Welcome to actual democracy, fuck face. Jeffries is an embarrassment. You want your shitty candidates to win? Put up better candidates. Mamdani isn't a congressional rep. He can do whatever the fuck he wants and Jefferies can cry about it to Israel, his true ally.
Fuck off with that, DINO
Mamdani for president!
He was not born in the US so he is not allowed to run for president
That's not the bar. You have to be a natural US citizen. You can be born outside of the US with US parents and you would be a natural citizen. Ted Cruz was allowed to run despite being born in Canada because his parents were US citizens. It's just one of the many reasons the whole Obama birth certificate thing was stupid. Even if he was born in Kenya he still would have been eligible because is mom is a US citizen.
You can be a natural-born citizen if you're born in another country to parents who are US citizens. Mamdani's parents weren't US citizens, he wasn't born in the US, and he is not a natural-born citizen. He is a naturalized citizen, which is a different thing, and he is ineligible to run for president under the current US Constitution (which I guess technically still exists?)
he has to apologize for being aligned with what voters want? isn't that, as political scientists call it, the whole fucking point of democracy?
You of course know that america isn't really a democracy. It's a republic by design. And of course what it is in reality is a whole nuther something.
“work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.”
Hilarious that he's so worked up about a fucking mayor..... Like what is Congress going to do to a mayor if he doesn't want to talk to congressional members?
Is Jeffries getting whitening therapy or has he just been dead long enough for that pastiness to set in?
Oh no how unfortunate.
Fuck Jeffries, he is not a "top Democrat" he's been a lame duck for all but two weeks of this term because neoliberals lost the DNC and the accompanying victory fund right after his leadership election.
He has no political power in congress, and no one from his own party has reason to listen to him.
He might as well be an empty chair, but he definitely ain't winning a House leadership position again.
He's a traitor to regular people and workers everywhere.
How about Dem leadership has some "serious work to do" to smooth things over with New York voters for failing to represent them?
Mdgaf
Mamdani don't give a fuck
Jeffries can suck a fart through a hose. Calling that man inept would be a grave insult to the proud, inept people of the world.
Well guess what, Hakeem, we're sick of your establishment asses. We want actual things to get done and actual change to happen and have some people representing us with some fucking balls who understand modern problems. We want people who can't be bought. We want people who aren't just going with the flow and doing what the opposite side wants anyway. You and Chuck Schumer are not it.
Hey Hakeem, EAT SHIT!
At first I was kind of surprised when I saw that this seemingly positively progressive headline was coming from HuffPost. And then I read the article. And it is a typical HuffPost article.
These people won't learn until we beat it into them with our votes.
I hope Mamdani's "work" involves telling these people to go fuck themselves with a big smile.
🎶Vote blue no matter whooooooo🎶
Yeah cause he know he's gonna get primaried next lol
His primary was yesterday too, and he was unopposed. If he's getting primaried it won't be until at least 2028.
If Mamdani’s picks are elected to Congress, it seems to me it’s Jeffries who’s going to need to do some serious work. Of the non-Congressional kind.
Fuckin’ democracy, always getting in the way of the Democrats.
Stuff it, Jeffries you wet sock
Fuck ALL the way off you corporate shill.
I bet Jeffries and schumer will wright them a strongly worded letter.
You lose because you're weak and we fucking know it and we're fucking done with that weak ass shit.
Why? Congressional and establishment Democrats did everything they could to sabotage his campaign, as well as the campaigns of every Progressive out there - and they got elected because they're actually working for change, not just facism-lite.
