    The thing is, both sides have been corrupted and taken over by disgusting creatures that want to destroy everything you care about. The "lesser evil" is not going to be functionally any less evil than the greater evil is. That's why they take over both sides, so no matter what you choose, they still get what they want.

    The difference is that it's going to be a lot easier to cleanse the taint and the corruption from the side that at least historically held your values and pretends it still does. The work is far from done. The work is only just beginning. Trump has set America back probably 50 years, and it's going to take that long to undo all the damage he's done. This is not a "vote once, problem solved forever" situation. This requires systemic grassroots efforts to plant lots and lots of seeds that will grow into a future harvest. Progressives have our work cut out for us. And there's an awful, awful lot of work to do.

    AIPAC Shakur

    Tupac came from revolutionaries and Black Panthers. Hakeem Jeffries does not have a modicum of the class consciousness that Tupac had. Find a different stupid nickname.

    "He returned time and again to the themes of class inequality, wealth redistribution, and the moral bankruptcy of capitalism. He described the police as an occupying army in black neighborhoods, spoke of prisons as modern-day plantations, and decried the horrors to which US imperialism subjected the Global South. Despite his popularity, he remained angry, impatient, and unrelenting in his belief that another world was possible."

    The Socialist Politics of Tupac Shakur

    Countries don’t have rights to exist. Especially when all their right were gained at gunpoint.

    Humans have rights to exist.

    This is quality. This is productive, because it tells the story WHY he sucks.

    More of these lists they show more than anything else what the politician supports.

    I don't object to shitting on Jeffries but calling him AIPAC Shakur feels very racist. Leave the racism to the zionists

    Don’t forget that Jeffries is often adding dumb middle school level raps to his public speeches. Calling him a fake, corporate, disingenuous Tupac Shakur wannabe fits perfectly.

    That's not everything, just the shit you, quite rightly, disapprove of.

    I am not saying Jeffries is a good pick at all, but this is (somewhat semantic) nonsense.

    He voted for lots of things beside these bills.

    It is not everything he voted for. You are cherry picking the bad stuff to insult him.

    Again, I agree with you. I just don't like the framing of the title and the title alone.

    No, I am not. I am saying he has other accomplishments. They do not outweigh the evil things.

    It's not non-sense. A representatives voting record is the proof behind what they stand for.

    If you want to post the positive things that Jeffries has voted for, go right ahead.

    This is a list of things none of Congress should have voted for, but did.

    Don't tell me you're a good person because you feed the homeless... and then go home to beat your wife...

    As I said, this is not everything he voted for. He made lots of other votes that you may agree with, but we can't list that when calling him a bad, bad, little incompetent man.

    I don't support Jeffries. He still has to go, and I agree this needs to happen for any meaningful change, but this whole post is a bad look.
