I’d dip up in it raw one last time for old times sake.

Is that what it means by saying you won't turn a blind eye to racial issues?

You should be able to do everything else and not turn a blind eye to racial issues imo.

 

[the next guy]

Black politicians will say race over class and then choose the upper class over everyone. Let's see if he can keep the party united.

The corporatists have figured out that the way to keep control is to distract the masses with symbolic identity issues.

Did progressives successfully shift the party or not?

I don't know if anyone ever mentioned his blackness besides the people saying they don't like him.

Welp, I was wrong. For some reason, I thought she agreed to step down in 2024. I remember reading the article about that agreement, its hard to believe that was back in 2018, feels like it was last year. Covid really fukked the timeline up

 

[Wargames]

Go home and be a family man

Considering what they did to her husband this some cold shyt

 

[Wargames]

Dems did better than expected, but the next 2 yrs are gonna be rough. Nothing getting passed and Hunter Biden investigations

Things will get passed. I think the republicans ability to act in uniform has not been weaker and their majority relies on a very thin margin.

After her husband was brutally attacked in their home, She said that would have some influence on her decision making.

Jeffries will ensure that the Dems are more appetizing in a post MAGA world

I think that anyone who thinks that Jeffries will be terrible probably just has issues with how territorial he has been regarding certain Congress seats in NY and towards progressives even though he’s mostly left of center himself. He’s often taken an attack dog role that seems tougher on the left than on Republicans but that’s an overall critique and beef that we are dealing with up here in NY. Otherwise, if you thought Pelosi was fine then you should have no issue with Jeffries.

Thank you for the clear response.
The reasons I'm fine with Pelosi are for things that Jeffries hasn't had the opportunity to do, assuming he even has the ability. So you don't believe his hostilities towards NYC progressives will have broader implications for how he manages house dems? Obviously I'm thinking of the progressive caucus, which he will need to secure his position.
