Jeffries line of thinking is how we got into this mess to begin with. If we'd have prosecuted Trump for the treason of jan 6, he'd never have gotten a a second term. Jeffries is a coward and should not be in a leadership position.

    If we'd have prosecuted George W Bush's people for their self-dealing, the torture, the assassinations, and extraordinary renditions to CIA blacksites maybe Trump wouldn't have even bothered running for office in the first place

    Also, Nixon should have hung for undermining Vietnam peace talks in 1968

    Add in Reagan for Iran-Contra, Gingrich for undermining and poisoning democracy, and Kissinger just because I want to celebrate that death again

    I'm still kinda bitter about how everything after Bush was handled. The platform Obama ran, the margin he won with, the national attitude even! He could have started rolling back everything Bush, try to actually deliver change.

    Maybe all the entrenched institutions would have been able to push back. But we'll never know, cus the admin never even tried.

    Jeffries and Schumer are going to cockblock the progressives to appease the wealthy and Israel.

    I really hope the progressives cause headaches for the DNC and force real change.

    America punishing powerful men would be more unprecedented than anything else in this election. If Benedict Arnold hadn't fled to England, they'd probably put statues of him up by now.

    Get even? Hell no. Do what should have been done after the civil war, dozens of times between, and after the Jan 6 insurrection.

    Punish severely. Make it hurt and make it memorable so that shit fucking stops happening.

    Don't do it for me or anyone's perceived vengeance. Holding corrupt people to account isn't about getting even, we've got to do it for the sake of a fair system of rules for everybody, not a separate set of rules for the rich and connected.

    Don't hold back on prosecuting former Pres Clinton for his Epsteinery as much as anyone else involved.

    How the fuck tdid Jefferies come away from this election with the idea that the voters don't want investigations and prison time for these fucks? Read the room Hakeem !

    He checked all the notes from his donors and they clearly state that they want a quiet return to business as usual, with no additional thoughts as to what the end goal of that would be. Is he doing something wrong?

    Holding criminals accountable for their crimes is not "getting even". The dumb shit is playing right into right wing rhetoric

    Not really. Getting even implies the same type of crimes being done back to them. Not the natural consequences of their criminal actions playing out.

    look at the comments. Hakeem is uniting people effortlessly. (against him).

    I scrolled for at least 5 minutes and every single top level comment is telling him to gtfo

    Yep, this election was a direct rebuke of democratic leadership as well. They did not want ALL of these Democrats to win. They will not play nicely with Sayed, but they WILL play nicely with Jim Jordan and John Thune.

    This election was America collectively saying "it's time for Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies to get off the pot, we need to shit"

    Do not let them hold onto the gavel. Give it to someone that will wield it for progress.

    Just by not being bought and paid for by AIPAC, Ro Khanna would be a much better speaker of the house than Hakeem Jeffries.

    It's a fine line, but I agree with both of them.
    I don't want revenge, I want justice and consequences for abuse of power.

    I would rather have a real healthcare system and functioning support systems for people in need.

    I just want the system to work. Coincidentally, corruption and abuse of power being treated as crimes is a part of that. I don't want more abuses of power.

    So yes, get stuff done on my behalf. And some of those things should require people to lawyer up.

    I know right, well it easy of you apply the rules to everyone.

    Hot take. Close the loopholes for everyone. Limit executive power, for everyone. Campaign finance reform, for everyone. It's not complicated.

    Absolutely. I want a fair government. And any dems in the Epstine files, they’re out too. Government only works if we all have trust in it and the rules and laws are applied evenly and consistently

    Jefferies and Schumer had better not be anywhere the discussion if Democrats want to keep this momentum going. This whole mess was caused by Hillary and DWS not allowing Bernie to run against Trump in 2016...and they are just an extension of that.

    Even Schumer wasn't as tone deaf as Jeffries. He put cleaning the corruption out of the Trump government as his #2 priority (over cost of living, of course). Still a weak answer but nothing like as pathetic as Jeffries.
