This fascist moment, this age of Trump, demands outspoken, unrelenting and fearless opposition. We all deserve better

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.

    This is what happens when you have 70 and 80 year olds in office.

    Jeffries is 55, and already a worthless time-server. Imagine what he’ll be like in 20 years if he’s still in office by then.
