House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.
“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.
The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

PS this is low effort memes, I'm not going to defend the meme in the comments - feel free to argue with yourselves
Edit: I'm not american so you're extra wasting your time arguing 🤷♀️
Since you don't want to understand why Jeffries is intentionally trying to depress Dem primary turnout and you're doing exactly what he wants...
What is that weird "obligatory" thing you've included?
Edit:
Never mind, it's super old propaganda aimed at dividing the working class along racial lines so we don't unite against the wealthy oligarchs...

The solution is abolishing the class structure, not squabbling over who's where on the bottom of the pecking order.
If we abolish it, it doesn't matter where someone was, because it's gone.
I totally disagree with this take.
Settlers isn't written for white people, but it sure is handy. If we look past defensiveness it is a useful analysis of why class consciousness struggles so hard in north america. If people acknowledge the privilege they are better able to understand how things like promises to lower the cost of living is a tool to be swayed into complacency. Once you can understand that you are in a better position to achieve class consciousness and see past how oligarchs use race/origin to divide us.
I get a feeling I should state "acknowledge the privilege" isn't some public declaration/self flagellation. I just mean looking at oneself and understanding how we fit into the world.
I cross posted this. Not my post.
Why cross post the text with it if you don't agree with or even understand it?
Like...
I just explained how it's propaganda and it's purpose...
And you said
Like that somehow makes it ok?!
Their first and only post too. They created an account to post something they don't understand about a country they don't live in. Carry on, nothing to see here.
I overestimate people a lot, but it just seems obvious that now is the worst time ever to further divide the working class, especially along racial lines.
Like, the whole reason trump is president is rightwing propaganda that divided some of the working class along racial lines, doing that more clearly isn't going to fix anything.
We need unity against the oppressors, not to fight each other over who gets oppressed the most, that's not going to help anyone.
Edit:
I mean, it would help our oppressers, but that should be obvious too...
I agreed with the meme. I just wanted to let people know it was cross posted.
