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.

    Not old people I met. Trump loving old people don’t want the world to go on without them. My dad, and those around him I heard them talk. They think it’s their right to destroy the planet.

    Some even believe that if we nuke Israeli then Jesus will return. Some of these crazy fuckers are begging for the world to end.

      I suspect those people have always been latent assholes who put themselves before everyone else. Trump just brought it out in the open.
