Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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

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.

Oh wow!!! Not wanting to violate the law by arresting and deporting an American citizen??? The absolute bare minimum and what should be the literal default for everyone in public office??? 👀
Dude.
That’s not even the point of this post. Why is this even such a concern to you? You’re clearly not a New Yorker, or you’d know that solidarity fighting Trump is about the best endorsement he’s gonna get. The more Trump attacks him, the better he’ll do in the general. It’s as simple as that.
We're talking about a US citizen being arrested and deported for political reasons. They should oppose that no matter who the target is, republican, democrat, anyone. That's not an endorsement, that's just what they should do no matter what. I'm not going to applaud them for saying that's bad. 🙄
An endorsement would be an endorsement.
I get it. You don’t understand NY. You don’t have to repeat yourself.
People who know nothing about his platform are already saying they love how much he’s pissing off Trump. That’s the endorsement he needs to win.
Keep making excuses for them. His own voters chose Mamdani to represent the party. It seems like Hakeem Jefferies is the one that doesn't understand NY or how to represent his constituents.
Keep finding reasons to hate on good actions by Democrats. This post is about Jeffries doing what he can to bring attention to the vote with the little control he has.
You’re the shmuck making it about the NYS mayoral race, and it’s not even your city. The Dems deserve plenty of criticism. It’s childish to shoehorn it into every post.
If you must talk about Jeffries representing his constituents, you should be informed. His district (NY-8, East Brooklyn) voted overwhelmingly for Cuomo. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/06/24/us/elections/nyc-mayor-primary-results-precinct-map.html
So rare to see a proud democrat out in the wild. You dont work in politics by chance do you?
Nah. I’ve been left of the Democrats since the 90s, but I’ve always been very engaged in politics. Protesting, volunteering for elections, occasional stumping…
I loudly support good actions on Lemmy, because users always seem happy to provide the criticism. There’s no such thing as a good or bad person or politician, just good and bad actions. This was a good action, that I believe warranted recognition.
