Blue no matter who (crazypeople.online)

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.

They probably won't do shit about cost of living either. The only time it's gone down in the past 20 years was in 2009 after the housing market crashed. That likely had more to do with the recession; and if anything the Democrats' actions were a hindrance to that reduction.

    You americans are going to have a rough time now that you have burnt all your soft power and goodwill. Sure you have other problems too, but I don't think any political party can just "turn the 'cost of living' knob up".

    I think it’s fine to expect your party to be capable of doing things that aren’t accomplished by turning a single imaginary knob. Imagine applying this to any other situation: “sorry, there’s no ‘do the dishes’ switch so I’m gonna have to tell you to lower your expectations.”

    During the primaries we can and should try to make our voice heard to get the most perfect candidates possible on the ballot. During election we do what we must to prevent sliding further into authoritarianism.

    Meme aside, I'm absolutely voting blue no matter who because

    1. Literal fascists are in control of our federal government.

    2. There is no viable 3rd party. No 3rd party is seriously trying to be viable. And American citizens aren't taking 3rd parties seriously by voting for them in local/state elections. So there is absolutely no chance of a 3rd party accomplishing anything in the near or even remote future.

    I'm not sure if anyone remembers, but none of this crazy shit was happening before January 2025. I'm voting to go back in that direction.

    To be clear, I'm totally onboard with reforming the Democrat party by primarying out the bad actors. That's way, way more likely than making a 3rd party viable in the short amount of time we have left before we aren't a democracy anymore.

    farts loudly

    “Yeah I farted on purpose and yeah it stinks. I don’t care if you don’t like it, and I’m not listening to your complaints.”

    “EDIT: Seriously, I don’t care. Just came back to make that clear. The part about me not caring. You better not think I care.”

    Vote establishment out, they carry considerable blame for our current predicament. "Proud Zionist" Biden literally said last election "nothing will fundamentally change from Trump", that's who they are.

    You can really see it ramp up in real time. The pro-china, pro-russia shit, the "both sides" shit, the "Dems don't do anything" shit. It's all bad actors making false equivalency arguments. Motherfuckers act like trump take 3 is gonna be better. Fuck off. Vote blue. Period. Call me out if you want, but if you vote red, if you vote third party, you are part of the problem. The system isn't set up for a third party, so if you do that, you only help the party that wouldn't have gotten your vote otherwise. Wish it wasn't that way, but it is, so you gotta go what you gotta do and vote blue, no matter how much you want to be a tankie slut.

    Jeffries, I hate it break it to you but if you think you're going to pass anything while The Orange Menace is in the White House, I'd love to sell you my share of the Brooklyn Bridge.

    You might as well keep trying to impeach Trump. In fact, we'd think you have balls if after each defeat in the Senate, you drum up another impeachment vote.

    And I'd like to remind you that Republicans passed the repeal of Obamacare repeatedly in the last two years of Obama's presidency.

    Sure, but first we need to drive Jeffries and Schumer out of the House/Senate.
