In other words, they want Hakeem Jeffries to be their angry Negro just like they tried to push President Obama into.

Regardless of what he says or does they are going to attack him , that’s no reason not to have some balls.
BM acting like angry BM is too often what WP view as an opening for justifiable homicide. Look it up if you doubt. I’m a WW. I know it & despise it. I would never ask BP to put themselves at risk for a job more rightfully my own.
Ahh, what a lovely Sunday block party!
I need to get to blocking. I see my followers are doing overtime. I see some of these assholes have been put on lists. I'm not spending my entire Sunday arguing with them. 😂😂😂
Hell, no, lady! It's YOUR time. Spend it on people you love, not these rancid, self-entitled assholes.
It’s just temperament. Everyone has a way of being in the World. I applaud him for keeping the Dem coalition together effectively. We want to see the strength of rapid fire but he has strength like earth/rock. Sturdy and stoic. Not sure what will happen to these earth, water and air types.
They don’t even know what his job is. They don’t care. If they cared, they would have given him a clear majority to get big things done.
Facts I think he’s naturally stoic and people are expecting him to be hair on fire when that’s just not him. Tbh I can’t see Obama saying anything different if he were in Jeffries seat because they have a similar temperament.
They don't understand that real strength is always boisterous.
We’re facing literal authoritarianism this is not the time to be ‘stoic’.
And they criticized Obama too for the same reason.
This. I would much rather see Hakeem write a dozen more sternly worded letters to the President than actually do anything in service of protecting our democracy.

"those who acquiesce to it", that is.
Actually, we just want Jeffries to grow a spine like Jasmine Crockett, AOC, Maxine Waters, Maxwell Frost, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie and the other brave leaders. Maybe Jeffries just needs a better communications director because he comes off as wishy-washy.
what has Bernie, aoc and warren said that no one else hasn't? enlighten us
aoc and Bernie are so brave flying to majority fight places on bernies fucking private planes LMAO
This is not a human being, it’s scriptfed COINTEL bullshit trying to say everyone who has a problem with a dedicated obstructionist, possibly collaborator, is racist somehow Scrutinize these “black focused” “resist” accounts heavily, they exist to get in the way of communication only
My poor back democrats just have to use the police to destroy black and brown communities, you see. To prevent them from doing that or demand that they display a single antifascist bone, well. Check your privilege, that’s apparently Klan behavior.

1/3 Their behavior exemplifies the spirit of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. DSA-leftists are Strasserism reborn. Hasan Piker & Bernie’s appearances on Theo Von’s podcast, laughing at his every ignorant/bigoted joke, should be *at least* a *major concern* to @usprogressives.bsky.social. Y in’t it?
2/3 @usprogressives.bsky.social *should* be opposed to its titular “leader” legitimizing & agreeing to every insight white entitlement-bigot “comedian” podcaster Theo Von farted out during their interview. Shouldn’t they? youtu.be/TwED_Znc9XQ?...
TL,DW: Bernie pushes Woody Guthrie; calls out the oligarchy / Citizens United / SuperPACs / the Medical/Insurance Complex; tells how to solve the health care problem; discusses drug price negotiation; calls Kamala Harris strong and a good candidate; compliments Biden. Racist joke count: 0.
Optics are paramount in an information war. Bernie laughing as heartily *WITH* (not *AT*) Von as JD Vance is a failure of the most basic test: to STAND UP and CONFRONT a right-white mis/disinformer as popular as Von. As Sharpton would do. youtu.be/gWis2nd0Ux8?...
The information battle here consists of telling Von's audience the truth to persuade them to vote in their own interests again. Judging by the way the Dems edged into positive polling for the first time when Harris came in, they could have won — except the consultants weren't interested in the base.
3/3 @usprogressives.bsky.social should be at *least* concerned when Bernie & AOC’s buddy Hasan Piker makes jokes about how “easy” racism was “in the good old days” with white-right manosphere wizard Theo Von, right? youtu.be/7tT3WEcTZy8?...
Whoever sits in that seat leads an extremely complicated life. Rash language is for others in most cases. Making sure those others get a spotlight is Hakeem’s task. He may need a moment or two for bold talk, but his greatest strength is to be the vortex of calm, reasonable, and responsible.
Exactly!
Just angry would suffice...
I was always amazed at President Obama's ability to keep his composure in the face of endless bullshit, and hoped he had a place in the White House where he could scream and swear. Of course, he knew better than anyone any display of anger would be weaponized against him.
Ty Ebony I needed to hear that.
