Here’s the full question (since Lemmy has title character limits): “With all the stuff going on with this administration and the Supreme Court, is it gonna take a revolution to stop this damn administration and the SCOTUS from curtailing people’s freedoms and liberties at this point because we’re way past the point of reform?”

Oh and how do you fight doomerism these days?

    Jeffries is being primaried by Chi Ossé, a 27 year old socialist Democrat associated with Mamdani, so we need to elevate him, and encourage everyone to vote for him on June 23. Winning the presidency is the goal in 2028, but until then we have a chance to control the House, but if we do, we need a leader who will fight for us, and Jeffries has already proven time and time again, that he is too cowardly, or too corrupt, to do that.

    “Ossé filed to run in New York’s 8th congressional district against Hakeem Jeffries in November 2025, but did not win the endorsement of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America. Following the result, Ossé stated he would not run.”

          Without that guy, I don’t think there’s anyone. I read that both AOC and Mamdani wanted the guy to back off. Apparently Jeffries is helpful in running interference between progressives and the establishment Dems, which was news to me. Also, he was mentored by Pelosi, which is fine, but I don’t have the same reverence for her that others had.

          I respect the opinions of AOC and Mamdani, but I still think Jeffries is a major coward and loser. He and Schmuck just aren’t nearly as aggressive as I expect from the Minority party. Certainly MAGA wasn’t this complacent when they were out of power.

          I wish someone was primarying him, campaigning for your life tends to motivate politicians to do better work.
