Another useless corporate dem. No surprises here, unfortunately.
he was appointed by PELOSI to be her replacement, while she takes a hands off approach.
This should explain everything.
Jeffries is a representative of Israel; not America.
As useless as Eric Adams.
The Dems really are showing their colors as the corporate-backed weasels that they are, and then wonder why their voters are sick of their shit.
Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn't like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising......
If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.
Third way go away!
Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it's straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he's chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.

Liberals are Zionists, and things won't improve until the left like you realize it. Democrats are not your friends, they say what they need to get your votes, but they like Jeffries and the agree with him. Your petitions' numbers reflect that.
USSR supported the creation of Israel. And the first government of Israel was democratic socialist. The country used to be known to be quite left until about the late 1980s.
The country was founded as a colonial ethno supremacist project and its founders said their biggest allies will be the antisemites on the premise that they will rid their countries of undesirable Jews.
There was never any form of democracy in Israel, there can't be. It's built on the subjugation and erasure of the indigenous population which has and continues to outnumber them. Palestinians have never had equal rights, and most of us are spread across the world because we never got our right of return granted.
That's not democracy. You're spreading a bullshit narrative.
You can have racist democracies so long as you deny citizenship based on race. The USA has been a democratic republic since the beginning despite having restricted the vote along racial, gender, and at one point wealth.
Israel is a flawed democracy.
No one wasn't arguing that Israel is a democracy.
I understand you have personal stake on the subject and rest assured most people support Palestine, but realise you are being extremely passionate and making straw man and saying more bollocks.
there are dozens of us.
Blasted.
Remember how primaries are the time for the left to disagree? Well, how now?
When liberals tell me, a trans person, that I need to vote for militant transphobe Gavin Newsom after he's handed the 2028 Democratic primary victory, I'm going to tell them to shove it up their ass.
There's no nice way to say this, so mods delete if necessary. It's an election about numbers and progressives will now have to be recognized after the last loss and the success of Mamdani. That is some progress. But the issues of trans people will not be a deciding factor due to the ratio. I hope you get all the care and rights you deserve, but this doesn't sway the vote against literal dictatorship.
Trans people themselves are few. People who care about trans rights are not.
Care enough to change their profile picture or care enough to do something?
How is Newsom transphobic? Aside from his stance on trans athletes, I've never really heard anything on him to suggest otherwise, quite the opposite honestly.
This isn't about sports and it never was. Turns out when you're willing to give in to one aspect of unscientific bigotry (the trans sports moral panic), you'll be willing to give into others. And yes, opposing trans athletes in sports is fundamentally transphobic. Notice you never see transphobes like Newsom proposing narrowly targeted regulations that only address sports where some large and clear advantage has been proven. You never see transphobes like Newsom proposing that trans athletes in individual sports be given some handicap that would cancel out an advantage they've been scientifically proven to have. Instead it's all bigoted blanket bans that are no different from bans that used to exclude black people from whites-only leagues. They never start from a position of fairness and compassion and try to intervene as little as necessary. It's all about just keeping the filthy trannies out of polite society. These bans prohibit trans women from women's gymnastics, for fuck's sake. So yes, if you support blanket trans sports bans, you are a transphobic bigot. I'm sorry, but you can't just hand waive it away with, "well aside from this example of unambiguous bigotry, I don't see any bigotry here." You might as well be saying, "well aside from this person being a registered member of the KKK, I don't see any evidence that this person is racist."

I wonder if you'll continue to hold this stance after Trump starts putting trans people into concentration camps?
It'll be Democrats, or a continuation and escalation of what's happening now. If we have a fair election at all.
There is an easy solution to this. DON'T NOMINATE NEWSOME. Transphobia isn't an inherent stance for the liberal party. We can just nominate a candidate that doesn't proactively shit on civil rights to, for some reason, court conservatives who are never going to vote for us.
Ah yes, putting his transphobic af stance aside and going "oh yea by removing transphobia, he's not transphobic"
All I’m going to say is, in the general election, don’t do what many protestors of the war in Gaza did because that did become a deciding factor in giving Trump Michigan.
Shove it up your ass.
In fighting is why Trump won and is why the left will never accomplish anything. I hope Mamdani wins and he is the catalyst to reshaping the Democrat party so they actually will put up a real progressive like Bernie and not someone who is anti trans. However, letting the Republicans rat fuck our country another 4 years isn’t something I’m going to support in 2028.
If you were living in 1930s Germany, you would have signed up to be a member of the Nazi party. Don't kid yourself, you personally absolutely would have done it. Maybe you wouldn't have been one of those actually enlisting in the SS. But you absolutely would have been one of those that joined the Nazi party to keep their job. Do you have any idea how many regular Germans did that, just to keep their ordinary civilian jobs? They convinced themselves that it was for the greater good. After all, let's say you're a judge or college professor. If you don't join the Nazi party, then an actual militant Nazi might get your job instead. Wouldn't it be better to just join the Nazi party, keep your job, and just try not to do anything too evil in your role? Joining the Nazi party is the lesser of two evils!
When you have no red lines, there is no limit to how deep into Hell you will fall.
Anti occupation and genocide people didn't make Harris lose , dems and Harris incompetency and the two party system made trump win
This is a flawed understanding. Many of the Arab voters in Michigan were not solid Democrats to begin with. Unlike the racist notion that brown skin means Democratic votes, the people inside that skin have a range of views, just like any human. Just pointing at the other side and saying it's worse fails when voters didn't think the other side is worse. The party has to win their votes, and aiding the war machine massacring their relatives is for some reason a poor way to do that.
Jeffries is exactly why the public hates establishment democrats.
Jeffries would rather help republicans do all the fascism in the world rather than endorse somebody who criticized fascists actively doing a genocide.
Turns out "Blue" meant Israel all along.
"And break our losing streak?!"
I hate when they dont tell us what kind of slam was used. Chokeslam, bodyslam, alabama slam?
Establishment Dems simply want to co-parent America with reactionaries. There is no vision, only donors. When MAGA is over, going back to this is not going to be acceptable.
He's better than a republican, and he better be getting primaried.
Blue unless their interests benefit you.
