Oh, I'm so dumb. I don't understand why Trump trying to fire a member of the fed board is bad because Hakeem Jeffries did not walk me through all the finer points of it. I guess everything is fine and dandy.

Again - how do you reconcile this with the fact that Schumer got the memo and messaged it?

How do I reconcile making fun of you being condescending?

Schumer is saying something different than Jeffries is. I have already explained this but you refuse to listen.

My question is why Jeffies is not echoing Schumer’s sentiment of how dangerous this move is. He has a megaphone. He has the ability to craft a message of opposition so we can build a movement heading into the midterms.

I feel like if people were really concerned with alerting people to how dangerous the current GOP control of the federal government is and building a movement to fight it, they would be talking about something other than how Democrats are messaging wrong. Like the things the GOP is doing for example

The point of leaders is to lead. We elected them to lead. What is their job if not to lead. Having zero expectations of your leaders is not a strategy.

You don't want Jeffries to lead you. Be serious.

I don’t need Jeffies to lead me. I’m going to vote for any Democrat. I need Jeffies to lead the rest of the country.

You don't want that either. Also, not the thing he was elected to do.

He was elected to be a legislator. One of 435 members who need a majority of that body and concurrence of the other house of Congress to set policy. His caucus chose him to lead the caucus.

We don't need Jeffries or Schumer to "build a movement". We need private citizens stepping up. Where are the Abbie Hoffmans and the Tom Haydens?

Lmao good luck with that. Private citizens voted for the fascist and New York including Jeffries district moved massively more red.

6 points to the right isn’t good. And it was enough to cost us our democracy. We need to broaden our appeal to the idiot voters in the middle.
