House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) has said that he now opposes Medicare for All, flipping on his previous stance just as Democrats are on the cusp of potentially winning back control of the House.

Shit, I have brain damage but I wouldn’t go around taking away peoples healthcare. Fetterman is just a giant turd who probably never had a spine and got by on his size.
Frontal lobe brain damage just gave him the mental excuse to stop acting like a compassionate human being. He’s throwing himself the biggest pitty parties now, so you know why it was so easy to swing him over by agreeing he’s the victim.

The first thing the Dems should do in both chambers is dump Schmuck & Jeffries. These losers are 50% of the reason MAGA regained power. They squandered their first shot at crushing MAGA, they have done nothing to show they deserve a second chance, and this is a perfect example right here.
We are destined to oscillate between extremes every 4 years, in an endless political glitch, until we decisively crush MAGA, and purge it from our government and society.

Party leaders of the house and senate can be called to be reselected at any time with a relatively small number of supporters for a vote to be held. its an internal vote amongst the Dem party members of that body. But they never call for that vote. So its not just Schumer and Jeffries, its most of the reps in congress.

Looks like it's time to reform the Democrat party.
Way more likely than a fictitious 3rd party magically becoming viable anytime in the near future.

People don’t wield power; power wields people.
