees if the person is using themselves as part of the argument. If they bring in their credibility then an ad hominem is rhetorically the correct response.
With that fun fact of the way, in this instance I think you are right.
Find someone who looks at you like Hakeem looks at a war criminal.
