What a great leader. We all know the best leaders aren't able to commit to things.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is this what the people of Brooklyn want?
What a fucking disappointment and tool. No doubt his tool district voted to re-elect him.
Shouldn’t this be 1’s?
Different systems have different methods of doing surprise, but the implication here is you roll to see if you are surprised, and success means you are not surprised.
How about we commit to blocking Hakim Jeffries? Primary that fucking bitch. LFG.
Him and Schumer must have dinner with McConnell every night because holy shit these two fucks are doing everything they can to screw over Democrats the same way McConnell has for over a decade.
It doesn't matter who they have dinner with when they answer to their handlers at AIPAC. Israel wants this war so they will make a few noises to pretend to be opposition but do everything tangible to support it.
That’s what shits me about Jeffries and Schumer, the others are compromised, these blokes are in it for the money.
How did Jeffries go from being a rising star for the Democratic party to best buds with Schumer, McConnell and Fetterman?
I don't really remember him ever being a rising star. He was in tight with Pelosi and able to pull a bunch of big money, but he was never the go to guy to present the Democratic case on an issue. No one ever talked about how that guy could be president some day.
This. He was groomed to be a party insider by the most insider of party insiders.
Neoliberals and old school Republicans have always been friendly because they've always had the same goals...
Like, you're right, but after we had to spend 4 years watching Biden do the same things and explicitly say he wished we could just go back to it any chance he got, it's kind of like saying the sky is blue
Even the DNC realized it a year ago. And they don't exactly keep their finger on the pulse.
Jefferies and Schumer are lame ducks and have been since this congress started.
We'll capture majorities in the midterms and the next congress Dems will be free to vote for the leadership they want, which should match what dem voters want.
At least closer than Biden/Schumer/Jeffries was
Because there isn't a justification, Hakeem, you dimwitted fucking moron.
Democrats like this guy are literally less than useless. With friends like these who needs enemies.
So AIPAC gave him his marching orders?
Hakeem Jeffries won't commit to risking his AIPAC money.
What about Epstein?
Useless.
I won't commit to not spitting in this ghoul's face, should the opportunity arise.
When we talk about parasites of society, that leeches on the money of the state while offering nothing of value, this is it.
Alternative headline:
Invertebrate Continues To Lack Spine
Of course he won't be cause besides some procedural issues and some disagreements about goals and framing this war is decades in the making and bipartisan.
Why would he stop it. Dems and gop have been hoping for this for decades and this makes the GOP the bad guys
TRAITOR
Of course he won’t because his Israel checks won’t come in the mail anymore.
