    Instead, Jeffries argued Democrats should focus on making healthcare more affordable by reversing Republican-enacted Medicaid cuts and extending Affordable Care Act tax credits that he said have helped millions of Americans manage insurance costs.

    So basically he’s saying that now that Republicans hamstringed our healthcare, we should change our goals and just go back to how things were??? I feel like this is the most obvious it has ever been that establishment dems are NOT on our (the people’s) side.

      TBF Jeffries cosponsored single payer bills for a decade. It’s probably a better indication of his specific decline rather than the party itself.

      Jeffries needs to win in November, though.

        You are so weird.

        You three motherfuckers sound almost the exact same, with a few different quirks. American Exceptionalists who constantly try to convince people of supporting this system and this democratic party as is.

        I just saw UnderpantsWeevil commenting in this post about the USS Lincoln (https://lemmy.world/post/50817587) pretty much implying that Gavin Newsom is going to be the next president. What the fuck? The difference between him and you and Satan is that he seems to be a little pro-China. Satan hates China. I don’t know about you, but, you all overlap hard with the American Exceptionalism, you being some of the oldest active accounts I have seen in Lemmy ever since I joined it after the Reddit API fiasco, and the insane amount of activity all of you have in this platform.

        Do you even have a job or how the fuck do you three have so many comments here? And why the hell are you always trying to sway people to be pro-America no matter what? You still want America to be the “world police,” to meddle in other countries and whatnot. You are right now telling people that this Hakeem Jeffrey POS “needs to win in November” even after all the evil shit he says and does. Someone just posted a photo of him looking at Netanyahu like a wife, that’s the kind of evil corpo bootlicker monster he is.

        Why? Why can’t you instead tell people that they deserve better than this loser?

        I get your angle about not letting any republican in power, but what the fuck is this, man? Are you feds or something??

            Probably because you publish a sheer volume of comments that rivals a coked up Stephen King’s output trying to browbeat people into not believing their eyes and ears when establishment Democratic figures are being as blatant as they can be in demonstrating they are not on the side of the people and will not be coming to help us, but fighting against us when it comes to down to it.

            It’s fucking exhausting to have every thread be full of you guys going “But see, he said he’d only break one of your arms and legs if he wins, not both of them!” as if that’s supposed to make people suddenly say, “You know what, that’s great, he’s got my vote.” when folks simply point out he’s said these things and wish that he would commit to not breaking any of our limbs if elected instead. “Ah, but harm reduction! The republicans will break both your arms and legs if they win.” Yeah, and assholes like Hakeem Jeffries will be holding you down while they do it to make sure they don’t miss while you squirm, thanks a lot.

                Wow, you lack the attention span to read two small paragraphs, so that means anyone functionally literate is must be going and dipping into that AI well, too? Projection skills like that could probably land you a fine job at Imax, buddy.

        He’s going to lose and people like you will blame the voters, but it’ll be his own fault.

          I would have liked for his opponents to run a proper primary against him and win, but now that he’s going to the general I support him 100% and I say any abstainers are morons for allowing the mere possibility of a GOP congressman.
