Time and time again, Jeffries has refused to endorse his own party’s official candidate for mayor in his own city, two months after Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic mayoral primary in New York by double digits – including Jeffries’ own congressional district by eight points.
This is the same Democratic party leader who has insisted in the past that progressives should “vote BLUE (no matter who)”. But centrists? Apparently, they’re under no such obligation.
Jeffries is not alone in his brazen hypocrisy. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader who represents the state of New York and lives in the city of New York, has also refused to endorse his own party’s official candidate for mayor of New York.
Everone hates him so I’d say other than not having massive gains from insider trading he’s living up to her legacy.
You can’t deny Pelosi had her party in lock step. She actually stood up to Trump and the GOP and allegedly even convinced Biden to bow out of the race.
I couldn’t imagine Jeffries doing any of that to a fraction of the efficacy that Pelosi did. Frankly, the only thing I’ve seen him do is dodge questions with vague corpospeak. Pelosi had big flaws but I’d take her over Jeffries’ useless ass any day.
While we are handing out prizes to dubious people for dubious reasons, I’d suppose we’d want to be consistent and hand out the same accolades to the filthy republicans, for exactly the same reasons you praise pelosi?
Are you really awarding points on the technical execution of a system that sells us down the river and allowed Pelosi to get rich on insider trading? Seems a bit grotesque. Screw Pelosi and the republicans too.
He’s the embodiment of a wet noodle.
