this is the guy who said the reason the dems have zero opposition messaging is because we have to choose our battles and pick the things the american people care about btw
Can we all please call Hakeem and shout at him that we do not give a f*ck about orange's birthday being a holiday, and instead he needs to highlight the fascism and stripping of rights and law?
Uhm, no? I don't think slinging racial slurs at people is an effective way to air our grievances. We can rightly call Hakeem out for being a spineless, feckless jellyfish without bringing his race into it derogatorily.
I haven't seen much hate against Musk just for being white. I see a lot of hate for him being a racist white supremacist, that's an important distinction.
Not for nothing…I absolutely do give a fuck about that turd’s birthday becoming a national holiday. We’re capable of being pissed about many things at once.
I mean okay fair yes if the orange turd did it I'd be pissed too. I just meant in the grand scheme that'd be pretty small potatoes. There's like 100 other horrible things this admin has done that directly harm us that I personally would highlight over the birthday thing, even if that is bad.
14 people have died in my state due to flooding, snow storms & extreme temperatures. We’re expecting 3-7” more overnight. Freezing temps thru the week expected. Not a word. No condolences. No visit. No paper towels. The death toll will rise. These assholes want to focus on dumb shit. Evil ghouls.
Dear friends, I need your support! ❄️🛵

See you are thinking too small, let them make it a holiday, and then celebrate it by burning effegies of him in the streets and calling it "burning butthole day" exclusively
Jeffries is a creature of the NY Democratic Party which is sick with neoliberal corruption. Fix the party, or else you'll keep getting replacement clowns.
Dem Leaders are trying to copy the MAGA playbook. MAGA blasts media/socials with a simply articulated lie (Eating dogs and cats; Pizzagate, etc.), and their people eat it up.
So Jeffries, et al focus on egg prices and holidays, while our real concern is WE’RE ON FIRE!!
That’s why Crockett, AOC, and Maxwell Frost (among others) are more effective in this era. Not taking the bait on stupid shit and leaning on decorum, they’re out there saying: “THESE FUCKERS ARE DISMANTLING US FROM WITHIN AND WE NEED TO FIGHT!”
The problem is not the Democrat congress - it is their social media advisors who are stuck in the 1990’s discussing the statement to be faxed once it’s been checked.
Posting irrelevant or simply dated responses fail to impact. Trump posts ~25/day with 3 /day being market altering. Get active.
I had high hopes for Jeffries. Every day, I am more and more disappointed. It is so utterly obvious that this man does not have the ability to lead in our current world.
WHY didn't YOU do anything before this madman made his move on our country and democracy?
NO stop-gap measures, no new laws to prevent a take-over, nothing!
YOU did NOTHING!
Now you want US to fix this?
Are you KIDDING me?
💙😡
Jeffries will hasten our doom with what I have seen from him so far. The fuck whined that progressives were MAKING him fight. No, that is 70% of the people who elect Democrats. Someone check his bank account for payments from the white house.
WTF!!!! Jeffries is ALOT of the problem like schumer. They had the house and senate and could have done anything to prevent this from happening. Now they whine and in turn still have done nothing.
The US is in a constitutional crisis and all I see is whining and complaining
WTF! How many times and how far up Trump’s anus will these “demons” go to do Trump’s bidding? The smell alone should be enough for them to “pull out” before Trump’s feces drown them to the point of no return!
He’s always been a POS but occasionally he’d end a speech with a quote from a classic hip-hop song so the liberals loved them and insisted that all the black America did….🙄
Democrats need competent leadership. Jeffries is one among many problem liberals people are trying to sort out. You need to get on board and help clean up the mess, not suck up to the clowns who made it.
get on board of what? Being divisive and taking my angry out on a stranger? Taking shots at other Dems, making assumptions based on ? No thanks. I will continue to register people to vote inform on issues & support the Dem Party. I have done more than my part. We’re a broken party and this is why.
Umm is there a comprehension problem?🧐 He’s focused on our information and calling out what they’re focused on! The message isn’t lost on those of us with the ability to understand it! WTF
It’s not a troll if they actually want it to happen. Sooner or later people are going to be put on a list for not celebrating enough, or not applauding long enough, or not attending enough rallies.
He needs to organize the party around daily press conferences with a different lawmaker covering a different topic ... EVERY DAY ... with a weekly recap of the shit threatening everyday Americans.
A nation on the edge. The walls of democracy tremble, yet its supposed defenders mutter poll-tested platitudes, bar charts, mistaking timidity for strategy.
Meanwhile, the strongman sharpens his axe, unchallenged.
They say there’s a time to govern and a time to campaign? How about a time to fight!
Isn’t he basically saying that while doge is stealing our data republicans are trying to pass stupid bills and we need to defeat republicans? Like idk that’s not that’s bad of a thing to say right?
I love the continued framing of “extreme MAGA republicans” as if we’re living in 2015 and a single Republican is going to defy Trump. Gotta keep that hand across the aisle for Satan
That statement of his curdled my blood. What an utterly tone deaf Christian nationalist thing to hear from the minority leader. Hakeem Jeffries is a DINO of the worst order.
Wow. What happened Jeffries. Or, was he always a go-along to get-along kind of guy? AOC, Jasmine, Swalwell, Raskin, etc would be more effective leaders at this point and we haven’t even discussed the Senate.
They already have it. The judge gave it to them yesterday. They have enough information on all of us to completely control us and surveil everything we do
I will happily go to the curb on that day, place a MAGA flag down with his picture atop it, and publicly shit on it. Is…is that not how we celebrate it?
these stupid mother fuckers are still on that "extreme maga republican" shit? I maintain that Bush 43 was significantly worse and more overtly fascist than Trump and the only reason these jackasses think otherwise is because they're all in bed with the same neo cons that ran the show back then.
a literal coup of the government where everything coming from the executive branch is fascist. but you want to use your attention to attack democrats or minimize how bad this is?
it's been less than 1 month. in any civilized country he'd be arrested. the republicans party is the reason we cant
Given Jeffries' inaction lately, I've got a bad feeling that once Dems take control of the House in 2027, which is likely, it will take several ballots to elect a Speaker just like what happened in 2023. I don't see how AOC, Crockett, Frost, etc. would support Jeffries for Speaker.
And for those of you who plan to reply by saying that there won't even be elections in 2026, I will tell you all right now that while yes, Trump is a horrible person that's doing things that threaten our democracy, I don't see how he'll succeed in abolishing the 2026 elections.
Plus, there isn't a single Trumper who wants Trump to abolish the 2026 elections nor thinks that he will. As a matter of fact, Red Eagle Politics, who's a huge Trumper is already making predictions for 2026. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c958solztaI
So weak-ass little Hakeem "What leverage do we have?" Jefferies has finally found a nothing battle to fight.
Dude needs to find a spine, like the rest of the establishment Dems, instead of complaining that Progressives, like AOC, actually have one.
He's utterly useless. He's got the fight and fire of a bowl of porridge. The US is facing the end of the rule of law and that's the best he can do. Pitiful.
True, but this crowd thinks now is a good time to beat up the Dems. I wouldn't mind finding out we're as smart as the French, but it's not looking good.
Dear Hakeem. How about you don't declare on camera that you're a toothless turd. How about put together an agenda to fire up people. Don't ask us to fight like hell when you can't even get in front of the donors and roll up your sleeves. We don't need your supervisor energy. We need AOC energy.
The Democratic party needs to find a spokesman. And then they need to get real people, and their stories in front of the camera and put faces to these horror stories. Stop the chanting and put human stories front and center.
Jeffries is complicit at this point from shear cowardice and incompetence. He is an enemy of this nation as much as the current administration is as he essentially throws his hands up and lets democracy be snuffed out.
This is a throwaway line in a tweet, but let’s stomp around and pretend we’re upset. This attention whore “journalist” could have magnified Trump saying Ukraine started the war with Russia, but to be a cool kid on Blue Sky you gotta shit talk Dems.
He picks that one when he could have brought up the fact that the SAVE Act has actually passed in the House- y'know, the one that aims to disenfranchise 40mil voters. Particularly BIPOC, immigrants, and women.
His birthday is in June so if that troll bill passes all that's going to happen if you think like me is that all the largest pride parades are going to happen then.
Just use that day to gay harder. We can do it too. It's not hard.
What happened to Jeffries plan around “excellent pitch selection” from his Aaron Judge comparison? We need a stronger, smarter opposition leader. This gets us no where. This is purpose built distraction - aka a throw away pitch in the dirt.
You know, at this point, idc about what they do with his bd..I'm super concerned about Medicaid and Medicare and SS..
This feels really tone deaf. Their time to get it together and help us is running short.
This is an odd misrepresentation. And I am no fan of Jeffries' these days.
He's literally talking about Musk's gov't overthrow. And drawing attention to the Republican's fecklessness.
Are people even reading what you posted, or just agreeing blindly?
Democrats need to find more like AOC to do the talking points - and i hate saying it, but a male because Lord knows we can't have some uppity woman telling anyone what to do in America...
I believe that is the main reason trump got elected - they couldn't bring themselves to vote for a woman
...He's an opposition leader. He's pointing out that the incompetent House GOP is now Trump's personality cult, which is *his job* until Speaker Johnson comes crawling to him for votes to pass a budget, continuing resolution, or debt limit increase
WTF does everything he says sound like someone physically cut sentence fragments out of focus group transcript printouts and then sloppily pasted them together onto a blank piece of paper like it’s some sort of ransom note?
Obviously the answer is because that is what he is literally doing.
Comments
Us, as in people, can and are pissed about a lot, but most our reps are still playing softball and I'm kinda sick of it.
Dumb it down, Dems! is the message, I guess.
Pls like me, I’m outraged too.
Democrats are smarter than this.
I hope he is more than just an eloquent speaker...

You're a dickhead.
Fuck off and let a progressive lead; AOC or Jasmine Crockett!!

Always shocked at the new ways he finds to fuck this up, but never surprised that he did

Take the fucking gloves off.
Tragic.
You’re right, it’s that darn holiday

Where were YOU before all this mayhem hit?
WHY didn't YOU do anything before this madman made his move on our country and democracy?
NO stop-gap measures, no new laws to prevent a take-over, nothing!

Also Jeffries: "Trump's birthday is a fat one right down the middle" [as he swings a slider in the dirt].
The US is in a constitutional crisis and all I see is whining and complaining
Did he change or was he secretly this useless all along?
Weak Ass Democrats.
Meanwhile, the strongman sharpens his axe, unchallenged.
They say there’s a time to govern and a time to campaign? How about a time to fight!
AOC and Crockett lead. Most of the others are just there for a paycheck.
Got it.
Primary this fool and everyone sounding like him.
Start fighting back or get back for someone who will!
it's been less than 1 month. in any civilized country he'd be arrested. the republicans party is the reason we cant
Keep reaching down for your own stereotypes, jackasses!
He’s clearly a smart and talented man.
How do we steer him away from corporate obsession?
Dems should only take money from individuals and small donations from unions.
Well, let me go commit crimes, then 🙄
See how that sounds 🤔
See how GOP MEMBERS pass stupid things?
they’re literally plugged into the treasury they’ve got that shit already
DO SOMETHING JEFFRIES YOU FUCK
VOTE NO ... do not give him a special day
it'll only make his head BIGGER
Dude needs to find a spine, like the rest of the establishment Dems, instead of complaining that Progressives, like AOC, actually have one.
Move over, and let one of the two 'young ladies' take control.
Seems like a better target since he's trying to eliminate Congress and all...
AOC & Jasmine!
Just use that day to gay harder. We can do it too. It's not hard.

it is not an accident he is a pelosi/schumer simp.
he is there for the paycheck.
the dems won. they got paid.
ppl lost.
This is a disingenuous criticism
WE WON'T BE VOTING AGAIN, YOU BOOB!
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Obviously the answer is because that is what he is literally doing.
