    There’s a non-zero chance that Jeffries doesn’t understand how bad this looks and was just thinking that going to it might make republicans more pliable.

    There’s a much larger chance that he a fucking collaborator.

      He’s not interested in the ascendant DSA wing of the party. He’s said that as much.

      People like Jefferies see the parties as theirs not a thing of the peoples.

        Even without the DSA… he’s still trying to work with fucking nazis. He’s a collaborator. With. Nazis.

        it’s entirely possible he was trying to get whatever he could out of kushner, but, that’s very unlikely.

          Well who else is he going to work with? The voters hate him. Democrats, as a party, will happily disenfranchise their own voters, and cede ruling to the other party, so long as they get to stay in place as managers. Its the one consistent thing about Democrats. They care less about winning elections than they doing maintaining personal control of the party.

            If the only people willing to work with you are jackbooted Nazis doing corrupt Nazis things, then maybe you shouldn’t step down. There’s a reason we hate his guts.

            It’s because he doesn’t have any. Or a spine, neither.

            I wish the voters hated him more during the Primary but apparently his DSA opponent was down a 50% margin before dropping out.

      These are some of the biggest Zionist pieces of shit in office on either party.

      Whatever they met about, it was definitely to push Israel’s agenda. My worry is they’re specifically working to get enough votes for the senate to agree to merge the military with Israel’s using Jefferies’s influence in the DNC.

      No matter what the case, we still need him to win in November, because even the absolute worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.

        He’s quite happy to work and plan with them as the leader of the dems. He’s literally happy to collaborate them and work against actual progress how is he at all better?

          Jeffries:

          Now, there’s a bipartisan bill sent over from the Senate. Every single Senate Democrat, every single Senate Republican supported that legislation. It would reopen the TSA, reopen FEMA, reopen the Coast Guard, reopen the ability for our cybersecurity professionals to do their job, while at the same time allowing for discussions—tough negotiations—to continue. On one side of that negotiations are my Republican colleagues who want to continue to spend taxpayer dollars to brutalize and kill American citizens, unleashing masked, untrained ICE agents, in some cases storming homes of everyday Americans, ripping them out of their beds in the middle of the night, ripping children away from their families, detaining people in inhumane conditions, refusing to allow state and local authorities to investigate ICE violence and brutality in ways that will be designed to bring about accountability.

          This debate, at the end of the day, is really all about: Do you want to compel ICE to conduct themselves like every other cop, police officer or law enforcement agency in the country? Or do you want to continue to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to violently target American citizens and law abiding immigrant families? We choose the American way—fair, just and humane. Now, many of my Republican colleagues have come to the Floor to suggest that this legislation is about defunding ICE. That’s a stone cold lie. Because we know that in the Republican One Big Ugly Bill, which ripped away Medicaid from 14 million Americans, the largest cut—almost a trillion dollars—to Medicaid in American history, at the same period of time, extremist Republicans in their One Big Ugly Bill enacted a $186 billion cut to nutritional assistance—literally ripped food from the mouths of hungry children, seniors and veterans.

    Jeffries back tracked on Medicare for all, he’s weak and a loser. Showing his true colors as a centrist corporate Dem. He is not for the people.

    This should be a career-terminating fuck-up for Jeffries. But so far, nothing is being done about it besides media whining.
