The congressman's remarks come as Democrats wrestle with ideological divisions between their progressive and moderate wings.

      Jeffries appears to have moved past his primary election unopposed, so yes indeed people should vote for him in November.

        Can he drum up sufficient support, though?

        The “idc what happens i’m sure the blues will win somehow” voting block is doing pretty well these days.

          Well right now he’s doing the opposite of drumming up support by stating his opposition to near-universally popular policies and attacking the most energized portion of the base.

          Supporting him is done by us not him, so how we speak and how we act will decide. Start by downvoting divisive posts like this.

            Why is it “divisive” to report on what Hakeem says, but it’s not “divisive” for him to say it?

                  People with the capability to make divisive statements. Might help if you take a lap back through the discussion.

            Yeah I’m sure a downvote from the comfort of your desk helps at the ballot box.

      You’ve never heard of a primary, have you?

        Ah yes, the ancient Roman custom of primaries. Magnus Magnentius winning the primary against Constans is one of the most famous primaries in history.

          El-Sayed won his primary, so you’re welcome.

          Also, El-Sayed isn’t a current DSA member.

        This is why we are we are.

        The fact that establishment Dems roll over against Republicans should tell you everything you need to know.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
