Just your daily reminder from Democrats that they suck.

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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

    Why would they bother? It’s a waste of time. Nobody cares how corrupt he is and he won’t be removed.

    Edit: if you guys could stop replying with Reddit right wing talking points, that would be cool

      They won’t bother because they condone what he’s doing. They no longer have to pretend to care about the working class

    To the surprise of no one. They have no interest in removing trump because they support everything he’s done. This is what happens when voters refuse to hold their parties accountable. They blindly and willfully supported a candidate no one wanted, but fell in line when told to do so.
