Another useless corporate dem. No surprises here, unfortunately.

he was appointed by PELOSI to be her replacement, while she takes a hands off approach.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 103 points 1 week ago

This should explain everything.

Jeffries is a representative of Israel; not America.

As useless as Eric Adams.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 93 points 1 week ago

The Dems really are showing their colors as the corporate-backed weasels that they are, and then wonder why their voters are sick of their shit.

Breaking News: Jefferies a former corporate lawyer and current corporate stooge, doesn't like the idea of socialism! How fucking surprising......

If America wants a chance to avoid violent revolution, they really need to kick out any Democrat who has the stink of Thirdway politics about them.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Third way go away!

Mamdani is a great candidate and he only seems to get shallow or dishonest criticism. When he talks policy it's straight forward, sensible and makes economic sense, but his critics talk about him like he's chairman Mao. Totally out of proportion and probably has a lot to do with corporate finance in politics and the DNC specifically.

Blasted.

Remember how primaries are the time for the left to disagree? Well, how now?

When liberals tell me, a trans person, that I need to vote for militant transphobe Gavin Newsom after he's handed the 2028 Democratic primary victory, I'm going to tell them to shove it up their ass.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's no nice way to say this, so mods delete if necessary. It's an election about numbers and progressives will now have to be recognized after the last loss and the success of Mamdani. That is some progress. But the issues of trans people will not be a deciding factor due to the ratio. I hope you get all the care and rights you deserve, but this doesn't sway the vote against literal dictatorship.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Trans people themselves are few. People who care about trans rights are not.

Jeffries is exactly why the public hates establishment democrats.

Jeffries would rather help republicans do all the fascism in the world rather than endorse somebody who criticized fascists actively doing a genocide.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Turns out "Blue" meant Israel all along.

Establishment Dems simply want to co-parent America with reactionaries. There is no vision, only donors. When MAGA is over, going back to this is not going to be acceptable.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Mamdani is exactly what the Democrats need to win.
