  1. We know money won’t be leaving politics. But Jesus H titty-fucking Christ, let’s get the religion out already.

  2. Get religion out of politics now. This kind of mindset should not be allowed anywhere near a leadership role.

  3. Insert Disco Elysium’s Moralist description here*

  4. Jeffries and Schumer are deeply unfit for the role of opposition

  5. The Democratic party that brought you Liz Cheney lmaoo

    At this point I don’t think they’re incompetent, they’re straight up complacent.

  6. Hakeem Jefferies is the definition of an establishment politician, Nancy Pelosi’s little favorite to lead the next generation of change almost nothing democrats

    Better than any Republican, but miles worse than people like AOC and Bernie Sanders

  7. MLK warned against White Liberals but I think you can just drop the race entirely at this point and the danger still stands.

  8. From his ass to our Capitol, God shit his top turd right into the White House, eh?

  9. Fucking Reddit.

    2024: “Democrats suck and I WON’T support them. How bad could trump be?”

    [GOP takes Presidency, House, Senate. Trump immediately begins to destroy country from within]

    2025: “wHy aReN’t DeMocrats stOppIng tRump?”

    On an unrelated note: historians believe that the other political parties could have stopped Hitler’s rise in the 1930s if they presented a united front and a more compelling alternative to the NSDAP. However left-leaning Germans on Reddit and Tik-Tok chose to endlessly attack the center-left parties and focused on endless infighting instead.

  10. It’s a little cringe, but what do you want him to do? The minority in the House has almost no power. At least in the Senate you can filibuster some things (until Trump tells R’s to kill the filibuster). Elections have consequences, and voters put Republicans in charge of everything. All Dems can and should do now is sit back wait for the inevitable overreach/fuck up, and then pounce (which they did with the spending freeze fiasco.)

  11. The left has been saying the Dems would roll over for the fascists for decades, and here we are proving the socialists right.

  12. If I hadn’t already turned atheist following a 10 year stint as a pastor, I would not be able to fathom the concept of maintaining faith in this environment. You’re telling me the creator of the universe has infinite power and will literally intercede in the physics of the material world to help you find a parking spot or make sure your kid passes their spelling test, but won’t do a self-damned thing to stop a preteen from being forced to carry their rapist’s baby to term no matter how hard their body shakes with sobs in their prayers.

    And that’s someone worth looking up to? Really?

  13. I am once again asking Bernie to found a Working People’s party so we can abandon the corporate dems and elect politicians that will actually represent the needs of the middle class and not exist as corporate shills cosplaying as progressives.

  14. Hey let’s take one tweet where Jeffries is speaking to his Christian constituency and make a meme that fallaciously frames the single tweet as offering a policy strategy for the entire Democratic caucus in the House.

  15. Seems like everybody is just kind of like fuck it. People wanted this here you go enjoy

  16. Bible thumper suck and should be no where near the levers of power.

    They literally believe in false realities and think their “feelings” are more reliable than the reality around them. They should stay away from telling ANYONE what to do considering how immovable they are on their own beliefs.

  17. It’s shit like this that has convinced me to abandon “blue no matter who”.

    What’s the point of voting for democrats that turn out to be just barely to the left of Reagan and/or incompetent?

    Only progressive candidates will get my vote from now on.

  18. This explains a lot. Apparently everything is going to shit because this “god” is on the shitter.

  19. Concentration camps being formed, fascism is taking hold and we got Jeffries talking about god? Every fucking remark is outta touch from these fools.

  20. Dem leadership needs to clean house and replace with young, passionate, articulate, progressive members who aren’t bought my corporations.

  21. When politicians talk about god, just replace the word god with money and it all makes sense.

  22. Spineless. Democrats are so incredibly complicit in this country. I just can’t

  23. I believe the phrase is presidents come and go but Wutang is forever

  24. I don’t know, man. With Trump God may say: Fuck it, I’m done with it.

  25. A reminder that many of this country’s founders were Deists. Deists believed that god formed the universe and hasn’t intervened since. In other words, we humans are on our own and can’t afford to wait for divine intervention.

    So, yeah, fuck the “God is still on the throne” narrative. Unimaginable human suffering has happened while god sits on his throne and does whatever the hell he does.

    A lesson from Futurama’s Bender is appropriate in these times: “You can’t count on God for jack! He pretty much told me so himself. Now, come on. If we don’t free those monks, no one will.”

  26. *Where’s your fucking god*
    *When you’re ’bout to rot?*

    *Where’s your messiah*
    *When times are dire?*

  27. Yeah, I call my shitter “the throne,” too, and I’m just as useless to anybody else when I’m on it.

  28. God and government should not mix. We should have learned that lesson from History by now.

  29. I’m so fucking tired of politicians injecting religion and their personal faith into politics. Whether it’s left or right (they’re substantially worse obviously), it’s gotta stop.

  30. Jeffries will never be Speaker with that kind of magical thinking

  31. jesus f***ing christ: “My dad is still on the throne and he wants you guys to get to work!”

  32. House minority speakers come, house minority leaders go. Let’s hope they go fast.

  33. Whenever Republicans do something you don’t like, remember to blame the Democrats, kids.

  34. He’s going right to the main reason for religion: to inform the masses that they get their rewards in their next life, while he and his cronies get it during this one.
