There is no reason we can’t take it out on MAGA at the ballot box, take back power, and then use that power to crush MAGA. All we need are political leaders with the courage and strength to do what we are SCREAMING at them to do.
If he is already saying that he doesn’t intend to impeach Trump, it means he probably doesn’t plan to impeach anyone else either. If he won’t commit to fight MAGA, that makes him ineligible for his job.
Jeffries’ primary is on June 23, and he is being challenged by 27 year old Chi Osse, who just filed paperwork to run against him a couple of days ago. Osse is a Democratic Socialist, a Mamdani follower, and with Mamdani killing it in NYC, and Jeffries performing as badly as if he was being paid by MAGA, he might actually have a chance. I can’t believe Jeffries constituents are that thrilled with the half-assed job he’s been doing for YEARS.
We need to spread the word far & wide, as loud as possible, that Jeffries has already said that when they regain power, he intends to squander it AGAIN, and allow MAGA to rise AGAIN! He has already proven to be weak, cowardly, and incompetent. I literally can’t think of a single substantial thing he has done to resist MAGA’s breathtaking corruption. He doesn’t deserve another chance to fail us. Primary him out, and send a shocking message to ALL weak incumbent Democrats: Get in the game, or get the fuck out.
And once he’s out, we need to investigate both Jeffries, and Schmuck. I’m not convinced those losers aren’t Manchurian MAGAs. If the word came in that Schmuck & Jeffries would sell out for a billion bucks, the money would be in a Cayman account by noon. Let’s see if they accepted, my bet is Yes.
Hakeem Jeffries challenged to 2026 primary by 27-year-old New York councilman
Fuck him up, Chi!
“There will be no justice. We will let you down.”
Great way to throw an election.
Goddamnit I can’t believe jordanlund of all people is like the only one with a correct take in this entire thread.
I literally don’t even know how many times Trump has been impeached. Three maybe? Is it three? Could be four. I think it was more than one. I don’t remember what any of the charges were, if I ever heard.
Caring about that shit is such performative lib shit. The only people who care about Trump’s “permanent record” are politically engaged liberals who were 100% going to “vote blue no matter who” anyway. Do you seriously think you could walk into like a random warehouse and ask people what crimes Trump has been impeached over and get correct answers from anyone who wasn’t already a guaranteed vote?
The way you actually reach people is by promoting things that *make a material difference in their lives," not some DC soap opera shit. You say something like, “No tax on tips,” you start cutting through the culture war barriers and media environments and catching the attention of people who normally wouldn’t give two shits about politics. But libs are so far up their own asses about “decorum” and “permanent records” and shit that even Republicans have managed to outflank them, which is an utter embarrassment.
Also, for the record, the justice system is a complete joke regardless. Bush never got impeached for all the illegal torture and spying he did. Anyone with good sense who’s paying attention should know better than to look to the law (of all things!) as some kind of moral guide. The law only matters as far as it exerts power, a purely symbolic “victory” within a fundamentally broken system could not be more meaningless.
Oh but to be clear fuck Jefferies, just like, not for this specific thing.
Trying to get impeachable grounds on JD before moving on Trump?
Is there a progressive or, you know, anyone with a pulse running against this useless lump of flesh in the primary?
GOOD NEWS!

Hakeem Jeffries challenged to 2026 primary by 27-year-old New York councilman
Fuck him up, Chi!
I am definitely going to find out how I can donate to his campaign.
That’s fine, it’s failed three times now.
But if they have the votes to remove him & don’t, that’s going to be a huge problem.
Vote Blue No Matter Who, am I right?
Yes.
I’m so glad that our Blue No Matter Who doesn’t want to punish the bad guys. Clearly the better choice by allowing trump to get away with everything. Might as well rubber stamp his 3rd term.
Wrong answer
Yep, he was already worthless, he just confirmed it. Could you imagine being in the most consequential election since the Civil War, and this “leader” just announced his intention to surrender before it’s even started, and he still expects people to vote for him?
This should be career ending.
well duh. where’s the profit in the change of rhetoric?
I’d like him gone but it would be fun for him to stick around while a lot of his bad work is dismantled.
Removing Trump requires 67 votes in the senate. There is no mathematical way to get those numbers in November. I don’t agree with him, but I understand where he is coming from.
It doesn’t matter. We need to weaponize impeachment, and impeach him EVERY time he commits another crime. Let there be hundreds, even thousands of impeachment proceedings under way, just for him. And then do the same to all of his henchmen.
It doesn’t matter that the Senate won’t convict, it still wastes MAGA time. It will still keep them tied up in court with expensive lawyers and publicists, and distract them for every second of the next two years.
MAGA is one of the only groups for which bullying is not only acceptable, but patriotic, and STRONGLY encouraged. They deserve it, so bully them relentlessly until they cry. Abuse the shit out of those psychopaths.
Anti-vaxxers, too.
I like this, we definitely should turn their spam like legal strategy of overwhelming the system against them.
This administration has also set the precedent of going after people for purely political reasons. I am not suggesting the Dems do this, but I am suggesting they do as you say and try to prosecute every single crime they can. If it grinds the government to a halt so be it. It is long past time for a recogning of the corruption and embezzlement going on.
We don’t have to go after their politics, although that’s what they’ll claim, as if they don’t do exactly that every day. All we have to do is play HARD BALL, and investigate, charge, prosecute, and issue imprison CONSECUTIVE prison sentences for their criminal violations ONLY.
We don’t have to attack them, they hang themselves. We just have to force the cowardly Dem leadership to do their jobs. During the Biden administration, all they had to do was invoke the 14th Amendment, and Trump would never have gotten near the White House again, as well as a whole lot of MAGA lawmakers, too.
Time to play Hard Ball. BATTER UP!
Now is the time for a bold declaration of what we’re not going to do!
So courageous.
There is a way in the November mid-terms. You’re just naysaying for the sake of it. But I understand where you’re coming from.
I am a realist. Living in the clouds gets us nowhere. I am not saying we won’t get enough seats to put reins on him, but he needs to majorly fuck up to push democrats to to win 20 additional seats. And we are talking fucking up in a way that makes people who have voted for a convicted rapist, pedofile criminal, liar, and overall horrible human being reconsider their vote.
Unfortunately, I don’t see it happening.But go ahead, prove me wrong. Canvas, call, influence people. Prove that I am wrong. I want you to. I want you to make me swallow my words. I would love nothing more than to be completely wrong.
Requires the dems winning nearly every race because the maximum they could get up to is 69 right now. If they win every single seat up for re-election.
The dems do have an advantage though. There are more republican seats up for re-election than democrat ones.
Not nearly every race, there are 22 R seats up for grabs and Dems currently have 45. They need every single seat. Some of those republican seats won by more than 20pts last election, also it’s not a guarantee that all dems vote for it.
Fetterman won’t.
I dunno why they keep putting a D after his name.
Dudes R through and through
Vote that fucker out.
Fuck this guy
Jefferies never was impressive to me
How to lose votes 101
For real. Im voting for candidates who are going to flip the script and show them how Trumps new precedents can be flexed back.
