Traitors! Bought and paid for by Citizens United.
With Democrats like these it doesn't take a genius to wonder why 1/3rd of the US didn't show up to vote.
Useless fucking losers
Who needs the diet version of fascists?
Those that refuse to admit that is what they are
Their donors
The midterms won’t save us. Pitchforks will.
Yet people get mad when you say both parties are working together.
"Democrats agree with fascism and wont oppose it."
Tell us something we don't know.
I just don’t see how anyone can hear this and see them as effective leadership. Minority party or not. Like it makes me, a dedicated left wing person, not want to support democrats because they seem to have lost the plot
They haven’t lost the plot, they like the plot. They don’t agree with you, they don’t like you, they don’t want to help you.
Completely agree. There are no US politicians who are willing to offer social progress or even support middle-class workers. If you're not a campaign donor, you can't get shit in this country.
Not that it matters who votes for who. After the 2024 election, it's obvious the winner isn't decided by votes anyway.
PRIMARY ALL OF THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS!!!
Unless they are actively opposing this regime, they are complicit. Full stop. Some worse than others, but just replacing Schumer won't do shit if the rest of the Democrats in Congress are the same milk toast centrist corporate assholes.
Dear Leader has something on both of them.
Or just Schumer thinks the issue is the person leading ICE and DHS, not that they have too much impunity.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Didn't realize this was an inappropriate time to try to stop them from kidnapping and murdering people.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,”
That would be Flight of the Pigs O'Clock.
Jeffries has always struck me as someone lukewarm, uncharismatic, and even unintelligent. So many better options for that position, but he was chosen for the obvious virtue signal.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Counterpoint: no you fucking won't
Well, you know... It's friday.
Dont listen to their words, only watch their actions. By actions alone, these 2 are MAGA.
Primary these worthless fucks
No need to wait. The elected Democrats can vote them out of their leadership positions now.
New York 8 you know what to do -- primary Jeffries. Start looking for your candidate now.
There's got to be a viable progressive candidate
Oh fuck them.
Genuinely worse than anyone on the right, IMO, who at least tell you to your face what they believe
They will not go against the wishes of their donors. They do not represent their voters.
I am so disappointed in Jeffries. When Pelosi stepped back, I thought we might get some change but that was dumb of me to think a Democrat would have a spine. They are so floppy.
Lost hope in it as soon as she announced a successor instead of letting anyone else try.
Especially as he's as strong and effective as a wet paper bag
He has a spine. He faces criticism and outrage from people like you every day. He likes what is happening. Wealthy Democratic Party donors like what is happening. They want a paramilitary police state.
Unseat these cowards
I mean of course they didn't because they're worthless democrats.
The Democrats are why we have fascism ascendant in this country by refusing to be an opposition party.
It's so much worse than it needs to be for no reason. They don't have the numbers to do anything, but they could at least fucking PRETEND to care that they can't.
"Well, you guys are trying your best, but there's nothing you can do without the numbers."
"No, no... let's be clear... Even if we had the numbers, we are INTENTIONALLY not doing anything."
Add em to the list
I swear man, people don't hate neoliberals enough. Complete traitors to our country, and for what? Hard times require strong, courageous people to take charge and lead. The average American that voted for Harris in 2024 has more love for this country and bigger balls than these people ever will. Absolute cowards.
Controlled opposition operating accordingly
At this point they are openly collaborating. Opposition, my ass.
That’s what controlled opposition means. It’s a front to act as a stress relief valve for people who oppose the regime.
I'm beginning to think they both spent a lot of time raping trafficked children on Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island and need the distraction.
Spineless cowards
