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.

    maga has candidates that they’re excited to vote for.

    democrats do not.

    Second worst is not good enough to win. Appealing to the voters is not beneath you.

        I voted for harris.

        Second worst still wasn’t good enough to win. Appealing to the voters is still not beneath you.

        For all their “yOu DoNt KnOw HoW gOvErNmEnT wOrKs” gaslighting, the genocide wing is determined to never learn how voters work.

          Excet you can’t really magically appeal to all progressives/leftists/liberals/center people.

          Some single issue Trans rights.

          Some single issue Palestine.

          Some single issue dumping ICE

          Etc etc.

          The only thing that MAGA has to single issue is hate. With a dash of “abortion bad”.

      Yes. The Democrats fucking suck.

      You know who fucking sucks 1000x more.

      The fucking Nazis running the GOP.

      Its like the Turkey election. Everyone was all "yay they got rid of the dictstor asshole. Except by all accounts, the new guy is not a whole lot better or different. But he is BETTER. And everyone has been praising the shit out of that.

        It’s like clockwork. Say something a centrist doesn’t want to hear, and they assume you want a lecture.

        I’m very tired of having to repeat to you centrist-splainers that I voted for harris.

        Yes, republicans are worse. But being second worse by as narrow a margin as you think you can get away with is not enough to win. You have seen that happen before your eyes. You have seen the consequences. And you still think you can berate and scold and lecture your way out of this, to people who knew you were going to lose all along, voted for the genocidal shit you wanted anyway, and get blamed for the loss they tried to warn you about.

        You need voters to win. And no matter how much the prospect disgusts you, They won’t vote for second worst in sufficient numbers for you to win. It’s so unfair that you have to give the voters more than capitulation and genocide.
