stewart: you guys got anything other than platitudes?
jeffries: nope, in fact here’s one of my favorite platitudes

Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!

Well that's some sleight of hand verbal vomit.

And they do not actually the pain because they're all 80 year old millionaires!

And to use Maya Angelou's words like that!

dangrously.bsky.social•10 days ago

it's like he was coached to say exactly that. Quote Maya Angelou, that'll shut em up. Nobody can argue with Maya Angelou, why are you arguing with Maya Angelou, she's a feminist who is always right and I totally didn't quotemine her out of context or anything.

Why the fuck are we giving the mic to any of those Zionist bitches

jefgirl1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Hmmm. Seems like we first have to understand the pain..and then be authentic about it.

If the American people haven't gotten it yet, they are never gonna get it. MAGAs will blame Biden for all of the bad. Find a new message!

We need better messaging and not policy papers. We keep showing up with a 4 course meal when they show up with pot brownies.

That's not even a real Maya Angelou quote! https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/04/06/they-feel/

Talk about totally misunderstanding Maya Angelou

He’s an AIPAC owned stooge, a complete case study of why that putrid decaying party is part of the problem and doesn’t want to save us even if they could. Trump is is an unabashed traitor but the Ds like Jeffries are even worse.

someone told me Democrats don't alleviate suffering they simply bear witness to it and this is the best example I've ever seen

Hakeem talks like that guy trying to negotiate with King Hyperion in the movie Immortals, you know the scene 😄

kuenkuenluenglueng.bsky.social•10 days ago

I hate them. I hate them so much. I completely understand how all of this happened now.

Dems would be lots more successful if they talked like her but acted like FDR, LBJ, Sam Rayburn and Tip O’Neill.

That man is a fucking plant istg

judd.bsky.social•10 days ago

Maya Angelou was talking about personal relationships not fucking elected government officials what a fuck

goldenspool.bsky.social•10 days ago

The elected Democrat special: pretending they're just you're empathetic friend willing (but unable) to listen without any power to change anything.

dangrously.bsky.social•10 days ago

Maya Angelou should slap him in the back of the head. WORDS WITHOUT DEEDS ARE NOTHING. yes, make them feel something BUT DO THINGS THAT IMPROVE THEIR SITUATION. Those actual things will get them to feel all the emotions Hakeem claims he craves. Hakeem is doing NEITHER.

Is Jeffries a Trojan Horse? How can he be this brain dead?

bludgeonparagon.bsky.social•10 days ago

And sometimes they can't even do those properly!

jakecooper58.bsky.social•10 days ago

Actions are far better than words. Results are better than actions.

loudanduniformed.bsky.social•10 days ago

This whole interaction between Stewart and Jeffries again illustrates how elected Dems do not understand why Trump won. It doesn’t have to do with policy. It doesn’t have to do with messaging. Trump is a spectacle. Voter like a spectacle. They don’t understand policy. They don’t think critically.

loudanduniformed.bsky.social•10 days ago

Economic anxiety is a red herring. It is a justification not a rationale. Now, do I think Dems should have more progressive policies, yes. Do I think voters will ultimately like those policies, yes. But they won’t vote for a Dem because of them.

loudanduniformed.bsky.social•10 days ago

They’ll vote for the person they think is coolest.

What a bunch of feckless dimwits.

Rich people have no idea how the average person suffers.
