House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

    Hell nah, I’m not doing this tonight.

    Perfection is the enemy of progress or something.

      If you think electing a genocidal democrat is progress, as far as I’m concerned, you are as much an enemy of mine as a MAGA supporter is.

      I am not asking for perfection. The bar is literally underground. We are talking about fucking genocide, here, not microaggressions.

      This shit is literally how Trump got into power. You need to blame the Democrats for this. It was an entirely unforced defeat, all because Biden/Harris needed to dickride Israel directly into hell.

      Fuck. That.

          The thing is, in their hearts, they know what the problem is. They need to give ground to the left. They’re just throwing a tantrum and refusing to accept it because in the past they’ve been able to win with a coalition of centrists, moderates and liberals. Those days are now gone, and this coalition, which has been looking down and sneering at the left for decades, really doesn’t want to have to capitulate to our demands. But if they don’t, they’ll just cause republican fascists to come to power. For many right wing democrats, fascism is preferable to socialism.

          There is a very good reason the DNC hasn’t released the election post-mortem report, because it probably confirms something close to what I just described - though, probably watered down slightly. The leaks we do have confirm that the Democrats lost votes because of their pro-Genocidal stance.

            And they won’t ever put their hands up and admit their approach is what caused defeat because they would require some self awareness, self analysis and then admitting that the ‘left’ not holding their noses and voting for their piss soaked candidate wasn’t the cause of the defeat.

            I’m not in the US but only recently learnt that since ww2, no democrat has been elected with a majority of white voters. Carter came closest with 48%. Running a candidate who supported cop cities with her entire chest isn’t going to endear your core voter base.
