Is that the list of things To-Do Nothing about?

Jeffries can shove his tax credits up his ass.

Jeffries is such garbage, I wish someone would primary his ass already.

Adopting right wing framing on M4A is so typical of an empty suit like him. Yes, abolish private insurance, that’s the idea dipshit - and replace it with the objectively better Medicare insurance to make doctor’s lives easier and help patients get desperately needed care.

Dems will pass improvements to aca if enough majority to do it, but will get repealed when voters go back to maga. Need at least 8 years of Dem prez and enough majority to pass shit, that's not blocked by courts, so people see they like it better than before and want to keep it. Healthcare for all costs less and healthier people, don't lose with layoffs, but still not enough people care, or believe the propaganda against it. They have insurance they think is good, but it's not if they understood the whole story, and what about others that don't have the right job with "good insurance" and much easier to have universal healthcare and cut insurance out. Many industries and companies fade away and it's time for the health insurance scam to fade.

Jeffries needs to go.

Someone who will restore accountability to the criminals is what’s needed. Jeffries will waste time on Medicare for all at exactly the wrong time.

We need a shark in the speaker slot.

WASHINGTON — Vying to become House speaker in a few months, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries outlined four items on the agenda that he said would enjoy “uniform Democratic support” and advance the party’s goal of “making life more affordable.”

This is why people are frustrated with politicians and Jeffries in particular. No, we don't want the goal to be to make life "more affordable." We're well past "more affordable." Saving $5 on a $15,000 hospital bill is "more affordable." No, we want life to be "affordable." That's single-payer system. Maybe "more affordable" is the temporary compromise until we finish a clearly defined path to "affordable." But it's not a goal.

The mere fact that he's out here talking about extending tax credits and using weasel words is utterly demoralizing also because it suggests this is the starting position which he's going to negotiate down from later.

He can't lead on policy, he's certainly not following the voters' stated wishes, so it would be great if he could kindly get out of the way.

Democrats are so awful at setting objectives. I feel like they're only committing to this because it's DOA. Priority 1 in the event of a 2026 victory is shutting down the president and reining in presidential power. When that is done, purge government institutions of magats. Investigate and prosecute right wingers, especially the billionaires who sabotaged the United States and the president's enablers in Congress and the supreme court.

Get your house back in order.

"this is our top priority"

"so what exactly are you going to do about it?"

"we don't know"

Who'da thunk that making fundraising the sole criteria for leader selection would result in out-of-touch leadership?

Jeffries is a politician from a former age of politics. We need warriors today, not weasels.

Our plan revolves around preserving a private insurance system that profits from something that should be a basic human right. Why, you ask?

while a small democrat majority may exist in the next session, it won't be any thing even remotely close to veto-proof. no meaningful legislation would level-up to law as long as dipshit is around.

if they did have the numbers to override a veto--they'd have the numbers to do a hell of a lot more.
