The reason people like Hakeem Jeffries can't stand people like Zohran Mamdani is the exact same reason people like the Clintons couldn't stand Obama when he first ran; he's showing them that you can win without selling your soul to a machine, and they resent him for it.

Spot on! You need new leaders from new generations who have a developed super ego, morals, ethics and conscience. Who are not in it for the money but for the survival of the people, their children, grand children and an habitable planet for genrations to come.

There is something in that. Also the worst thing HJ could do is endorse anyone. He would subtract cred from ZM.

I didn’t think you could get this much failure in one image I’m surprised either of them can stand up straight since neither one of them has a spine

Obama sold his soul as quickly as the rest. He accomplished next to nothing and his failure to deliver on his promises led directly to the voter cynicism and nihilism that got Trump elected.

Obama. You mean the guy who bailed out a bunch of banks and corporations who were playing stupid games and tanked the economy? He could have just bought a chunk of those organizations and nationalized them. But yea. He totally wasn't a sellout.

Genuinely asking why are you so hung up on Jeffries not publicly endorsing him? Mamdani didn’t endorse Harris and that election was even more important.

Ben B. @abominaldrvibes.bsky.social

I'm not hung up on anyone endorsing or not endorsing anyone. I'm simply pointing out that there's clear resentment from establishment types like Jeffries toward upstarts like Mamdani, and I believe this is why.

I mean plenty of establishment types endorsed him. Jeffries sucks mostly Imo but to make this about all of Dems and not just about this particular Dem is weird and misguided.

I'm not making it about all dems, I'm making it about specifically the establishment types, like Jeffries, who are mad now that they realize they could have run as genuine people and not bots programed by donors and focus groups.

This particular “misguided” dem is in a leadership position for @democrats.org. We have two misguided dems in the most influential positions. They reflect the party, they are not some rogue party of the party.

They don’t reflect the party when it comes to endorsements. Are you serious? They’re individuals who are allowed their own views and opinions. Dems aren’t a hive mind.

I’d give you a minute to figure out why the endorsement / lack of coming from a New Jersey representative doesn’t reflect the representative from West Virginia or Montana. You will figure it out. I believe in you

You are so bright. And I’ll give you a moment to think about how representatives in Montana or West Virginia being ok with the leadership reflects what they stand for…

Jeffries talks a lot about fighting the GOP and how it’s important that Democrats win, but won’t endorse the Democrat candidate for mayor of New York Jefferies is one of the weakest leaders in the history of the Democrat Party He has a big mouth, but no spine

Yall know that Maxwell was given a party by the Clintons right? My god these shills. Its a disgrace to the human race. The centrist moderate dem bullshit needs to be ripped out of the foundation and made to go back to fucking ethics school. Money doesn't give you the right to fuck off. We do.

I'll be honest I never saw the appeal of Jeffries I hated that he was APPOINTED by Nancy Pelosi to be her successor. The fact Dems all got on board was puzzling & troubling. He didn't do anything to earn his spot & now we're all paying the price for it
