“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 said on Fox News Sunday.

Look, I'm tired of Jefferies smug "I tweeted about it, what more do you want" face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I'm seeing here on Lemmy.

Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that's what he's gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.

Personally I'm a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.

For me, for now, I'm just glad we slowed the bleeding.

    Look motherfuckers cant drive down cost and lying when says they can. What they can do is hold Trump administration to accountability and impeach a shit ton of his shitty cabinet. Which should be there number one priority. Of course after removing him and Schumer from leadership. Fuck these weak ass motherfuckers. The voters made it clear we goddammit right we want revenge.

    I mean, there's no hypocrisy here. Lemmy isn't a monolith hive mind, even if it leans much lefter than most spaces. Different people are saying different things.

    I agree with you, democrats need to do it all. They need to focus on cost of living and impeach and all the rest. They can do that - they control the committees now, they have plenty of people, they just need someone who is organized to make things happen, not to just blow political wind. Jeffries is the latter, and we need the former.

  • We slowed the bleeding but we're still actively bleeding as long trump is in charge of executing the power of the federal government. What do you wanna do, pass medicare for all and trump appoints rfk jr to run the program? Free preK for all and betsy devos gets to choose all the contractors?? A law forcing military withdrawal from Iran so then he attacks Syria using the war powers act emergency military action 60 days to notify congress???

    The man is a complete traitor and he also runs a global child sex trafficking ring. Like absolutely yes nothing else should be done by congress until he is impeached and removed. They should shut the federal govt down and refuse to authorize any funding or any budget at all until Republicans agree to remove trump, period.
