Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going to have to smooth things over with congressional Democrats after backing several progressive candidates who ousted incumbents during Tuesday’s primary elections.

Asked if Mamdani’s endorsements were making him “enemies” with Democrats in Washington, D.C., Jeffries told CNN that he and Mamdani “strongly” disagreed over his primary picks ahead of Election Day.

Now, according to Jeffries, the mayor has serious “work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.”

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.

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

They discussed it a bit on this week's episode of Left Reckoning, but here's an article about it as well: https://www.newsweek.com/jasmine-crockett-unsure-shell-support-talarico-campaign-12097308

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.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

Sucks to fucking suck

Only through unity and voting for progressives will the US make it out of this quagmire against the Nazi Magats.

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 3 points 13 hours ago

It's time for the liberals to vote blue no matter who.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Jefferies can go fuck himself.

That Zionist, Israel paid, genocide loving asshole should be yeeted into the fucking sun along with all other establishment Dems.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 6 points 17 hours ago

Smooth things over... like with a steamroller? No, Mamdani is not a violent person, but the conversations with Congressional Democrats should all be along the lines of, "buh-bye."

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 17 hours ago

Hey Hakeem Jeffery how about doing something meaningful and helpful for your constituents and the country at large. Rather than being just another spineless, feckless coward? How about understanding that the people choice Mandani and the candidates he supported? How about understanding that the people are fed the fuck up with you and the establishment’s endorsement of right wing and far right wing ideals? Have you considered that asshole? Doubt it. Send another strongly worded letter, surely the 11,000th one will be the one that will finally impact change…
