In a video posted to social media Tuesday (November 10), Leonard described a meeting with senior House Democrats who allegedly warned him that his decision to support Jeffries should not depend on whether the Democratic leader agrees to address issues important to his constituents.

    This shouldn’t surprise anyone. The Trump-Epstein class has all the money in the world to buy politicians. They knew this job would be hard and that most of that flack would come from other Democrats. The reason they were elected is because the people want them to fight back against the standard Washington bullshit!

      Exactly. All new reps need to band together and say fuck you to the establishment. It’s what everyone has wanted for decades at this point.

    It doesn’t matter how many DSA activists you elect. It doesn’t even really matter how many of them meant it and how many just saw the DSA as an easy career boost. Because the party is controlled by the Clintons and their Third Way Foundation. No one will ever get one tiny iota of actual power in the party without proving to all the Neoliberal ghouls that they’re willing to join in on the ghoulishness.

    The corporate Democrats vs people who want a better life. This is why people say the parties are the same. Corporate Democrats are Republicans. We have no left in the US we have right of center and far right. We just have to keep at it.

    I read something about Jeffries meeting an Ellison privately, so that guy needs to be gone fast.

      He met with Kushner in the shadows too, plus he belongs to the same insane secret society as Thiel and other assholes. Jeffires is the blue face of the enemy.

      This is my take. This Representative can go out and say whatever he wants. If this actually happened, say specifically what they said and who said it to you

    every one of them needs to go or theyll just put their friends back in power. getting rid of them while playing by their rules will be like pulling teeth with scissors. when will we realize its less work less risk and less harm to us to just kill them all?
