They always call for cuts like this when they are not in power then boost funding when they get back in.
They are going to be primaried, right
RIGHT?
Traitors! Bought and paid for by Citizens United.
Dont listen to their words, only watch their actions. By actions alone, these 2 are MAGA.
With Democrats like these it doesn't take a genius to wonder why 1/3rd of the US didn't show up to vote.
We’ve never had a government that put the needs of the people ahead of the wants of the rich. The closest we had was FDR, and even he only pushed the New Deal to stop us from demanding an even better deal.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Didn't realize this was an inappropriate time to try to stop them from kidnapping and murdering people.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
This reeks of post school shooting rhetoric, ‘now is not the time to discuss gun law’ in the immediate aftermath of mass child slaughter.
The appropriate time was years and years ago, or at the very latest January 20, 2017.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
Counterpoint: no you fucking won't
Chuck Schumer literally governs based off an imaginary republican family he made up in his head who he runs all of his policy decisions by before voting. He has talked about this openly and repeatedly, for years. He calls them the “Baileys” and they voted for Trump.
He's worthless
Holy fuck that's pathetic.
Useless fucking losers
The midterms won’t save us. Pitchforks will.
Schumer and Jefferies need to fuck off, and NY voters need to vote in some replacements.
I just don’t see how anyone can hear this and see them as effective leadership. Minority party or not. Like it makes me, a dedicated left wing person, not want to support democrats because they seem to have lost the plot
They haven’t lost the plot, they like the plot. They don’t agree with you, they don’t like you, they don’t want to help you.
New York 8 you know what to do -- primary Jeffries. Start looking for your candidate now.
"Democrats agree with fascism and wont oppose it."
Tell us something we don't know.
Primary these worthless fucks
No need to wait. The elected Democrats can vote them out of their leadership positions now.
PRIMARY ALL OF THE FUCKING DEMOCRATS!!!
Unless they are actively opposing this regime, they are complicit. Full stop. Some worse than others, but just replacing Schumer won't do shit if the rest of the Democrats in Congress are the same milk toast centrist corporate assholes.
They will not go against the wishes of their donors. They do not represent their voters.
Yet people get mad when you say both parties are working together.
Unseat these cowards
The Democrats are why we have fascism ascendant in this country by refusing to be an opposition party.
Stop voting for these incumbent "establishment Democrats." These boring corporatists who only care about their phony baloney jobs. They have never cared about ordinary people. Vote for Democrats who want real change.
Better yet abandon the party all together, their loyalty will always be to wall street
I'm beginning to think they both spent a lot of time raping trafficked children on Trump and Epstein's Pedophile Island and need the distraction.
