      It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

    He also said that “purity tests” within the party have led to more division in the US.

    What he’s saying is he wants more Conservatives in the Democratic party.

    F this guy and his failure of Democratic leadership.

    Motherfucker filibustered for over 24 hours, fasted in preparation to do so, only to undo every fucking word he spewed by voting in Trump’s nominees.

      It wasn’t a filibuster. No legislation was being held up. He just gave a long speech as a performance piece. People keep trying to say he had the longest filibuster, but it literally wasn’t one.

        He’s the 2nd most pathetic out of all the Dems besides Schumer. This dude only cares for appearing to do anything, but never actually does anything because he’s a bought centrist.

        He’s either kicking himself out of office, or demanding his own sexual liberation.

    Objectively fucking hilarious.

    This man has been responsible for stomping down the voices who seek to replace him. AOC, Mamdani, Ossof, Platner…keep naming them.

    He is no different than Schumer. Fuck both of you.

      Yeah that was all practice for his upcoming imminent presidential bid.

      Don’t worry he’ll do the same thing to the people that came before him too.

    Schumer’s preference for centrist candidates

    That is code for zionist first candidates. His extreme loyalty to Israel is disqualifying.

    Yep, we all agree, he needs to be replaced or taken out of the leadership position. We will not forget that he and schumer voted to end the shut down we were winning for no reason that I can see.

        Well fuck, that’s embarrassing. I thought they were the same guy until I just compared a video of Jeffrie and Booker. I guess I put them in the same category of shitty.

        To be clear, these guys don’t need to be perfect, but they clearly are looking out for their own interests.

          Easy way to know the difference between the two. Booker is fucking Rosario Dawson.

          Jeffries isn’t.

    “‘I’ve called for a generational renewal, because this left-right divide is killing our country and our adversaries know it.’ He also said that ‘purity tests’ within the party have led to more division in the US.”

    yeah this is kind of the opposite issue of what anyone competent would want to address with chuck schumer
