Enclave 09/27/25 1:28:13 PM #53:	Unknown5uspect posted... Because of the numbers. If the Dems want anything they want passed it literally has to be bipartisan. They're the minority. They need Republican votes. Jfc people. They're not passing anything with or without Republican help right now, I figured this should be fucking obvious. This is about what they're projecting to potential voters. If they want to get their polling numbers out of the toilet they need to project strength, they need to be full of fire and righteous anger. It's about getting people riled up. There's a handful of Dems who are doing a good job of this and Jefferies is absolutely not one of them which is a real shame because he's the leader in the house and thus one of the most public facing Dems. It's fucking political malpractice that we have Jefferies as the leader in the house and Schumer in the senate. --- The commercial says that Church isn't for perfect people, I guess that's why I'm an atheist. <cite>Enclave posted [p:986551051] in Hakeem Jef...

LightSnake 09/27/25 1:38:29 PM #54:	Enclave posted... I can't think of a single Dem who is talking about Defund the Police, also the big problem there was Dems let Republicans totally control the narrative. The idea behind Defund the Police is sound, ease the burden on the police by having social workers deal with non-violet mental health calls. Take the funding saved from doing that and put it into those social workers. When you explain it to people most agree that it's a good idea but it felt like the only people bothering to explain it to anybody was people online. The dems need to do better at getting in front of things and trying to control the narrative, Republicans are fucking masters at it, the Dems are so far behind in this. No, no, no, and again no. We're done with this. Some Dems did say it in 2020. It hurt the entire party. It's still hurting them. Polls show it's horribly unpopular, and people still think the Dems want to do it. "They need to CONTROL THE NARRATIVE!" Yeah, sometimes you can't make people love unpopular shit and DtP is one such example. Just say "fund mental health services" and do that. I'm so tired of the idea that only Dems have agency. I do admit that the slogan itself lends itself to being easy for Republicans to control the narrative. Yes, and it's a bad one. We do actually need to stop the "soft on crime" stuff. It's hurt the party enormously and the GOP is making gains in Blue cities now. It is but how often is he doing stuff like that? It gets lost in all the times he goes on about bipartisanship and working with Republicans. His style of politics just lacks fire. I wouldn't have a problem with him if he wasn't the leader in congress but he's just not cut out for that role in 2025. How many bills have there been to do it? I missed this bit, when did he start writing for them? Since 2022. He also works for prestigious publications. He's not just a rando --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen <cite>LightSnake posted [p:986551142] in Hakeem Jef...

There's basically no real bills to do anything at all with on the floor because Republicans just ram everything through via executive order regardless of if it's something that can be an executive order or not. Thing is Jefferies keeps getting in front of cameras, he needs to bring the fight to the cameras. Nancy Pelosi was good at this, Newsom is good at this, AOC is good at this, you also mentioned others that are good at this.

The people who constantly complain that people call them out for their anti-dem bias are the same ones who never show up in topics about things Trump and republicans are doing. They can complain all they want about being called out. They've done nothing to show they care about what is currently happening. This. Complaining about Democrats more than Republicans, and spreading the great word with topics attacking them more than Republicans is what these people are called out for. Its always every excuse under the sun why its not worth attacking Republicans more. But then again, they know that. The same reason they dont like being called "Champions of Gaza." Like if criticism wasnt coming from the same usuals who tend to always attack Democrats more than Republicans, this would be a different discussion.

Thanatos_the_Great 09/27/25 6:20:50 PM #66:	LightSnake posted... Again, it's still hurting the party. Yes, coming out against it is the only way to blunt that. You're wrong about this. Coming out against it won't achieve anything, because they were never for it in the first place. You may reply that it's still hurting them because they're wrongly perceived as having embraced "defund the police" even though they never did (because of Republican propaganda). But if that's true, then coming out against it is not the answer - the answer is not to bring it up at all, and not to rise to it if someone else brings it up. If the Democrats are harmed by a perceived association with "defund the police" then by condemning it, by keeping it in the conversation at all, they're doing the first half of the Republicans' work for them.

Attacking Democrats more than Republicans. If we were talking about a user that didnt have a long documented history of attacking Democrats more than Republicans, and having a laundry list of excuses why its not worth attacking Republicans more.... his post would actually have any truth to it. As theres plenty good reasons to be critical of Democrats. But its not. Its always the same users who claimed to care about Gaza before the election, but constantly messaged on "Dems just as bad or worse than Republicans." Having every excuse imaginable then and still now, why they are more critical of Democrats than Republicans. Including reasons to protest Republicans less. The same usuals also tend to have an overlap in supporting not voting, going 3rd party during elections, or hiding behing the begrudge message to vote Democrat but "here's a list of reasons why I think the candidate is almost as bad as the GOP candidate." Even when blame should be all or majority about Republicans using simple math of how the US government works, its the same usuals spinning to blame "both sides" or focusing on Democrats more if they can find a couple who voted with Republicans. <cite>asdf8562 posted [p:986560070] in Hakeem Jef...

Some here go after Democrats way too much even for things outside of their control, but others get way too defensive of Democrats to the point of blowing off legitimate criticisms and concerns and get too accusation happy about people being "champions of Gaza" or wanting Trump to win.
