    You know, of all the jobs that AI is taking, “Journalists” has to be the easiest. Because even when it isn’t AI, it just isn’t a hard formula to copy.

    If this truly is the Progressive Tea Party’s time, these blue dog dems are done for. And good fucking riddance.

  3. One candidate in one primary in California in a solidly blue district doesn’t really constitute a revolt. And then they don’t report any numbers. Just the numbers from last fall which had a whopping 22% of candidates unhappy with him. Supposedly the numbers are ‘worse’ but who knows because that’s behind a paywall.

    Yeah that’s what happens when you give a pedophile a pass on an illegal unauthorized war. Leadership? What’s that?

  5. >Democrats are increasingly confident that if President Donald Trump allows an election, they will win the House of Representatives come November. But even a blue wave doesn’t mean Hakeem Jeffries would receive a natural promotion to House speaker…his stature has fallen greatly since, largely due to his persistent support of Israel despite the country’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, his acceptance of money from foreign lobbying groups, and for mounting what some Democrats have seen as weak and ineffective resistance to the Trump administration. Now, Axios reports, he faces increased opposition to his leadership from within his own party.

    Good.

    Good. Dude is as useless as Schumer. Get these nutless fucks out. Republicans have shown they are not afraid to fight dirty. I’m not saying do illegal shit like them, but the democratic leaders need to have the conviction to do what needs done. Not fall to pieces when something becomes inconvenient.

    Weird start to the article. “If Trump allows elections.” We will have elections. We have always had election even during wartime. Elections are run by the states and Trump can try some shenanigans, but it will be struck down everytime.

    If they are not ready to make the changes needed to meet the times, they need to step aside or be forced aside.

  9. No they didn’t; but, they should. He is still the leader of the democrats in the House. They can make change whenever they want.

    Oh, GOP polling must be in the shits, better post a headline about minority leadership.

  11. If they just replaced him and Schumer with competent people I think people would think much more positively about the party

  12. I love the beginning of the article /s

    Democrats are increasingly confident that if President Donald Trump allows an election, they will win the House of Representatives come November.

    This timeline is a complete embarrassment.

  13. What kind of revolt is there going to be, if only 25 Democrats out of 113 that were polled, was against Jeffries?

    Don’t be fooled by the BS. When it comes to taking AIPAC money and supporting Israel, there is little difference between Republicans and Democrats.

    Jeffries is a polished centrist selected by the old establishment

    And exactly why he should be replaced as house minority, or speaker in the future

  15. Hakeem is weak and ineffective. Taking Israel’s dirty money should be a non-starter.

    wtf is this language “if president Trump allows an election” ?? HE CANNOT STOP IT. So fn sick of the normalization and sane-washing.

  17. “Democrats are increasingly confident that if President Donald Trump allows an election, they will win the House of Representatives come November.” What an absolutely insane sentence.

    Hakeem and Schumer need to fuck right off. Along with any dem that voted with Republicans on any fucked up bills.
