Dont listen to their words, only watch their actions. By actions alone, these 2 are MAGA.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Didn't realize this was an inappropriate time to try to stop them from kidnapping and murdering people.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Counterpoint: no you fucking won't
Well, you know... It's friday.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,”
That would be Flight of the Pigs O'Clock.
Oh fuck them.
Genuinely worse than anyone on the right, IMO, who at least tell you to your face what they believe
Personally, I wouldn't care much what exact shade of brown the shit is when somebody is trying to make me eat it.
Lol, no they don't. While talking about the dangers of covid vaccines, all of fox news and the maga politicians were getting vaccinated. Trump had experiment treatments for it.
New York 8 you know what to do -- primary Jeffries. Start looking for your candidate now.
Primary these worthless fucks
No need to wait. The elected Democrats can vote them out of their leadership positions now.
They will not go against the wishes of their donors. They do not represent their voters.
With Democrats like these it doesn't take a genius to wonder why 1/3rd of the US didn't show up to vote.
We’ve never had a government that put the needs of the people ahead of the wants of the rich. The closest we had was FDR, and even he only pushed the New Deal to stop us from demanding an even better deal.
The Democrats are why we have fascism ascendant in this country by refusing to be an opposition party.
It's so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don't have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can't.
"Well, you guys are trying your best, but there's nothing you can do without the numbers."
"No, no... let's be clear... Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything."
The midterms won’t save us. Pitchforks will.
Unseat these cowards
Useless fucking losers
I'm beginning to think they both spent a lot of time raping trafficked children on Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island and need the distraction.
I just don’t see how anyone can hear this and see them as effective leadership. Minority party or not. Like it makes me, a dedicated left wing person, not want to support democrats because they seem to have lost the plot
They haven’t lost the plot, they like the plot. They don’t agree with you, they don’t like you, they don’t want to help you.
Traitors! Bought and paid for by Citizens United.
Who needs the diet version of fascists?
PRIMARY ALL OF THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS!!!
Unless they are actively opposing this regime, they are complicit. Full stop. Some worse than others, but just replacing Schumer won't do shit if the rest of the Democrats in Congress are the same milk toast centrist corporate assholes.
Add em to the list
"Democrats agree with fascism and wont oppose it."
Tell us something we don't know.
I am so disappointed in Jeffries. When Pelosi stepped back, I thought we might get some change but that was dumb of me to think a Democrat would have a spine. They are so floppy.
He has a spine. He faces criticism and outrage from people like you every day. He likes what is happening. Wealthy Democratic Party donors like what is happening. They want a paramilitary police state.
I swear man, people don't hate neoliberals enough. Complete traitors to our country, and for what? Hard times require strong, courageous people to take charge and lead. The average American that voted for Harris in 2024 has more love for this country and bigger balls than these people ever will. Absolute cowards.
I try not to hate anyone but Jesus they make it hard.
Controlled opposition operating accordingly
Spineless cowards
Many of their rich donors rely on the exploitation of undocumented workers to make crap ton of money. So of course they don't want to actually clamp down on ICE or provide better pathways to citizenship...
Undocumented workers are cheap labor and are usually obedient out of fear. There have been plenty of reported cases of farmers and/or companies calling ICE on their workers to weasel out of paying them (wage theft). Even documented workers aren't safe, given that their green cards and/or work visas are tied to their job. So if they report poor working conditions or wage theft to authorities, they'll likely be forced to leave the U.S.
The useless duo
The worst tacticians in the history of decision making.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time," Jeffries told reporters.
They are going to be primaried, right
RIGHT?
Dear Leader has something on both of them.
Or just Schumer thinks the issue is the person leading ICE and DHS, not that they have too much impunity.
