He’s gotta be either dead or dying.
I’d be more interested in hearing Schumer’s plans about the budget. Jefferies and the House Dems basically have zero power.
item 1: remain beholden to corporate overlords
item 2: undermine any democrats who present a truly progressive agenda
Does an endorsement of NYC primary winner, Zohran Mamdani feature in his fall plans?
You need to have plans to *do something* before you can have an agenda.
Holding a conference entirely on the opposition’s agenda because you don’t have an agenda yourself. Joy.
I already fell asleep.
Is part of that agenda bowing down and offering the least amount of resistance to republicans as possible?
He has to announce how democrats need to do something about upstarts like Zohran Mamdani as we cannot stand to change how the party works.
What % of his speech do you think will be lit/CRM quotations that poorly mask his blatant non-answers?
Was hoping it would be him announcing he is resigning because he is terrible and never deserved them job Jamal Bowmen would have been crushing it right he would be on fire fighting for the people but Jeffries has no spine and takes aipac money. I would like to see him put up 500lbs like Jamal but you have to have a spine to do that. Dems leadership needs to resign in disgrace!
“We’re gonna bounce on it, then do some tricks on it, maybe some spinning. After than, who knows. Maybe a little sloppy toppy?”
Would be cool if the fall agenda was supporting Zohran
Let me guess…rebrewing the coffee grounds, sweeping the beach, can we please have 5 dollars….
Don’t talk. Do.
The agenda:
“Your $5 donation to the DNC will help us fight Mamdani and other progressives…..and maybe Trump too.”
They’re gonna fold on government shutdown rofl
Fall what? Of the US?
So what is this about? Also Jefferies has no idea how to connect to average people. Instead he tries to do these cute rhyming bumper sticker comments he thinks get traction on social media and serve as an argument. I’m not even sure he’s particularly good at whipping votes.
If this is just an appeal for money, he can rightly go fuck himself.
Is he going to rap the alphabet about doing nothing?
Is the only purpose to coincide with Trump’s tv spot?
Is Jeffries going to continue to cuck himself to AIPAC and throw progressives under the bus?
Jeffries is the problem, not the solution to it. He needs a primary.
Beware: there’s so much astroturfing here pre-shitting on Democrats. It shows Republicans are scared of the next elections
