House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) says New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is going to have to smooth things over with congressional Democrats after backing several progressive candidates who ousted incumbents during Tuesday’s primary elections.
Asked if Mamdani’s endorsements were making him “enemies” with Democrats in Washington, D.C., Jeffries told CNN that he and Mamdani “strongly” disagreed over his primary picks ahead of Election Day.
Now, according to Jeffries, the mayor has serious “work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.”
DNC leadership is pathetic. They have the most popular political leader in the country standing right alongside them and they can’t even support the guy, all because they lack the spine to tell their Israeli paylords to suck nut. Fucking corpo leech cowards.
They’re not cowards. They know exactly what they’re doing. Mamdani doesn’t play ball with their established process. He is a threat to their paychecks and control. Mamdani just indicated to all of them “You might be the next one to lose your job if I decide I want someone else in your district”.
They are not cowards. They are strategists prioritizing their own wants above that of the voters and human decency

Right, that’s what we said. Cowards.
Greed and selfishness aren’t a form of cowardice, as far as I’m aware? To be cowardly, there must be a thing you are afraid of, the fear of which is preventing you from doing something you want or feel that you need to do
Don’t let them off with just being scared. They’re selfish and amoral
Being brave is doing the right thing despite being scared. Being a coward is doing the wrong thing because you’re scared of doing what you know is right. Jefferies is scared of AIPAC, he’s scared of losing the money and power they lend him.
I appreciate that you picked up what I was putting down. So little room for artistry in written communication, nowadays.
congress serves the people, not their dem friends. The People
They work for us.
The only power they have is because we LET them have it.
Most of them need to be reminded. Very very much.

Mamdani don’t give a fuck
So now both Democrats and Republicans are going to use facebook’s and Instagram and content creators to highlight and spread content about how bad Mamdani is doing. Which they have ease of access now since the political left removed themselves from all digital conservations and spaces that are not 100% left.
Which spaces are you talking about that the political left has removed themselves from?
Twitter, Facebook and even reddit to a lesser extend during the 2024 exodus. APIs also had a coordinated lock down across all of them around 2024 as well.
I assert nothing online at this scale is grass roots. The internet is much more tightly controlled than I think we want to admit.
I think comments from leftist spaces like “Don’t roll with pigs” or that they’re leaving these spaces was a coordinated astro turf to clean them up to prepare for next election cycle.
Jeffries is fucking garbage.
The absolute best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party would be for Mamdani to become the Boogeyman, the new Pelosi or Hillary Clinton.
He needs to be the one person that Fox News slanders daily, who every Republican child grows up learning to reflexively identify as the Liberal Villain.
Whe? Because he’s a man and having a man as that target instead of a woman (AOC etc) should be worth 3-4 points in every election. We use their sexism against them, and we use his religion to honey-pot these fascist halfwits into making Mamdani the public face of the party.
So yeah, this fight with Jeffries? HUGE WIN for Mamdani. He probably gained more power today than he gained when he took office.
I don’t want a new pelosi or hillary or kamala. Those 3 are the same people. Give me AOC, Michelle Obama, Crockett…
That’s because you’ve missed my point entirely.
The point is that there is always someone who the right treats as the EVIL LIBERAL STEPQUEEN. Regardless of her politics, that’s what they do.
Having a man in that role lessens the effect, so it’d be good if we do that.
This has nothing to do with anyone’s left-liberal-moderate politics and everything to do with the vast, right-wing propaganda machine that we have to work around.
In case anyone is having trouble deciphering BillCheddar-speak. He thinks we should continue catering to the sexist and bigot vote because he’s a moderate who doesn’t want to see progressives and leftists get elected.
Christ, you’re an idiot in every single channel here.
