In flailing to impeach Hegseth, which they had the votes to do, the Democratic Party has just proven, once again, that they aren’t with shit and revolution is the only answer.

🚨 EXPOSED: 11 Democrats “mysteriously” failed to show up to work today, allowing Republicans to pass a motion to block Pete Hegseth’s impeachment from moving forward.
It’s almost like they’re all on the same team… 🤨
AOC admits that Republicans were able to oust their speaker in 2023 bc of the small margins in the house. When there were similarly small margins in 2021, major left media outlets & Jayapal claimed the plan was impossible bc:
1) you’d end up with a Republican speaker (which is impossible unless Dems voted Republican)
2) you needed someone to run against Pelosi. (False, if you don’t get 118 votes you’re not speaker even if hold outs don’t coalesce behind an alternative).
AOC claimed it would be a bad idea to force the vote bc she wanted to reserve her political capital to win a $15 min wage. Min wage is still 7.25.
Progressives have leverage and choose to bend the knee. And they can always find access journalists on the left to run cover for them.
I was worried about keeping up with my $1000 a month insurance premium, but since a congress member who has healthcare (and makes more than me) might lose their job, I guess I'll just struggle. After all, whom among us would be willing to lose their job for their principles?
Again, you don't need an "alternative." You can write in "Janet Jackson" and if Jeffries doesn't get 118 votes, he's not speaker.
Republicans did this to McCarthy in 2023 over 15 rounds of voting.
I'll say that I think Mamdani and AOC have made a major miscalculation in forging whatever deal they did with Jeffries last year and are missing a major opportunity to jump in front of the clear populist rage against the democratic party centrist Zionist leadership.
Respectfully, I don’t think you should fall for this trap. They don’t need *ANY* alternative to run. They just need to withhold their votes for Jeffries. Once you start drafting people to run, the establishment will just make them say “I don’t want it,” and then we’re back to square one.
