    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.
