      Hakeem is the bright spot despite the gloomy Democratic Party election outcome.

      Get rid of Pelosi and her crabapples and then we can talk power plays.

      Remember all the shit Mitch McConnell did? It’s time for the Democrats to do the same thing. Be absolutely ruthless negotiators.

      It is long past time for Democrats to play dirty. The GOP have no morals or ethics, taking the high road has gotten us nowhere. It’s time to get in the mud with these sick fucks and give them a taste of their own medicine.

      If Hakeem Jeffries were capable of power plays, Donald Trump would not be President

      Been saying for the last year it is time to take the gloves off and fight dirty. The GOP will always do it, need to fight fire with fire.

      This bozo Hakeem has Ben around for ever and can’t do shit

      “Just two of Jeffries’ members broke away and voted for the bill, with a third voting “present,” while 38 Republicans voted to tank it.”

      Who are they and how do we flood their offices with criticism and start looking to primary them?

      Feels like the 2016-2020 cycle again. “GOP successfully did 200 horrific things, but this Dem guy led a charge to hold them off on this one almost meaningless, performative horrible thing, so better things are to come!!!!”

    17. ballskindrapes on

      The issue is this is all performative.

      I’m not saying both parties are the same, clearly they are not.

      But the recent events where Pelosi back stabbed AOC shows that the majority of the party is more interested in keeping the corporate interests happy, the status quo maintained, and performing entirely performative actions rather than actual, meaningful change.

      Imo, this all means nothing as long as the old democratic guard is the majority of the party.

      Did none of them ever say callout the fact that the bill that was getting scrapped was already agreed upon by the Dems and the Reps before it got canned. That was the bill that was supposed to be voted on but Johnson chose to ignore what he had agreed upon? I have not seen this in any place as of yet.

      I feel like at this point r/politics is actually harmful, it presents us outrageous headlines, so we can say “oh no!” an then do absolutely fucking nothing.

      Watch out boys! They about to make SEVERAL more drugs affordable to people on Medicare.

      It’s far more difficult for Dems to do this because they want a functioning government and don’t want to do things like cause millions of Americans to go broke.

      Republicans can just sabotage everything Dems do because Republicans love it when Americans get hurt. They’ll burn down the entire country just to keep Dems from being in charge of it. They have literally zero qualms about throwing their own voters under the bus time and time again.

      This happened 6 days ago and nobody knew it then. The bar is so low.

      It’s time to move past the losing Democrats.

      Hakeem Jeffries rolled over to hurt trans kids in military families and he can suck a fat one.

      If these are the people on my side I’m not sure what the fuck I’m supposed to do.
