Rep.-elect Don Leonard of Ohio said Tuesday that “senior members of the Democratic House” have threatened to make his life “a living hell” unless he backs, without conditions, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) to be the next Speaker of the House.
Dear NYC DSA, it’s time to primary Jeffries.
At present, the only person who could possibly pull that off is Mamdani, if he wants it.
Which, if we got Mamdani ousting Jeffries and AOC ousting Schumer in 2028, that would be massive.
Depends which tree Mamdani wants to scale from here — Federal, or State (his journey ending with Governor and no further). Alternatively, he could choose to eye Gilibrand’s Senate seat. Nice bit of redemption for how she snubbed him too.
All the more reason to not support Jeffries.
Lean over and whisper in their ear, “the people are coming. Fuck you.”
Then bite off the lobe.
Congress needs an enema. And an expansion. And the abolishment of the senate. And proportional representation with STAR (or similar) voting. One step at a time, I suppose. Do the good thing, Congressman; fuck what the others think.
He should expose them ao people do not vote for them next time
They’re gonna make it very very obvious who they are in the next 2-4 years.
AIPAC is already making it obvious.
100% this
It is a good sign that a newcomer is broadcasting how the sausage is made rather than falling into line. I hope all these newly elected dems support each other and hold the line against the establishment.
I would invite them all to a meeting to discuss that topic and ask them to repeat any threats in person, and then I would laugh loudly in their faces like maniac
Invite them all to the Red Wedding.
Let the seven sort them out.
