I’m still trying to make #jellyfishjeffries a thing lol. But seriously, we need fresh leadership.

I’m all aboard for this.

Or even better... throw her in that time machine and send her back to erase how many years you want in Hakeem Jeffries past. Ugh.

Jeffries is an anemic politician. He is clueless as to what democrats want. This is why Newsom is surging. They want fight and fire instead of milquetoast platitudes. They want vibrant candidates like Mamdami and fighters like Crockett, Moore and AOC. Hakim needs to get out of the way.

Been needed for a long time. Jeffries cannot be trusted

Especially since Jeffries is bought and paid for by AIPAC.

Yes! Yes! Yes! She is so strong, so consistently on point. That’s the leadership we need.

They could swap him out with a stuttering lamp-post at this point and it'd be an upgrade.

Hakeem is definitely super sharp BUT unfortunately is anti-charisma. Exact same with Chuck Schumer. They can best serve the party - if that’s what they really want - by stepping aside. If they don’t step aside, then rank and file Dems need to replace them. Dem’s need high energy and charisma NOW!!!

"Dem’s need high energy and charisma NOW!!!" 💯

Hakeem isn’t ready for a street fight, Jasmine is!!!

Yes!!!

She's the real deal. Real grit.

She's Ann Richards all over (without the booze)

Even without the booze, she's great!

Absolutely!

Jeffries has been throwing cold water on Mamdani's campaign, failing to meet the moment BADLY. We need someone who can read the political landscape and chart the correct course. Jasmine Crockett has far more credibility in that regard!

Maybe he wants to remain "Uncommitted." Being "uncommitted" is okay, right?

Being uncommitted is fine. Jeffries speaks as though there's something suspicious or dangerous about Mamdani. That's not even in the "Blue No Matter Who" spirit. Establishment Dems are poison. Backed by oligarchs, corrupt, out of touch, creepy & ineffective.

The "Uncommitted" & "Abandon Harris" people? Oh NOW it's "blue no matter who?" Nope.

Blue no matter who is bullshit. You have no reading comprehension skills nor understanding.🙂

Yep, it is now. But those folks decided to kill the Voting hostage, as someone on here said. Dummies. You never kill the hostages. Now, people dont care.

What exactly did he say that brings you to that conclusion?

That’s the last thing we need right now—let’s coalesce around these smart young proud & Loud politicians!

Dem “leaders” care more about their status in the party hierarchy than the interests of their constituents.

Amen! By the way, we can break out of our political morass by following the blueprint at @USCitizensCongress.bsky.social. We the People have everything we need to neuter the oligarchs, get $ out of politics, ensure election integrity and make ethics rules so strict that corruption cannot exist!

Dem leaders care more about keeping consultants and pollsters employed than the interests of their constituents!

Most establishment Democrats are also oligarchs. They do quite well financially under Republican administrations. It's a conflict of interest that's killing us!

So angry at "dem leadership"

Please do!!! 👏🏽 Demorats actually think this is good for them when really it just helps lower that approval rating to record levels 😂 hard to imagine but yes it can still go lower. Put Jasmine in!!!

💯 percent agree. Jeffries has rolled over and basically turned his back. Crockett would be a fighter. 💙💙

1000%

Agreed 👍

A bowl of oatmeal would be better

Dems do what AIPAC tells them to do. AIPAC doesn’t want Mamdani, sooo🤷🏿‍♂️

HJ is a toothless, well-fed, guard dog.

Why hasn’t the Black man magically fixed everything for white people who put all three branches for government into GOP power?

I have always believed our political system is so passive. You know, like diarrhea w/o tp.

Jeffries is Milquetoast... He thinks there is still middle ground! There isn't when you deal with extremists

What has he done that makes you think he is trying to seek middle ground with extremists?

His demeanor. I get calm but we need ANGRY WITH INTELLECT. That is a rare combo but it's possible

Vibes. These people are ridiculous.

Swap Hakeem out with literally anybody with a pulse….and send Schumer with him. We’re being led by clowns while the country burns.

Yes!

I love her too. Her new haircut looks beautiful on her. I have a bob cut too & that's really the longest I can tolerate my hair because I get overheated so easily. I think it makes Jasmine look more professional. I think that she'd be a great Speaker. However, I think she should aim higher.

I think either she or AOC could be our first woman president. To finally have a woman president who is also of color would be thrilling for all of us, and I think women of color deserve to finally have this kind of representation. Our country is so much more than just old white men.

Agree. Love Jasmine and always listen to what she is saying. Have always liked Hakeem but a voice like Jasmine is really what we need.

lol! -that should accelerate the party exodus

HAKEEM JEFFRIES HAS FAILED TO SOLVE A SINGLE RIDDLE OR PUZZLE I'VE SENT HIM, AND THUS HE SHALL NOT HAVE MY SUPPORT. ENJOY YOUR RIDDLE-LESS CANDIDATE, BECAUSE I'M CASTING A HEX ON HIM!

A lukewarm cup of expired milk has more fire than hakeem jeffries.

Oooooooooooh!

Yea

Crockett has the REAL SPIRIT THAT WE NEED IN 2025 ✊️✊️✊️🎶🎵✊️✊️✊️

She shows all the signs of a leader. 👏

Easy to stand behind her with confidence Here in Canada I voted a competent leader and trust him to do best by me She is has the same intelligence and brawn

A girl can dream.

Dems should fuck off and give workers a go

Mrs. Bowers, I do believe, you're absolutely right 😘

For sure.

Jeffries has been bought and paid for…… that’s why we are stuck with him

That would be UH-MAZING! 😍

THANK YOU! They also need to get rid of Booker, the DNC chair, Elsie Steffanik, AOC, (two faced) Bernie Sanders, Shumer just to name a few.

I totally agree. jeffries has shown his true colors. What a waste. Jasmine for Speaker of the house. @crockett.house.gov @provokediscussion.bsky.social

You have no idea what a congressional leader does –they whip votes to pass legislation and keep their caucus together. They don’t endorse mayoral candidates or need killer public speaking skills. Exploiting ragebait and ignorance for clicks at this time in America is disgusting.

Shumar with a dirty sock

Not sure, for many she's probably too fiery. But Hakeem definitely needs to step aside, too boring and un-energetic, just like old Schumer. What about Jamie Raskin?

Agreed. Or Joe Neguse.

Should have a fire sale on anyone older than 75 is forced to retire by forced primaries. The Democrats RE ELECTING SCHUMER to leader tells me everything I need to know about how clueless Democrats are now in leadership. They have none and play softball and then go after their own fighting.

I would love to see the D ems run Crockett and Butigieg in 28!

Absolutely I agree

And swap out Chuck Schumer for Adam Schiff.

Yes, indeed.

Honeslty the entire leadership team should be primaried out, they have in every single way failed the American people. Moaning and bitching fixes nothing. Step up and fight, even if you can't win, because people need to know someone is. Right now the Dems should be surging not tanking in the polls

Amen!

I'd more prefer Nina Turner.

I suspect Mr. Jeffries has been bought by the same New Yorkers who are so upset at the prospect of Mr. Mamdani becoming Mayor.

Stat!

Yesssss!

Did you see that Trump admitted to wanting to be a dictator and now he's acting like one and he's not even hiding it anymore

I want a moderate Dem who doesn’t fuck around. The end.

NO. No more moderates. We need action!

I want action, but I also want this country to level the fuck put. This right bs left pendulum is ruining us. Give me Mayor Pete for prez

I love Pete, but I think he drank a bit of the moderate Kool-aid... he's too corporate. If he ends up being the nominee, I'm right behind him!!!

I guess as a moderate I feel it from both sides. We need to level out and find that we have way more in common than we disagree on, at a human level and as Americans. Trumps hatred for everyone, including the low income rural maga voters has us on the ropes. A moderate is the answer for today

Moderates got us Jeffries, Schumer, (the late) Feinstein, Booker, Gillibrand, and other middle-of-the-road Dems afraid of their own shadow. We need fighters like Crockett, Frost, AOC, Whitehouse, & Raskin and governors like Pritzker, Newsom, Moore, and Walz who aren't afraid to stand up to bullies.

Perhaps this is where our minor disconnect is. I am sort of a centrist on many issues, and have even voted republican occasionally in the past. Today? I hate just about everything about drumpf and today’s gop. I want some asskicking centrists. But anyone against drumpf sounds good, so I’m in!

But as good as he is, it will be a while before a majority will accept him; but he’s so smart. We can’t be too “out there” now. We need order—and we need to save our America.

Let me guess, another White Bigot for #MayoPete #SystemicRacism 🙄🤦‍♀️🤡💩

You are the type that belongs over on X. Bye troll

The Republican Party is putting the finishing touches on the One Party Nazi State that they have been building for 50 years. Democratic 'Leaders' like Jeffries and Schumer are holding the ribbon. The Nazis weren't destroyed with appeasement. The GOP NSDAP won't be either.

💯

PLEASE!!!!!

Milquetoast for a jalapeño. Do it

Mr Cocoa Puffs needs to go

I concur.

Hakeem has no fire and no passion! Janine is smart and a hell of a fighter!

They could swap his with a rock and get more fire.

YES. I can think of so many of them who’d be better. Jasmine Crockett, Maxwell Frost, AOC, Greg Casar, Eric Swalwell, Melanie Stansbury, just for starts.

First read this as "remove both Jeffries and Crockett" -- phrasing could be better

I agree Jeffries is too old school. We can't used the same tactics that once worked for a different time. We're in uncharted territory and he's trying to use a tired playbook.

His tactics? He represents the people who put money in his pocket: AIPAC.

What did he do for that money?

He’s a Christian cuck.

A playbook they NEVER use. Dems: “You punched me! Rule number 4 says you can’t..” GOP: “ Fuck off, commie. Take this!” Dem: “gets punched again and again.” GOP : “You guys have rulebooks? Dorks.”

This is some disingenuous bullshit

Is it though?

Yep.

I was talking about the skit I set up. They might be talking to someone else? I’m off today.

Pelosi chose him for a reason. Puppet

Jeffries is bought. He is loyal to the purchaser not his constituents.

I tried to be loyal to Jeffries and kept expecting him to grow into the job and he’s apparently a good vote counter but we need more than that now. He seems too mellow to bring fire. We need fire.

He was presented with an unprecedented challenge, and he failed to rise to it (in fairness, he did far better than his Senate counterpart, who took a dive), and it's time to move on to someone better suited.

Agree.

Ok genius what do you suggest a “better” leader do?

He’s smart and a great rapper, but too loyal to the special interest groups….

I've come to the same conclusion about Jeffries.

He has no charisma and is totally ineffective as a leader.

Who fucking cares about his fucking charisma?

Central to his ineffectiveness as a leader.

He is Chuck Schumer Lite. We need Jasmine Crockett.

Chuck Schumer got the most lifetime Federal judge appointments in history. I’ll never understand the beating up of him and Jeffries

Agreed. I can get the disappointment in Schumer. But Jeffries has done everything that a minority leader can. I wish he wouldn't gesture so much with his hands, but that's a personal thing.

Every other job requires you to keep up with the times. Why not politicians? This is not the 1990s (or 80s, for that matter); your methods need to evolve with the changing landscape. If you're fighting with weapons and tactics from the previous war, you're most likely going to lose _this_one_.

Ok, what does that statistic look like when you divide by years served? That's also a metric that basically just goes for whoever held the ball at the right time for the longest 🫠 and he didn't secure appointments when it was the most critical for him to do so.

BS

Actually, he had to manipulate Republicans to get some of those judges at the end. Many couldn’t have done that

The ABSOLUTE TRUTH !!!! 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻. I 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫵🏾💙💙💙✔️

Y’kno, I think she just lost her seat due to the redistricting. She may have all kinds of time to focus on national now.

I read somewhere that she's going to run in another district, and will probably win.

I hope so, we need more like her

I hope so - but I have a feeling some safe centrist establishment Dem will be chosen for that seat.

It would be hilarious if Dems won the majority in Texas. And we just might be laughing, too!

There has been a lawsuit filed to nullify the Asshole Governor’s signature. Abbott keeps one on hand on a pen and Donald’s 🍄‍🟫 in the other.

Or statewide. Run for governor with the message of "Abbott took away my seat, so I'm going to take his"

Might tempt me to move to Texas just to vote for her … 🤔Nah, can’t do it

No she didn’t besides a sitting Congress member cannot be fired through redistricting!

Good to know. I thought they would at least get to finish their term, but that’s according to the rules as we knew them. Every day we continue to let DonOld write illegal orders, lessens our freedoms

Exactly and everyday republican supporters go along with this it another 5-10 yrs of disastrous policy are added!

She’s going to a different district. She’s smart…she’s got this

No her seat is fine she's in the 30th

That is part of their goal.

No one seems to be giving the Citizens of Texas any credit. There are more registered Dem's in Texas than Republicans. They may have the ability to pick up 5 seats, however as someone who lives in Texas pointed out: due to their redistricting 10 other seats are now up for grabs.

I give you credit. Texas is more blue than people realize, they have been cheated and gerrymandered for decades. I🫡🫡🫡🫡🫵🏾💙💙💙✔️

After 2 failed tries with Beto, I have zero faith in Texans…

It's a question of time. The R's have been held in power for the last 35yrs by the Republican Rich Boomer generation who even vote against their own principles. 28' is numerically when D's first have a chance - but it's important to make *progress* in 26' to prepare for it.

Good description.

Damn good description!👍😀

Two Schumers 🤮

GFY

Pelosi 2.0 isn't going to get us where we need to be... in fact, I think it's how we wound up where we are. We've gotta move on FAST!

I agree but I believe Crockett can count votes, and we need her straight talking manner

I, personally, at this point do not think he is the leader we need. Sentiment is okay but it doesn't get the job done. We need somebody who knows how to use the blowtorch!

Okay. But let's see what he can do with the gavel before you judge him as a leader.

He’s NOT THE LEADER! Do you understand that Democrats are the MINORITY party?

Jasmine Crockett isn't the leader either but she puts up a fight!

Beyond talking, I am not aware nor have I heard and seen any action by Jeffries to retake the House. He is totally ineffective and the House Democrats should select a new leader. By the way, same for the Senate too.

he’s completely underwhelming as a Brooklyn politician, I wish we could replace him with someone like Ras Baraka instead

Jeffries is a conservative Democrat and controlled opposition.

Do you know what the fuck WORDS MEAN? When did democrats become as stupid as MAGAtards?

Oh no, capslock. Jeffries is great for performative action but he still votes to support fascist nominations and actively opposed progressive candidates. He's not on our side. They're playing good cop bad cop with us, and you need to understand that.

And that's BEFORE we even touch the AIPAC conversation.

The tired playbook of being the Minority Leader of the House??

100% ✅

Excellent plan

Going after Jeffries is about as useful as going after Biden was. And look where that got us.

No he should step aside and let her take the lead...

We have a few strong women who should supplant Hakeem. AOC is another.

Yes they do, and that kind of provocation.

We need to replace anyone who isn't prepared to fight. Hakeem's message and Schumer's ineffective stance is not doing us any good. TAKE THE GOD DAMNED GLOVES OFF TAKE IT TO THE GOP/MAGA WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK LIKE NEWSOM IS! CROCKETT, RASKIN, AOC, MURPHY, SCHIFF THE MESSAGE MUST CHANGE!

Yes and Amy Klobuchar for Chuck Schumer. He’s weak as fuck.

Amy Klobuchar posed for a picture with Netanyahu last time he was in Washington. I liked her before that. Not now.

No wonder she loves Netanyahu.

Klobuchar does have better staff than AOC. Amy voted no on rearming the Iron Dome unlike AOC. Those votes will come back and bite them like HRC voting for the invasion of Iraq.

No for Amy blah blah blah

#FireWithFire

Sadly, Hakeem seems compromised.

Jeffries is not just old school. He is fully an establishment/corporate Dem more concerned with his wealthy donors on Wall Street than his working constituents on Main Street.

Yes they do. They won’t… but yes they absolutely do!

Yes, or AOC, or Rep Frost.

Katie Porter was great too She lost to Schiff and shouldn’t have

I always liked her. I think she is destined for greater things.

Schiff shouldn’t even be allowed in public service. His blatant dishonesty and outright lies gave MAGA the excuses they needed to ignore the January 6 investigation and seal its doom.

MAGA never needed an excuse, and Schiff is a good and decent man.

lol ok. One, there were a lot more people than MAGA to convince that it wasn’t just a Democratic hoax. Two, I disagree and think dishonesty is not decent.

So, I guess we can agree to disagree. I watched every minute of the J6 hearings, and they proved their point. And two the only "hoax" I see is sitting in our White House smelling the place up. And making it look like the Kremlin.

We can agree to disagree, but you are disagreeing with reality, not an opinion. Schiff gave MAGA this weapon.

Schiff and Schumer....both useless....now and then. BTW are they preparing another sternly worded letter?

It seems that is all they know and that’s why we are where are

Tired of the playing nice routine! Fight fire with fire!

Sign me up!!

He’s worthless.

stop. they perform entirely different functions.

Agree 100% Hakeem's initial hand-wringing at Newsom's EFFECTIVE response to Texas' election rigging says it all. Time to retire feckless Dem' Old Guard; in with effective political warriors like Crockett and Newsom. This is a fight for the heart and soul of America. 🇺🇸

Amen

We need all hands on deck. United.

Jazzy is a dim bulb. I say…Go For It!

I agree!

I’m so tired of Hakeem.

I agree

Lord please omg

I may get crucified for saying this, but Hakeem wants to be Obama 2.0 so badly. He copies all his speech patterns and mannerisms. He’s insufferable to me. I’ll support him because I’m all in for circling our wagons like the Repubs do, but Jasmine would be incendiary! 🔥🔥 I agree with you!

Be prepared to defend this great opinion. Lot of Jeffries people around here. I will back him when needed but we can do better.

I always got a vibe from him that seemed off. Now I know why. (I never said anything because I didn't want to be vaguely and ignorantly critical.)

Hakeem may send a strongly worded letter about it.

Using the ABCs

Absolutely

🔥🔥🔥 I’d vote for that.

I agree. While I like Jeffries, he's too metered when he speaks - Jasmine doesn't hold back.

Im glad there is at least one person that understands her when she speaks.

WHO THE FUCK CARES? This isn't a game show. She has her role, he has his, and WHAT he says matters not HOW. Get your jollies elsewhere.

Get the fuck outta here, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social!

Yesssss. She’s the best!!!!!

Or @katieporteroc.bsky.social !! She's also a firecracker 🧨

She’s not in Congress Doofy

Lol.... no kidding. Whoever would have thought that someone running as a candidate for governor, could eventually EVER be president? Cos that's NEVER happened has it? 😂😀

The post you responded to was about who should be House Minority Leader. Porter ran for Gov. for some reason, lost and ended up OUT. She also tried to override Rep. Waters on Committee appointments. Whiteboard lady got too big for her britches 🤷‍♀️. Maybe stick to Aussie politics.

Typical MAGA grrl telling people what to do? How authoritarian of you. Nah, I'll comment on whichever politics I want. You gonna send the National Guard to stop me, dufus? 🤣😂

yes

i would love that. she is what we really need. Hakeem just doesn't have the energy fir what's going on.

And when she doesn’t magically fix everything for white people, they’ll turn on her too.

She brings the fire and receipts.

I’m a NYer and Hakeem embarrasses me so much. he’s useless. would love for Ms. Crockett to be Dem house leader.

Abso-fuckin-lutely.

I believe she’s taken money from that certain organization. I read it but never verified it.

What organization? Research it! let us know.

Stop it.

YES!

Nope. Jon Stewart.

We need to get rid of Jeffries as fast as we humanly can. He's destroying the Democratic party from within as every single corporate Dem is doing. Americans being to afraid and unwilling to fight back, Dems WILL play a significant role when fascism takes over. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/i-research...

They would need to do the actual swapping because I am not sure he has a pulse.

💯

Good God, don't start the next round of "shoot the leader for not meeting our standards for trash-talking..." Ms. Crockett is a fantastic warrior who knows in part she gets to freely be that way because she is NOT in a leadership position and is protected by her current role.

Bullshit. We should absolutely be dumping their coward arses. Why should we vote for people who show a willingness to remain silent, or when they do speak bitch about being in the minority or taking shots at candidates from their own party? Fail to meet the moment, lose your job.

Tell us all about your big fightin' actions out there, Chad.

Attending protests locally, supporting where I can elsewhere, organising and helping others reach out to their representatives, and all that without the power of an elected official. What are you doing to stop it?

Yep. It is as if some corporate Dem supporters want to lose again.

Yep. We need both the quiet and the loud, and most of all we need the best messaging. Not just what a horror the tRump Regime/Proj 2025 snakes are, but what Dems' ACHIEVABLE goals are for bettering people's lives together with effective statements on the steps to achieving those goals.

Exactly!

Exactly.

She's still a zionist. Sorry, nope Used to love jasmine. But I don't support any god damned zionist.

Not sure what that means. You want Crockett as our next speaker? She's a two term congresswoman. Noone is keeping her off the airwaves, and the party isn't trying to stifle her. Yes, moderate ppl behave more moderately, & this moment demands passion. But I think you understate his zeal.

💯. Poor fellow. He's either unable to muster the quality required for the moment, or is conflicted. He needs some classes with Gavin Newsom.

He needs to RETIRE.

You need to be on the side of the liberal Democrats and not MAGA idiots!

So wait, wanting a more effective response from the Dem “leadership” than what we’ve seen in the past 8 months of the Felon administration doing whatever they damn well please makes you MAGA now? Do tell. Please explain.

So it would seem. The fact is we're no longer in a democracy. You just have to stay within the law, but if you play by established rules you will be screwed savagely. They start with gerrymandering, and threatening and arresting public officials. Leadership now must be of the Mandela fashion.

You make some good points, you are right. I’m seeing it clearly now. Thanks

bsky.app/profile/af68...

bsky.app/profile/af68...

Release all the Epstein files.

You make a good point. Ya, our Democratic leaders ARE weak and they need to hear our complaints!

It’s the only way to get a response. And I feel like we’re not getting much in the way of response or results.

Now that I read your comments I am convinced that our Democratic leaders are failing us. I was being overly patriotic. These are dangerously times

Patriotism requires loyalty to country over party, to the constitution & the rule of law most of all. What’s good for a political party isn’t necessarily what’s good for American citizens. I’d say it’s been pretty clear that neither party has been interested in serving the people of America lately.

You need to stop licking boots, "liberal Democrat"

It's not boot licking. We can point out someone's shortcomings, and our disappointment with their stewardship, but acknowledge they've earned that position. That's all.

You got that right!!

He needs to be replaced

Watch the last three Jeffries speeches before making judgment--including the one in Illinois.

We don't need anymore speeches, we need more people who can talk shit and back it up

Back it up with what? We all want action, but they don’t have the votes.

They took action to coordinate lawsuits with state governors and attorneys general. That was the plan since February 2nd. By May there were 328 lawsuits. www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

The party has been doing a remarkable job since the capitulation in the Senate, but we knew what was coming. Trump only respects fearlessness and power. Kudos to AOC, Crockett, Frost, Mandani, the Senators and Governors, and the army of others holding the line. It's about what is required.

From a different standpoint: This is protracted warfare with multiple fronts. In other words, multiple "theatres of conflict."

The legal battles are another front. The online battles against misinformation in social media--another front of conflict. -Congress -SCOTUS -Elections (which has a legal component, the gerrymandering ordeal, election tampering, voter suppression, and investigation of the 2024 prez election)

The media narrative--another front. (Obviously many of these fronts overlap and have sub categories, such as the public sentiment of various demographic groups) the military component/martial law/ICE front which overlaps with the immigration/concentration camp ordeal And so on

All the points you have raised I agree with, they are rational and valid. We need to be strategic, focused and intentional. We also need unity, and must prioritize. However, the culture and environment demands that we are led by warriors and populists. Timidity and split loyalties, not acceptable

No one leader in the resistance is going to manage ALL that shit. Even if they could, they'd get sniped by tall poppy syndrome and the massive arsenal of funds the Fascists have. Or disappeared by some heinous Gestapo antics.

You need to fucking educate yourself instead of having information spoonfed to you

These dire times require people to rise to the occasion. You want the politicians to do so--and you are also not exempt

When I say watch the fucking speech--it's because Jeffries IS fucking delivering. One of his deliverables for the recess was to to work on the Democratic "Vision". That's what the speech is about.

He's all talk and no action, a piss-poor excuse of leader and needs to be replaced by someone who does more than give a good speech

Sounds like you don't have half a clue 1. What action means 2. What his job is 3. What his achievements are Evidently, you are obliviousAF. Fix your shit.

FIX IT. FIX YOU. Lady. Fix. Now.

Unless you are a troll--then just pick up your paycheck in Rubles or what not

bsky.app/profile/n1gh...

The speech that none of you are sharing. Great job with teamwork! Maybe if you weren't so fucking prejudice against Jeffries--you'd be fucking helpful. Seems the trolls have won that round. Keep succumbing.

This is Hakeem’s problem….

💯

I see mortgage fraud in her future. 🙃

JC ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✊🏼

Agreed

Absofuckinglutely!

We’re not in the same political fight as we were 10 years ago. We have people in power willing to burn the country down to stay in power. I don’t care who it is but we need people to start fighting back. We have to stop this, if they go low we go high 💩. We have to get in the dirt with them.

Yes!

Yes please!

Jeffries needs a free trebuchet ride.

She is the moment

Agreed 💯!

Nancy’s wisdom, experience and steely capabilities at House machinations and *numbers* combined with Jasmine’s youthful, savvy communication skills backed up by legal beagle jurisprudence capabilities could be a helluva team combination, indeed. Plug in AOC and good things can happen.

Hello, I am Ammar from Gaza. I suffer from hunger and anxiety. I have run out of food and medicine. We are suffering a lot. I ask for help. Enter my page, Look for it and donate to me even if it is a little, thank you 🍉🙏

And passion.........

YESSSSS

Jasmine and Noem's Israel trip to weaponize Netanyahu isn't anything I would admire. She is dead to me.

Do tell.

Crockett supports Netanyahu?

Where did you hear this? Crockett hasn't been to Israel since Aug of '23 and certainly hasn't ever been on any trip with Noem, ever.

Google it.

I did, it never happened.

That works for me! Ms. Jasmine "the 🚀" Crockett

I approve this message

Dems need to do something drastic. Far too many come across as pearl-clutching weak versions of Neville Chamberlain.

This isn't it.

Really?

They need a change of leadership, new strategy and fighters to make it happen .

I'd vote for that. Yes, we need a fighter NOW

Define "fighter". It's all performance w too many of you. FIGHTER is figuring tactics and votes and what a MINORITY party can do legally. She can be the spark. He's the steady flame.

Agreed unless y’all think being scolded to death is the way to go! I don’t action,strength and words the way to move forward!

Absolutely...Jeffries had his shot and blew it...

We wanted Stacy Abrams or Ben Wikler for the DNC and we got another old white man.

Do you actually know how old Ken Martin is? The “ old white man” is 52. Don’t make yourself sound like you’re ageist

Absolutely! Jasmine would bring the fire we need!!

Oh, and Cuck Schumer...

Agreed! Dems need yo take the gloves off. If a rep isn't up for the fight, they should be replaced.

bsky.app/profile/af68...

Currently, the occupation of DC. Hegseth is arming the guard in DC. Red states committing their guard troops to trump. His own private army. Ongoing threats to blue cities. Where is the outrage by the dem leadership. I'm not distracted. I'm enraged. We should all be enraged & engaged.

bsky.app/profile/af68...

Agreed!

bsky.app/profile/af68...

bsky.app/profile/af68...

100% @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Step down! @housedemocrats.bsky.social Vote to install @crockett.house.gov as Leader. We can't afford not to.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes! OMG YES!!!

OMG no. Stop demanding theater. She is free to do what she does NOT weighed down with duties which he's holding up to admirably. Division of labor - get your fire elsewhere.

Or AOC. Lots of better options.

Yes. Follow the money too, the money mutes those who would be much more effective if they could speak and act freely vs. keeping lobbies and donors happy. None of that will matter if this regime is not effectively ousted in the 2026 midterms.

Totally agree. But I think it makes a huge difference WHERE the money's coming from, how freely someone can speak their convictions and represent the people.

Oh for sure!

we need more of this messaging.

Amen!

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has been SUCH a disappointment - no leadership, very little to say. It's like he's given up. Meanwhile, @crockett.house.gov has been out there leading the charge. Mr. Jeffries, I want to like you and admire you but my requests to your office have been ignored.

Shut the fuck up.

They've been trying to stay palatable to business, imho, but "business" wants it all now. Well, everything but the responsibility and reinvestment, lol. Business has completely backfired and turned Republicans into zombies. There's no point in mollycoddeling those snakes.

Hell yes, great idea thar DEM won't actually do. Pfffff

That sounds good but with redistricting in Texas Jamine may not have a seat.

🎯

The Dems should endorse the Green Party and create the largest progressive coalition in the country. This would bring out the 40% of those who do not care to vote for either of the two corrupt and criminal parties. Continuing to tinker at the edges of doing too little is madness.

The reason they “do too little” is they still adhere to failed “neoliberal economics”ideology (aka trickledown, welfare for billionaires/austerity for everyone else/supply side/“abundance”). This is why they attack progressives vehemently and allowed the right to go full fascist without lifting a

… finger. It is what the Money wanted. The Dems have repeatedly chosen to crush progressives and lose rather than share the tent. Progressives have tried to share the tent, but we’re not okay with loosing and getting rolled by Nazis. And now everyone can see that peak neolib is oligarchy & fascism.

History has proven the path away from fascism is more income and opportunity equity, stronger social safety nets, and other non-neolib progressive ideas. We can still have a big tent, but we can’t operate under 2 opposing ideas for the country….

Can neolib Dems give up their cultish adherence the ideas that transferred 80 trillion in wealth to the 1% over the past 40 yrs? Is it going to be neolib more-for-billionaires, lesser-of-two-evils, a-little-genocide-is-okay, repub-lite or progressives and a planet we can live on?

I’m sorry but y’all don’t seem to understand the role of a minority leader. They are technicians, vote counters, immersed in the minutiae of parliamentary procedure. We don’t want Jasmine Crockett (My Congressperson!) or AOC or anyone similar wasting their time in that way.

Facts!

Or Al Green. He warned us about the rule book.

Al Greens district just got gerrymandered in Texas. It went from strongly Democrat to solid republican. He won't be back unfortunately.

Al Green has been so unfairly maligned. Pisses me off

“Al Green’s Cane” would be a great name for a rock band.

It would be

Too funny - yes indeed!

Nod to Dave Barry?

😃 Bestie!!!

It's time for leadership from a younger generation.

💯

Ditto. Hakeem is ok, but his long pauses between words, & use of safe, risk-free words, takes away the punch of his comments. Be creative, add satire-sarcasm. I said it before, Crockett, Moskowitz & Raskin should be having workshops for the rest of the Dems on how to effectively punch-back.🤣

No they shouldn't be having workshops. They should be leading the Democrats but should be isn't. What happens. What's happening is what always happens.

💯

There's already enough "fire" and "dark" in the world. Just look at MAGA!

Fire is good but when it is out of control, all it brings is devastation. I think highly of Rep. Crockett and expect her to have a bright future. I don't like "dark woke" at all.

When you say dark woke Bill, exactly what do you mean? I'm not familiar with that term.

I first encountered the term when Jasmine Crocket herself used it. You can find history on wikipedia or google it. Thx for your question.

Thanks for the answer. It makes sense now.

I don’t think we have any other options besides going low. Going high did nothing.

Establishment Democrats would NEVER go for that!

The establishment Dems are a good part of why we are in this shit show

True that!

Schumer and Pelosi I'm looking at you

TODAY!!!

F off

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Let's go Man, FIRE UP!!🔥

Damn right.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social learned all of his tactics from someone who never learned what to do in a no rules streetfight @nancypelosi.bsky.social

Pelosi was a boss

A boss playing by a rulebook, not a boss doing whatever it took to win

And what do the far lefties do? Lecture about billionaires while spending MILLIONS on their platforms to self promote. She’s in the safest district in the country spending that much money. Self promoting on platforms is not law making or improving people’s lives

She is traveling all over this country speaking and organizing against Trump. I've given her money to do exactly that.

My congressman is actually better at speaking than her but, but he never gets attention because he doesn’t spend all his money self promoting on billionaire platforms. He’s also got a lot more done

Can't we all get along. I like my congressman too. We need everybody doing what she was doing. (And at the time, she was getting record breaking crowds in places like Arizona and Colorado.) We need each and every representative taking the public battle to Trump. NO to circular firing squads.

I’m in a swing district and the Socialist hurt us more than help us. Crowds at rallies are meaningless. Beto had huge crowds too

Yes, and Beto is doing great work in Texas. That's where I have lived all my life.

I remember when Dems used to win there

So is everyone else.

She never even TRIED to enter legislation until the GOP took over. Why? She knew it wouldn't pass, her cult would say "Oh, look what she did!" w/o any work, and she be free to be a media influencer and talk about manicures.

Pelosi betrayed President Biden and she is a Wall Street Democrat.

Agree about Biden

And she had a quirky personality, too. She wasn't fire and brimstone.

I agree with all of you. But I think we should focus first on getting power back for the Democrats. We are in the biggest battle of our lives & there's too much at stake now to spend time criticizing Democrats. There are actual bots that go around talking trash about Dems & it is to distract us.

The GOP (& Russia) are hoping they can discourage enough of us to stay home next election day. Of course, everyone has the right to talk about whatever they want. I am guilty myself for posting about my frustrations w/ the Dems. I just don't think it's the most constructive use of our time.

There were a lot of people turned off by the Democratic party in November & those people mostly stayed home. But some held their nose and voted for Trump. If you are able to volunteer w/ your local Democratic party, I urge you to do so. Especially if you are feeling helpless. It truly helps.

I will always vote Dem until every MAGA is purged. Dems are doing themselves and USA no favors now nor during last 12 years. I will continue to call them out as they need to change to energize the voters not ask base to flog the dead horses many of them have become

There’s no amount of dirty that’s unusable in the street fight. Kick them in the balls, throw dirt in their eyes, rabbit them on that dome. Whatever has to be done to end it quickly, effectively, and brutally.

EXACTLY as not everyone has that kind of fight in them and we need to recruit as many Dems who do as we can

aka Chuck Schumer….

@schumer.senate.gov would sooner hide behind a moyle than get dirty in a fight

See @schumer.senate.gov? We haven't forgotten about you....

Would like to, tho... Couple names I'd like to never hear again - barring the BBO that instigates celebration

Lol

Lol

Pelosi and other old school Dems share a good bit of the blame for overstaying the usefulness. They're about 2 decades behind in their grasp on this country.

No. That would handcuff Crockett to DC more and add in layers of the administrative, legislative and other jobs that people apparently think just go away because of the current dangers.

And these people would turn on Crockett in mere minutes.

We’ve already seen that. Predictably.

I would suggest a House Democrats version of "Charlie's Angels" representing left, progressive, and traditional ideologies and representing the ethnic/cultural diversity of the Dem coalition. Crockett, AOC, and a House version of Elizabeth Warren (any ideas? ... Judy Chu (D-CA)?).

Sydney Kamlager-Dove's name keeps popping up, too -- she is quite active on social media.

No. We just need people who are forward-thinking. Who cares what their ethnic background is

💯🎯

This is one helluva good idea! Jeffries is too tentative.
