When Hakeem Jeffries says stuff like this it's terrifying because he's a scumbag corporate sell-out, but when Dr. Abdul says it I'm on board and can't wait to see what he comes up with, because he actually seems like a good dude we can trust to negotiate for us instead of corporate paymasters
Hakeem doesn't say stuff like this and that's why he needs to go.
Hakeem will describe vague notions of problems to be fixed with ultimate solutions that end up being "give health insurers more money".
Abdul is proposing the policy, medicare for all, and saying "but call it whatever you want". Hakeem will identify a problem, but ultimately will push dogshit policies that aren't popular.
That's part of why he's so much better.
Let's look at what Jeffries has said about healthcare in this country!
This shit means exactly what it does when he says we need to "reform ICE". Incremental improvements, no actual solution to the underlying problem.
The thing it works 1000x better with an El-Sayed or Mamdani, because they're actually cool.
trump openly complains about how everyone around him are losers, and those are the people he picks to spend all his time with.
Throw someone with even average charisma in that room, trump loves them. Jeffries/Schumer fucking suck, trump won't want to deal with them. He can't get enough of Mamdani, and El-Sayed will be the same.
trump legitimately wants to be loved, he's just a shitty person who doesn't know how to get it and like a toddler he'd rather have hate than nothing. Any attention is better than none
There's a difference between somefish who swims off-course get to where they need to go, and somefish who swims off-course to go somewhere else.
Funny how trust works, isn't it?
Don't tell them that the newly elected Dems are outnumbered by incumbents who voted for Jeffries may times.
