and yet, he'll throw the tent flaps wide open for mtg

They already dont. This is the fight they all beg to have daily.

The dem leaders are fascist enablers. They need to go.

Get this tool out of Democratic leadership and do it now.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social doesn’t have the slightest clue as to what “hard working Americans” most of them don’t. They don’t knock on doors and talk to us, they don’t have town halls when we hard working Americans can attend - unless they want our money- they are out of touch.

I went looking. As of July 21 of this year, only 24% of Republicans “somewhat or strongly support” abolishing ICE compared to 73% of Republicans and that number is lower among MAGA voters. He’s not reverse-psychologing them. He’s just regurgitating GOP talking points.

I saw some poll results this morning that 54% of Republicans polled want to get rid of it. Mind you it might be a product of how the question was asked, or it might be that they think ICE is making their party look bad, but still.

Time for Jeffries to step aside.

Things are going great; moderates winning, progressives winning, dem socialists winning, and all unifying after primary. Cruise control to majority in November, easy. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT???? Like, fuck off Jeffries. This is a garbage of an answer.

I don't think Jeffries belongs in the Democratic Party.

For now he’s irrelevant. He will get replaced before 2028. But he is likely to become House Speaker in 2027. So his current job is to do no wrong.

Do Vichy Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries belong in the Den Party?

Gotcha question, so let's all spend the next few hours

Walker parties with Steven Miller and then dares to ask Democrats these types of questions. 🙄

This guy is so embarrassing.

"I want to make it very clear that my first and only priority is our corporate donors"

It won't matter if the Democrats win every seat if they are saddled with the "leadership" of Jeffries and Schumer.

JEFFRIES: Grab your guns and get in a circle.

We The People have Spoken, the collective, and we do not want Jeffries representing us. We want @aoc.bsky.social to represent us. #2027 AOC Speaker of the House She will deliver us from the evil within. Abolish Ice. Impeach Trump.

The great thing about these corporate Democrats is you don't have to vote for them

Interesting. First I've heard it. Not sure I agree with a unicameral legislature

This dude is a cancer in the party.

He’s got to go!

Agree! Those countries tax the wealthy and that’s why they come here.

He needs to go

“This group” has been around for decades but it’s not what it was. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Yes it does.

I’m not going to watch a Fox News clip - sorry - especially with Laura Ingraham.

He is blue MAGA

Garbage. Pathetic. Weak. Cowardly.

It will be a mixed caucus of "moderates," progressives, and socialists. That would be an OK big tent if it's simply ideology that causes the disagreements. But what needs to be addressed regarding the "moderates" is how many of them are, like Republicans, bought and sold shills for big corporations.

DSA has no credibility whatsoever.

The senate is the greatest obstacle to a multi party system, where every American can vote who they want. So yes, the abolishment of, or reform of the senate is necessary

What I can say is I do not support Jeffries for any leadership position.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a clown who walks right into the talking points. Can’t bring this part together to save his life.

If we are more alike than we are different, FOCUS ON THAT!!! Do NOT pull the shit you did with Mamdani in this election. You are NOT acting like a leader, whoever does, LEADS US ALL!

Show me you're a bot or fool in the comments who can't politics and needs to get blocked without saying "I'm a bot or fool in the comments who can't politics"

I see no infighting in the comments here. Seems pretty universal no one approves of Jeffries. So if there is any infighting you can put the blame on the “Establishment” siding with their big money donors over what base of the party is becoming.

The "infighting" in this comment section is anger that Jeffries is too concerned with carving away parts of our own base and not concerned enough with attacking MAGA.

Welker is worse than worthless

Democratic Party leaders are trying to build a big tent by moving right, again. The party doesn't want you, just your vote

oh ffs.

Dude gotta go

Stupid response

Well, at least that makes more sense.

That he couldn't get such a simple thing right is further proof that he shouldn't be leading anyone or anything. We need unity and he's obviously unable to achieve that without pissing off his rich donors.

95,000 people belong to the DSA I wish the progressive Dems would have rebranded as “New Deal Democrats”—which AES invoked—instead of giving the right wing media everything they could have dreamed of

Right. That’s why we have the House of Representatives Take it up with the writers of the constitution

For a Speaker who hails from the city that elected Mamdani, in an election cycle that has to be “vote blue no matter who” if we are to survive as a nation, this was a stunningly tone deaf response.

Hakeem sucks. The correct answer was an emphatic “yes”, even if he does have some policy disagreements. He’s got to go 👎

This stupid ass mutherfucker knows damn well the DSA candidates do not promote any of the absolute nonsense he’s espousing!! He’s getting to be as bad as trump when talking about DSA candidates!! 🖕🏻Jeffries

Incorrect. It means you don’t want to push back on bad faith framing and deliver results for working people. Go vote for Fetterman or something. That’s what you are advocating for.

Wonder why few noted the lameness of the question by Welker. Ask lame question, get lame answer. So called "Dem Socialists" are simply so called Dem progressives on the party's political continuum. I prefer to hear about specific policy not where a subgroup's ideology stands on that continuum.

That ain't going to happen by meeting with Jared Kushner

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social is a worthless putz.

I will never support this radical centrist nor vote for those who do.

What a disappointment this fool turned out to be.

Why can’t the democrats do what the republicans do? Ignore the question and talk about how Trump is refusing to release the Epstein files.

Regurgitating right-wing talking points verbatim. We need new leadership in the Democratic party.

I know this is a poor response politically. I do though want to give Jeffries a chance though to grow into the majority leader's job. His mentor wasn't masterful rhetorically either, but sure could get things through the house.

He just comes across as totally full of shit. He could flip and support the things he doesn’t and would still come across as a used car salesman. A very bad one at that.

Wow, way to not read the room there, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Time to go away. You've failed yet again.

Sorry, USA. You lost the battle of the people. Now you need to learn to listen TO the people.

Jeffries, like the Republicans, creates a straw man as to what democratic socialists supposedly believe and then attacks that. Nothing about what Al Sayed, or Mamdani is actually calling for.

I hate the obligatory “hard-working” in these canned answers. Not every American is working. Not every American is capable of working.

If a democratic socialist is part of the D party...are they really a demsoc? The two are mutually exclusive IME

Hey @markpocan.bsky.social and @repgwenmoore.bsky.social - FIRE THIS BUM. He can't say the simple message of "Whatever you call it, we all care about affordability, stopping Trump's corruption, etc". He instead concedes to GOP talking points like the machine hack he is. @dennycarter.bsky.social

Apparently he doesn’t support keeping his job either.

Better answer. Yes, of course they do. We share some many policy beliefs like universal healthcare and affordable childcare.

…aaaaaand there it is. Desire for power and tone deaf to what folks need.

about four blinks each second.

Jeffries belongs with the other republicans. It is time to take back the democratic party.

Shit like this is why people are rejecting @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social He sounds like Rush Limbaugh

The status quo must stand, said the owners of every corporate Democrat, like Jeffries.

I do not support a weak ass faux leader who spends more time sounding like a republican than fighting them. We need fighters, not people like Jeffries or Schumer.

Abolish ice just means change the name and reform how it's done. Changing the name is meaningless. Essentially it's the reformation of how it operates that matters. Do you think Americans want open borders?

If you want to have 4 more years with gop in charge, continue pushing open boarders and defunding police.

National Socialists are accepted in the Republican Party, apparently. So why are they so against Democratic Socialists?

Corporate lawyer gonna corporate lawyer.

Jeffries doesn’t belong in the Democratic Party.

And then he went above and beyond the call of duty confirming it.

Oh no Hakeem. Stop it and get out of the way

Good question. Let me think about it.NOpe.

Vampiric parasitic fuck. Yet another Schumer-esque coward courting destruction of the entire country to fatten his own pockets. Truly, the most yellowbellied and disgusting traitors.

Those AIPAC checks aren't going to write themselves, huh Jeffries?

Putting that AIPAC money to use I see. Not to mention your in the weird secret Peter Thiel club. Don't trust a word you say! We need real leaders your not it!

And in replying, he repeats and reinforces the most fringe policies that scare swing voters. Jesus, Dems are bad at this. Instead say "Many of their positions are the same as Democratic party positions and I support those wholeheartedly, then name them - universal health care, fair taxation, etc.

Jeffries is the leader of a big tent party. We Dems are not lock step like Reps are. So maybe shut up and do the hard work we all need to do to take back our country. If you direct your ire at Jeffries instead of Trump you are helping Trump.

The DNC keeps talking about having a big tent, but it’s mostly for people who want to push progressives out of the tent.

The Democrat "big tent" is always big enough for warmongering psychopaths, greedy elitists and ecocidal industry, yet not quite big enough for popular progressivism, like M4A.

The issue there is that he doesn't agree with the DSA on anything

except he's playing to lose but otherwise it checks out

The GOP has already lost the House. It’ll be ok puddin’.

This! And we all know that playing not to lose ends in a loss most of the time.

You have seen the DSA candidates winning left & right lately, no? The Dem Party's right wing needs to wake up to the fact that most people now want real change, not more pandering to billionaires & a minority of loud-mouthed bigots.

That’s a ridiculous answer, Hakeem.
