If tomorrow, Jeffries were exposed as receiving a dime from a pro Russian PAC or secretly meeting with a Russian operative, you fucking hypocrites would immediately shutdown the entire process until you identified someone to abruptly replace him. The problem is, most of you whores worship Israel, to your own detriment.
Consider this...
1) The people will not forget that Jeffries refused to step aside in two years when every member of the House is up for reelection.
2) Any policies that have a meaningful impact on the majority of Americans will not be felt by them before the next election cycle.
3) Republicans will slow walk / frustrate your efforts, let you do the work, and then propose policies the people support during the 2028 cycle.
... and voters will remember we trusted the party to make big changes (including leadership), not feel those big changes at the kitchen table, and remember the entrenched leaders who were not bold enough and refused to step aside even after the public called for it.
You've given your challenger(s) in 2028 ammunition during reelection and you haven't even started.
Hi Brad, thank you for sharing your POV on this, which is more than we are receiving from other progressives in the House. My husband and I attended your fundraiser in downtown LA, where I thanked you for agreeing to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act, but then pushed you to reject Zionism in n totality. I understand that for a newcomer in Congress to challenge an incumbent speaker risks punishment, and that is one of the core problems here. That being said, Jeffries' support for US-Israel genocide is a red line for me, and many others, and we see him as genocide-adjacent--an enemy of the Palestinians and all people oppressed under our murderous foreign policy and beholden to AIPAC and Palantir. Scratching my head, I can only wonder if the CPC has applied any pressure at all on Jeffries to reject AIPAC $$$, its handlers and its forever policies of ethnic cleansing and supremacism. It feels like they have not, which means the ICE-Israel axis will continue, unabated, to bring the Palestinian laboratory/surveillance state home to us. 😢
@bradlander Hakeem Jeffries' most recent vote to send weapons to the genocidal apartheid regime of Israel was 4 months ago.
What are you smoking, Brad?
@Jeanc6584@BernieSanders The Party is already divided. Voters want real change not the status quo. If the Democratic Party represents real democracy, it will listen to the voters.
@BernieSanders@BernieSanders' right.
I've studied Climate enuf to know we now threaten our food, lands & water. Billionaires may picture living on islands they buy or in outer space, controlling our skies, even geo-engineering but money is not SCIENCE any more than it is free SPEECH.
@UNFCCC
@BernieSanders Do we stand and fight for human rights abroad and international law? Do we end Israel’s apartheid regime and its genocide? Hell Yes to both.
