Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

    FYI for anyone in his district: Jeffries has a Democratic primary challenger this June — Vance Bostic, a working-class guy who as far as I can tell hasn’t had a lot of press, but if you live in Brooklyn and are a registered Democrat it’s probably worth checking him out.

    Just count Jeffries and congressional Democrats out of everything. They’re determined to do nothing substantive with whatever power we give them, again. They’re a corporate donor maintenance organization, not a political party, not leaders, and certainly not advocates for any civic ideology other than whatever positions reinforce their ability to perform the above maintenance project.

    Looks like there are republican Democrats that need to be replaced as much as Republicans are.

      Yeah. It shows that the current opposition party will always be against a national threat to democracy and pedophilic rapist.

      It puts all of the blame solely on the party destroying everything and shows the democratic constituency that their votes matter.

      I think I am growing to hate the worthless, centrists in this country even more everyday. How does one compromise with a rapist? With a pedophile? How do you compromise with a seditious traitor who sells our secrets to the highest bidder openly?

      The fact we aren’t in a war already shows that the country has already fallen and the Democrats aren’t any way back to normalcy. They COMPROMISE with domestic terrorists that have killed science and education, farmers, cancer patients, children, etc.

      WORTHLESS

      Am impeachment is just a trial. Unless the dens can get enough seats in the Senate that are willing to convict and remove trump an impeachment where Trump refuses all congressional subpoenas for him and the rest of the Epstein administration is meaningless.

    Jeffries has zero say what happens in the next congress. Just like Schumer

    They’ve been lame ducks all but two weeks of this session, and they’re not above saying dumb shit like this to try and get progressives to tune out of the primaries.

    They’re doing triage for the neoliberal faction

    If you don’t like them, vote in your Dem primary for the most progressive options.

      Better yet abandon them all together. Stop trying to breath life into the vision of a party that never existed

    The last 2 times just shows it’s a waste of time until they have the votes in the Senate to convict and remove him from office.

    When asked if impeachment was a top priority, Jeffries said “of course not” during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    He was on fox news when he said this; most likely, given the dems have already tried to impeach trump twice, he was trying to give the fascists a way to rationalize accepting dems winning the house. Besides this is a completely reasonable thing - unless dems win the senate too it shouldn’t be the priority to do something completely pointless.

    You have got to be fucking kidding me. That is quite literally the easiest and most free political slam dunk possible. These people have brain damage.

    they’ll get to it eventually; after they try to get 60 vote threshold votes and potentially succeed - low expectations here though
