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.

        I disagree. If there is such a strong dem majority in the house, then fuck it, let the GOP have Jeffries’ seat. If they refuse to listen to us saying to not make him speaker this time, then let’s make him unemployed next election. He’s a greedy coward and he needs to either step to the side or fuck off for good.

          There will never, ever, under any circumstance, be an instance where a DNC is as bad as a GOP. We need the GOP to have zero seats before we can put a single Democrat on the chopping block in the generals.

            I’m sorry, I don’t think you picked up what the other guy was saying. He’s saying that “there’s no dnc now… there’s the people and there’s the door”.

            It’s time for the dnc to figure out if aipac or the people are buttering their toast.

              The people are about to get their buns forcefully buttered by a bunch of zionist scumbags if they’re actually considering letting DNC lose the generals.

        Fuck that. Expose and vilify every piece of shit you can. I had almost no faith that our elections weren’t compromised in a severe way. These results gave me hope and I’m a pessimistic piece of shit. We need to be loud. Name, shame, expose, get them the fuck out, investigated, and convicted. Sick of the “if you suck me I won’t fuck you” game. No. No more. Pedophiles out, investigated, mulched. AIPAC and all supporters the fuck out. Citizens United eliminated. That’s just to start.
