Enemy of the people. Vote him out!

Jeffries won his primary uncontested.

2 potential challengers either didn't qualify or dropped out.

IMO the fact that there isn't a serious primary challenger by default is a massive reason incumbent democrats are incentivized to care more about winning republican voters over anyone left of center. They're already won the democrat voters, they don't need to cater to them.

AIPAC bitch. Whoever voted for this turd should be ashamed. One of the biggest saboteurs of the dem platform.

DINO

I oppose Hakeem Jeffries.

Isn't the title also saying that Hakeem Jeffries supports 114000 people dieing annually instead of allowing access to Medicare for all Americans, not just special ones?

Every ounce of corruption has to go and this one is bigger than an ounce

He's going full Joe Manchin, isn't he.

You never want to go full Joe Manchin.

He's a terrible Minority Leader unless the goal is to stay the Minority Leader.

He's also on record as being opposed to abolishing ICE

Bought and paid for, I see.

If his life was on the line, you'd see him change his tune real quick, but it's not, so he'll sacrifice 114,000 people for the sake of his donors' stock portfolios. Fuck you, Jeffries.

He's like best friends with Chuck Schumer. Too many people associate "being kind of ethnic looking and nominally on the left" with being progressive, or actually leftwing. They're not the same thing.

Unfortunately you have to check, so get used to looking into people.

Another do nothing “big tent” moderate.

“The financial status quo is great you guys. We just need to get back to normal”

Kill me first please.

114k lives that have to keep having services paid for while they cling to life in old age for the majority of those lives lost.

We should have universal healthcare but right now the insurance, healthcare provider and pharmaceutical industries make enormous amounts of money in the US in profits that cannot be made anywhere else in the world. They spend billions collectively on lobbying (bribes) to make sure the majority of politicians are against any legislation that impacts the enormous profits that go to billionaire owners and portions that get paid out to very well paid executives and employees in these industries.

The further you are from the top the less you earn, and the owners want it all. Insurance provides zero value, extreme predatory pricing for pharma provides zero value. Wealth siphoning from healthcare providing companies provides zero value. The combination of all three is why our healthcare is absolutely fucked in the US.

I’ve seen low level roles getting paid nearly 200k in these industries. Low level middle managers are easily above that number. If the low level folks are so well compensated you can only imagine what the profits look like at the top.

These salaries do not apply to hands on healthcare providers in low level healthcare roles - but each of those three industries have different nuances and insane payouts to different groups if you look into it deeply. Healthcare providing is like education and generally not very well paid without advanced education… pharma though? Bachelors or masters is 200k+ generally, even in shitty departments like finance or hr. Sales all hit that or get canned.

Sweep him aside.

I mean, not unexpected, it's one of the differences that between liberals and the left.

He’s basically Fetterman 2.0

It should always be worded this way, "Hakeem Jeffries will allow 114,000 Americans to die every year so that his donors' stock prices can go up."

Boo

The first thing the Dems should do in both chambers is dump Schmuck & Jeffries. These losers are 50% of the reason MAGA regained power. They squandered their first shot at crushing MAGA, they have done nothing to show they deserve a second chance, and this is a perfect example right here.

We are destined to oscillate between extremes every 4 years, in an endless political glitch, until we decisively crush MAGA, and purge it from our government and society.

Looks like it's time to reform the Democrat party.

Way more likely than a fictitious 3rd party magically becoming viable anytime in the near future.

People don’t wield power; power wields people.

vote blue no matter who though right.
