It is a good sign that a newcomer is broadcasting how the sausage is made rather than falling into line. I hope all these newly elected dems support each other and hold the line against the establishment.

Lean over and whisper in their ear, “the people are coming. Fuck you.”

Then bite off the lobe.

He should expose them ao people do not vote for them next time

All the more reason to not support Jeffries.

Dear NYC DSA, it's time to primary Jeffries.

Leonard, who flipped Ohio’s heavily Republican 15th Congressional District blue last Tuesday, said he told senior party leaders that, to win his support, Jeffries would have to meet with him and his constituents to discuss two priorities. One was a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the 2010 US Supreme Court ruling that struck down restrictions on independent election spending by corporations and unions. The other was ending “US support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”

In a video covered by Drop Site News, Leonard said the unnamed party leaders he met with responded with threats that felt like “the stuff you see in the movies.”

I went from not supporting Jeffries to flat out hating the sob. What a pile of traitorous shit. Schumer too. Asswipes.

The fact that they're speaking about it openly gives me hope tbh

How does someone like Jeffries with absolutely no charisma get into politics let alone become the head of Dem House?

Oh so now they're threatening members to do as they're told? That isn't very "democratic" leadership, is it? 🤔 ...

No wonder Schumer and Jeffries have felt so confident about the seats.

From the article: "Roughly 40 Democrats would need to vote for someone else in order to prevent Jeffries from taking the gavel."

From another article: "Democrats have now flipped over 40 House seats."

🤔

end Citizens United

That's the big one. The people running the party are going to defend their nut.

Congress needs an enema. And an expansion. And the abolishment of the senate. And proportional representation with STAR (or similar) voting. One step at a time, I suppose. Do the good thing, Congressman; fuck what the others think.

What do we do with traitors? Jeffries is a fucking traitor who wants to hand us right back to the fascists. What do we do with him? Do we have absolutely no heroes?

Israel has been expending all of its political capital since O7. It's now almost entirely gone.

You see before this time, Democrats had a strong Jewish caucus in their coalition who equated support for Israel as opposition to antisemitism; same with the converse.

This meant that Israel mostly through AIPAC could bully Democrats by forcing a pledge of fealty in order to get not only their endorsement, but their money, and also an assurance they wouldn't accuse them of being an antisemite and or supporting their opponent.

Cori Bush's primary loss is textbook of this.

But now the tables are turning. The baggage is now associating with Israel and AIPAC. The cost of being tied to them is worse than the consequences of their opposition. Their ability to drive a wedge is diminishing greatly.

The more this is brought out in public, the better.

Republican tactics don’t look good on democrats.

I need names Donnie. Name the names

Get rid of the bully's position of power or accept you will never be free of his demands and retaliation.

Fix it. Or allow it to continue.

That's their option.

Does citizen's united need a constitutional ammendment to overturn?

I guess the ruling is that 1st amendement money is speech. But that means money is lies, terrorism, oppression, fraud, fascism or abridgement of other constitutional rights. We already view "yelling fire in a crowded theater" to not be protected speech. Why should well funded "The theater is completely fine and greatest theater in history of time" lie be protected speech?

They'll never fight for us as hard as they fight for Isreal.

Then you'll just have to go through living hell if you want to make a difference for our country. Unless you're a coward.

Bring it on

I would invite them all to a meeting to discuss that topic and ask them to repeat any threats in person, and then I would laugh loudly in their faces like maniac

The congressional black caucus and party leadership has spent more than a decade setting him up for the job, deliberately pulling strings to ensure he was in the room with the right people. He was picked as a freshman to be a future speaker, they aren’t going to go with an alternative due to the sunk cost fallacy.

Grow a fucking spine. we elected all of you assholes to fight for us, not to sit there and fucking be turned into one of them vampires.

Fucking knew it! Leeja Miller did a video on how the leader are chosen, and when mention it behind close doors. I straight up left comment saying that bet it not a vote, but this who we are running deal with it. Democrats are not fucking Democratic at all when comes to who leads the party.

Lol they can eff off then, don't make threats those pos, they better step off is what they can do! They work for We The People so do what we want!

All traitors

"Big D" is just republicans from 40 - 50 years ago now. A little token social policy, but just hand everything else to the corporations. Keep us arguing over what bathrooms people get to use while they lose every economic and policy battle.

In 2016, Bernie was looking great...until the DNC happened, he sported a black eye, and then endorsed Hillary for some unknown reason. The establishment Dems are just as corrupt as the Repubs. The only hope for America is in the new blood...because the milk's gone bad.

Trump didn't win in 2016...Hillary (and DWS) LOST.

And he should report that right to The People so we know who to primary when the time comes.

We need new leadership!
