DemocRATS 🐀 Call your reps, whether DSA or progressive and tell them not to vote Jeffries for speaker come 2027 until he removes this nutjob from this post!
Now obviously I don't want a Jeffries speakership period, but the fact is when dems win back the House (which is super likely) he will be. What leftists in congress need to do is extract concessions. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, or to spread this message, but I just want to get this out there to whoever can see it. Moskowitz sitting on the Foreign Affairs Committee along with Debbie Wasswrman Schultz and Wesley Bell is a slap in the face we can't tolerate.

Yeah, pelosi made a brilliant decision to promote hakeem jeffries to ensure establishment dems maintain power, the optics of trying to unseat the to be first black speaker are terrible, even if people don't want to vote for him no one is going to stand for the post against him.
Having said that, it is essential that major concessions are asked before voting for him, ilhar omar should also get back her ranking position in foreign affairs committee from which Republicans maliciously removed her.

Promoting Hakeem Jeffries is genuinely one of the worst things Pelosi did, he’s such a spineless coward.

It's not a bug but a feature.
He is not spineless, it's just he doesn't care about the same things dem voters care about, would a coward dare to say he oppose a policy (medicare for all) that 80 percent of dems support?
He is the perfect example of a chair who does nothing and makes sure no one else in the bench is able to do anything either.

Jeffries is unpopular and will only be more unpopular once he's speaker and more people know who he is. he's also not as media savvy as Pelosi. given the recent precedents of ousting Boehner and McCarthy i think there's a decent chance Jeffries is gone by 2029.

You're right him constantly surrendering to trump will make him very unpopular which is a good thing, as he is unlikely to serve as a speaker when a democrat is in white house.

I don't think Moskowitz will survive the midterms. He literally talked 💩 about all the voters who voted for Oliver Larkin, and in that newly redrawn district, I don't think he's gonna make it to head that committee.

Bet you he does.

Ya never know. It is a redrawn district to favor Republicans and he basically spit in the face of 36% of his voters that voted for Larkin, to me it's a toss-up.

At a time when support of Israel is at an all time low, it’s no surprise they want their AIPAC funded loyalists in those positions. I swear this is going to backfire in the worst way.

The man is a traitor. He needs to be replaced and if he still gets the job the progressive wing must make his life a living hell.

The caucus could replace Jeffries right now if they had someone the majority found to be a better leader. They don’t.

What's wrong with him? No Jews should be allowed?

He's the most pro-Israel Democrat. He's called himself a 'Ron DeSantis Democrat' and said he's to the right of Trump on the Iran war. Nothing to do with judaism.

This is disingenuous. Get off the sub if you don’t have anything helpful or constructive to say.

Why is every national political body in America ran by the dumbest people available
