Dont listen to their words, only watch their actions. By actions alone, these 2 are MAGA.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Didn't realize this was an inappropriate time to try to stop them from kidnapping and murdering people.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Counterpoint: no you fucking won't
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,”
That would be Flight of the Pigs O'Clock.
Well, you know... It's friday.
Chuck Schumer literally governs based off an imaginary republican family he made up in his head who he runs all of his policy decisions by before voting. He has talked about this openly and repeatedly, for years. He calls them the “Baileys” and they voted for Trump.
He's worthless
Holy fuck that's pathetic.
Schumer and Jefferies need to fuck off, and NY voters need to vote in some replacements.
If Mamdani was a start, and if AOC runs, I could see these two panicking!
I'd love to see AOC run for senate and take Schumer's spot.
Oh fuck them.
Genuinely worse than anyone on the right, IMO, who at least tell you to your face what they believe
Personally, I wouldn't care much what exact shade of brown the shit is when somebody is trying to make me eat it.
New York 8 you know what to do -- primary Jeffries. Start looking for your candidate now.
Primary these worthless fucks
No need to wait. The elected Democrats can vote them out of their leadership positions now.
They will not go against the wishes of their donors. They do not represent their voters.
With Democrats like these it doesn't take a genius to wonder why 1/3rd of the US didn't show up to vote.
The Democrats are why we have fascism ascendant in this country by refusing to be an opposition party.
It's so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don't have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can't.
"Well, you guys are trying your best, but there's nothing you can do without the numbers."
"No, no... let's be clear... Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything."
Unseat these cowards
The midterms won’t save us. Pitchforks will.
Useless fucking losers
I just don’t see how anyone can hear this and see them as effective leadership. Minority party or not. Like it makes me, a dedicated left wing person, not want to support democrats because they seem to have lost the plot
They haven’t lost the plot, they like the plot. They don’t agree with you, they don’t like you, they don’t want to help you.
I'm beginning to think they both spent a lot of time raping trafficked children on Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island and need the distraction.
Who needs the diet version of fascists?
Those that refuse to admit that is what they are
Traitors! Bought and paid for by Citizens United.
PRIMARY ALL OF THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS!!!
Unless they are actively opposing this regime, they are complicit. Full stop. Some worse than others, but just replacing Schumer won't do shit if the rest of the Democrats in Congress are the same milk toast centrist corporate assholes.
"Democrats agree with fascism and wont oppose it."
Tell us something we don't know.
Add em to the list
I swear man, people don't hate neoliberals enough. Complete traitors to our country, and for what? Hard times require strong, courageous people to take charge and lead. The average American that voted for Harris in 2024 has more love for this country and bigger balls than these people ever will. Absolute cowards.
I am so disappointed in Jeffries. When Pelosi stepped back, I thought we might get some change but that was dumb of me to think a Democrat would have a spine. They are so floppy.
Controlled opposition operating accordingly
Spineless cowards
The useless duo
Many of their rich donors rely on the exploitation of undocumented workers to make crap ton of money. So of course they don't want to actually clamp down on ICE or provide better pathways to citizenship...
Undocumented workers are cheap labor and are usually obedient out of fear. There have been plenty of reported cases of farmers and/or companies calling ICE on their workers to weasel out of paying them (wage theft). Even documented workers aren't safe, given that their green cards and/or work visas are tied to their job. So if they report poor working conditions or wage theft to authorities, they'll likely be forced to leave the U.S.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time," Jeffries told reporters.
The DNC and their donors are all on board
