Here’s the full question (since Lemmy has title character limits): “With all the stuff going on with this administration and the Supreme Court, is it gonna take a revolution to stop this damn administration and the SCOTUS from curtailing people’s freedoms and liberties at this point because we’re way past the point of reform?”
Oh and how do you fight doomerism these days?
Without that guy, I don’t think there’s anyone. I read that both AOC and Mamdani wanted the guy to back off. Apparently Jeffries is helpful in running interference between progressives and the establishment Dems, which was news to me. Also, he was mentored by Pelosi, which is fine, but I don’t have the same reverence for her that others had.
I respect the opinions of AOC and Mamdani, but I still think Jeffries is a major coward and loser. He and Schmuck just aren’t nearly as aggressive as I expect from the Minority party. Certainly MAGA wasn’t this complacent when they were out of power.
I wish someone was primarying him, campaigning for your life tends to motivate politicians to do better work.
There is one, actually - Vance. Bostic. https://www.vancebforny8.com/
Nice to see! I’d vote for him, but I’m in AOC’s district.
If you were to run for Representative, what would you do?
My primary promise would be to push Democratic leadership to harshly punish MAGA for their crimes. Once that was done, then I would push for Wealth Reform, Health Care, Free College, Student Loan Forgiveness, Day Care, Social Security, etc.
