Dude, lead the party or get off the toilet if you ain’t gonna do shit! Just talking is not helping!!!

I haven't been vocal about pillorying Jeffries, but the unavoidable conclusion is that as a spokesperson for the party, he doesn't have the stuff for this moment — not even a bit of it.

matoswk.bsky.social•2 days ago

Or the obverse--he's a perfect spokesperson for the party, given its absolute uselessness.

djl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Astonishingly so.

bruuklin.bsky.social•2 days ago

He has been useless.

slinkylink.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not at all. He has no idea what direction to go. Completely lost

joeyvazquez.bsky.social•2 days ago

Jeffries is showing that he has exactly the stuff for this moment.

According to the corporations who bought him, anyway.

Bingo

Pedantic nerd voice: a starving Cheetah would be the most likely to resort to veganism; as chasing prey would exert too much energy; and a failure almost certain death

I know, I know — the thought occurred to me before I even hit 'send.' Just roll with it. ;)

Sometimes you just have to say fuck it and go full send

I've been reluctant to believe it but Citizens United has resulted in both parties in our legislative chamber being entirely captured by corporate interests. No one is coming to save us; we have to save ourselves.

Unfortunately, this will be worse for everyone than what Congress could do but won't.

Absolutely incredible that Jeffries can make anyone's eyes glaze over within 2.5 seconds of speaking.

I am not generally a Congressional Dem basher. They have their role. And we have our role. And they are not the same. BUT. But. This milquetoast is not going to cut it.

Churchill was an asshole to India (and probably in other ways), but he was the man for the moment. Who will be our Churchill?

Asshole is an extremely generous way to put it considering he deliberately caused a famine that killed 1 mn - 4 mn civilians, same as the Holodomor Stalin inflicted on Ukraine.

Touche. I am not an expert on that history, but I heard it was terrible. Let's hope we can find a leader who doesn't have that background, but we need a leader that will fight.

He’s not the only one who is absolutely wrong for the moment. There’s a lot of them. It’s pitiful.

booridley.bsky.social•2 days ago

They still seem to think Trump and the Republicans can brought to the table and reasoned with. Or they feel that they have to believe that. Either way, it’s terrible politics for the moment.

Hakim Jeffries has to go and take Schumer with him.Are these people for real?! useless.

grubsweatcheers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Beyond pathetic. Same old same old same old lameness.

If you can’t fight get out of the ring.

batmobile63-65.bsky.social•11 hours ago

You have lost our trust Jeffries. Schumer never had it! Please Dear God send us a Democratic Leader!

Jeffries is waiting for the pivot.
