Jeffries is exactly why the public hates establishment democrats.

Jeffries would rather help republicans do all the fascism in the world rather than endorse somebody who criticized fascists actively doing a genocide.

Mamdani is exactly what the Democrats need to win.

The dems purpose isn't to adapt to the needs of the electorate, their purpose is to support the status quo and israel, while enriching themselves. Winning elections is what they do in safe blue districts, disrupting leftism is what they do everywhere else.

Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it's straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he's chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.

Vote blue no matter who went out the window real quick.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Oh no, it’s still there. It will be trotted out the next time progressives get angry at another corporate candidate.

Jeffries needs to be made an electoral example of for being so out of touch with voters.

Blue unless their interests benefit you.

Another useless corporate dem. No surprises here, unfortunately.

he was appointed by PELOSI to be her replacement, while she takes a hands off approach.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 84 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn't like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising......

If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.

This should explain everything.

Jeffries is a representative of Israel; not America.

As useless as Eric Adams.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 93 points 4 days ago

The Dems really are showing their colors as the corporate-backed weasels that they are, and then wonder why their voters are sick of their shit.

I hate when they dont tell us what kind of slam was used. Chokeslam, bodyslam, alabama slam?

Blasted.

Remember how primaries are the time for the left to disagree? Well, how now?

When liberals tell me, a trans person, that I need to vote for militant transphobe Gavin Newsom after he's handed the 2028 Democratic primary victory, I'm going to tell them to shove it up their ass.

Turns out "Blue" meant Israel all along.
