Jon Stewart asks why Democratic leaders think they need better messaging rather than better policies. House Leader Hakeem Jeffries replies their solution is "making the American people feel that we understand the pain that they've been in" — the exact thing Stewart was criticizing!

Jeffries seems to think the Democrats' job is to comfort the children in third class as the ship goes down

Dems have no project 2025 because most want a return to what it has been for decades, and that system hasn't been working for people for a long time.
It's time for new leadership and representation as well as bold new policies that really help people, not just the wealthy and large corporations.

I read Hakeem's reply and thought to myself "Oh so you don't actually understand how we feel, you just need to make us feel like you do."
F off you incompetent little puppet and tell us again that when we fight we win....

Hakeem isn’t getting the point. We don’t need you to understand our pain. We need you to serious about addressing it. Starting with every single dem supporting a ban on stock trades in congress, all get behind universal care, education priorities and FIGHTING BACK LIKE OUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!

At 83 years old, Bernie Sanders shows more heart and drive than any of the mainline Democrats, the ones everyone assured us would be so much better.

Jeffries has lost the plot. Most democrats have. Enough talking to the news, do your damn jobs!

American politicians lost the plot when they began supporting a government designed to destroy the dreams of 99% of its constituents so a few greedy b*stards could own everything on the continent… so basically since the mayflower compact lmfao

Jeffries is an empty suit: someone with all the charisma of a wet blanket who ascended to leadership through endearing himself to Pelosi, who herself was already not great.

he's not the nightmare, he's not charismatic enough to be a nightmare. He's the uninspiring cheese eaten late at night that promotes the nightmare.

Jeffries needs to step aside and let someone with some fire, fight and inspiration take over. Oh and a spine!

Or we could collectively move on from the dems?

Have to have another option and have enough people in support of them!

You don’t get there by hoping for it. You don’t get there by complaining about the dems. You get there by working for it.

But they don't understand the pain. They're policies and messaging are very clear on that.

Jack @thejackoning.bsky.social
I would argue that they personally benefit from the pain inflicted on us
30/40
D W the Gutless @dwoboyle.bsky.social
I would further argue that many, if not most, know they benefit and think that's good and how society should function.

Jack @thejackoning.bsky.social
I would add onto furthering the further argue that most of them think; that we the people are literally worth less than them.
Hence why they get free healthcare no matter what the rest of us get
