Welp, I don’t support Hakeem Jeffries. So, there you go.
What happened to his primary opponents? He was scheduled for a primary election this uear but it says both of his opponents either dropped out or were disqualified and I can’t find info on that.
You dumb Cunt
And to think, I helped get this guy elected to the Senate for his first term. I campaigned for this asshole. I canvassed. I had a lanyard. I had a clipboard. I knocked on doors. I convinced others to vote for him.
I met him and shook his hand. and this motherfucker lied right to my goddamn face.
I feel fucking dirty, and I feel disgusting for spreading that filth to others
Edit: the Hakeem Jeffries wasn’t in front of the Javiz Center at the BLM protest… But I was and I can bring that fight to the next election… And the next. Didn’t bet on that did you, Hakeem? Well, fuck you. And fuck that horse of entitlement you rode in on.
You know what else survived the NYPD crackdown at the Javits center? This watch (cracks courtesy of the NYPD):
And this watch says your time has run out.
I can only hope a lot of MAGA voters feel betrayed the same way. That pretty optimistic though, trump has his stupid cult of personality around him. Plus he’s actually following through on a lot of his campaign promises, unlike the lying dem mfs.
I saw a recent video of an interview with the Trump voter that said they regretted voting for Donald Trump because “ICE wasn’t hurting the right people“
These people who voted for Trump are fucking sociopaths, just like Trump. they have nothing but hate in their hearts, and they voted for Trump because they wanted to hurt others. they voted for Trump because they believed he would be the agent of pain and destruction for fellow Americans that they did not like. people like you and me.
It’s like that video of the old man crying on the news weeping because his Haitian wife got dragged off to the concentration camps, with him crying “but I’m a business owner! I voted for Trump three times! Why did he come after my wife?“ Why did you think you were special, asshole?
Thanks for volunteering! It sucks to see this but you’ll know better next time.
What I know is that the NYPD are fascist motherfuckers, and next time I’ll be better prepared to dodge a baton
Calm down, guy, the Primary for NY district 8 ended already. Like it or not we want Jeffries to win in November, because even if you don’t believe his words you definitely shouldn’t believe the child rape and human cattle party that is the GOP.
Calm down, guy,
Reign it in, Cuntalicious— this story was from 2011-2012. Were you ever born then? Lmao.
And just because Jeffries isn’t currently being challenged for his district, doesn’t mean he isn’t a Titanic piece of shit. It also doesn’t mean that you aren’t a Titanic piece of shit for trying to stick up for him. Really, what is he done that you are willing to defend? Fuck you.
I bet you don’t even live in this district, ya poser.
Him not being a Republican is still enough to defend with everything we have in November. He wants to reform the scotus and undo cuts to medicare and social security. We need him to win in Novemver so go get your fucking canvassing clipboard out.
How about you demand better from the dems for once in your life?
He’s even not up for reelection in November, and won’t be until 2028
I stand corrected, not that it’s much of a race
You know, if you have a strong argument you don’t need to resort to aggression and name calling.
I don’t think this is an argument. OP has a personal vendetta with a high pfofile figure and telling him to “calm down we need him” doesn’t remove that betrayal. He wasn’t even disagreeing with the reply. Just asserting what we all already know in that Jeffries does not have the people’s priorities in mind.
Him not being as bad as a literal nazi isn’t a high bar to meet.
When I have a weak argument, I like to go with the “God told me I’m right in a vision, unbeliever” option. Works every time.
Research into rhetoric disagrees if the person is using themselves as part of the argument. If they bring in their credibility then an ad hominem is rhetorically the correct response.
With that fun fact of the way, in this instance I think you are right.
Find someone who looks at you like Hakeem looks at a war criminal.
Step one: get rid of the Nazis
Step two: get rid of moderate Democrats
The Overton window has shifted so far that this dude would be hard right anywhere else in the civilized world.
We are the moderates. Current Dem leadership are regressive.
Ok but nazis first right
Yes. Order of operations and all that.
You gotta do both at the same time or you won’t get rid of either of them. If they act as a unified bloc we should treat them as such.
In one fell swoop? We don’t have that choice, and even if we did, the numbers aren’t there. If it is a decision between a Republican and a centrist Democrat, I’ll take the centrist no contest. You have to vote for social democrats in the primaries first. In general elections, I just vote against Republicans.
The strategy you describe is concurrent, or as concurrent as it can be. If you’re a stickler for details it’s actually the reverse of the order of operations you laid out, since the primary comes before the general.

Instead, Jeffries argued Democrats should focus on making healthcare more affordable by reversing Republican-enacted Medicaid cuts and extending Affordable Care Act tax credits that he said have helped millions of Americans manage insurance costs.
So basically he’s saying that now that Republicans hamstringed our healthcare, we should change our goals and just go back to how things were??? I feel like this is the most obvious it has ever been that establishment dems are NOT on our (the people’s) side.
TBF Jeffries cosponsored single payer bills for a decade. It’s probably a better indication of his specific decline rather than the party itself.
Jeffries needs to win in November, though.
He’s going to lose and people like you will blame the voters, but it’ll be his own fault.
I would have liked for his opponents to run a proper primary against him and win, but now that he’s going to the general I support him 100% and I say any abstainers are morons for allowing the mere possibility of a GOP congressman.
Yeah man i fucking hate making sure americans can afford to live their goddamn lives and maybe spend some of that time with their families?
No? Just work and missiles for war criminals? Fuck off.
I hope you guys on the left understand the assignment is to retake the party from the dumb fucks in my older generation (Gen X specifically, but also the Boomers who haven’t croaked yet.) We think we know but we don’t. We/they are wrong. The center can win you a battle but it will never ever win the fucking war. Go win the war.
They try to pull right because they are right, their only job is to make sure actual left never rises.
All these people only care about their immediate families, rich buddies and hoarding as much property and wealth as possible.
We need to stop having faith in them and rise up in action to establish true democracy.
Ok do it?
Perhaps another scheduled nonviolent demonstration? No Kings XIII?
You’re right. Most of the people in this country probably need to pushed to the point of starvation to violently revolt. The problem is, who will be the first person to start? Trying to do it as one person is pointless.
Hakeem Jeffries can fuck off. It’s been clear since day 1 of trump 2.0 that he’s a fucking hack, and here we are.
Unrelated, isn’t this so cute?
Well then you got to go son.
He knows he will…
He’s just trying to depress his own party’s turnout because he’ll say if we ran neoliberal candidates and had a neoliberal DNC we’d have done better.
He won’t have a leadership position in February if Martin still has the DNC, and Jefferies would rather hand the government to trump for another two years than see progressives elect progressive congressional leadership.
Every corner of rot needs to be dealt with in this country, including controlled opposition.
Fuck this guy. I hope karma catches up to him and all his bullshit.
The first job of the new Dem Congress after the Midterm, is to immediately replace the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries. If they don’t work for the other side, they might as well be. Get rid of them.
We all know this, but I am surprised that he actually admits it publicly.
But… perhaps there’s no point in manipulating the public. It’s not as if there’s a viable alternative.
Meanwhile, he has the very best healthcare on Earth, all thanks to US taxpayers.
This is just one more reason why our major parties continue to lose voters every year. Rs are now 30%, Ds are now 30%, and Independents are up to 40% (many polls, pick your favorite).
Greens led by a cunt that dines at Putin’s table don’t count.
Why is Hakeem Jefferies?
But why male models.
This US supreme court needs to be at least… THREE times bigger… I have a vision…
You… you serious?
That Jeffries guy becomes more and more suspicious to me every time I see a new article. It may be the billionaire-owned media painting this picture or the man may be a fraud. I’m watching you Jeffries. I’m watching you billionaire-owned media.
It may be both.
