I think the biggest problem with Jeffries is that, for the last two years, he and Schumer have been the highest ranking Democrats in elected office. They should have been the ones setting the agenda and putting forth compelling messaging that resonates with voters. Instead, they chose to represent everything that the American public at large sees as wrong with the Dems. Mamdani breaks out as a superstar and establishes the theme for the midterms, and feckless Schumer and Jeffries couldn't even endorse the Democratic nominee for their own city over a salty sex pest. They'd rather make backroom deals with Republicans and unelected fuckwits like Jared Kushner. It's not just the left that hates Dem leadership, their approval ratings are below Trump's.

    Got it. So it’s not something specific he did, it’s that people who care about the Democratic Party want a leadership change there.
    Personally, I think it would be better to leave the 2 party system behind and let powerful upcoming politicians like mamdani, talarico, etc form their own, fresh platform. There is thin chance of salvaging something good out of the DNC given their past 30 years have been about the clintons and bidens. Both the dnc and rnc are rotten to the core and a huge net minus for America and democracy. If I have to pick one out of the 2, it’s still an easy choice, but it would be nice to have actually inspiring options. The stories of Scott Colom and Adam Hamilton are great examples why the dnc is not supporting what their voters want.
