House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

    Being consistently anti-genocide makes me a genocide apologist?

    You aren’t though. You spent almost 2 years defending the administrations support for the genocide in Gaza, apologizing for it, and blaming voters for not wanting to support genocide while you were OK with it to protect your privileged status.

      And he literally just yesterday said that he’s pro-isreal and other gross things

      But he’s somehow anti-genocide, when he considers genocide a matter of opinion!

      Piece of fucking filth he is.

      I linked multiple examples showing how I am and was consistently against genocides though.

      You literally just admitted that the only ones you’re against are the ones you have to pay for as a taxpayer.

          That’s why I didn’t want provide a source I knew you would move the goalposts right after and it would never be good enough and you’d always be asking for a better source.

          It’s called sea lioning.

            I didn’t move the goal posts. You literally just have to read the fucking thread. Like, try. Go read the thread. We’re talking very specifically about one genocide, one time period, one race, and one specific act of advocacy you need to demonstrate to make any kind of an argument you aren’t just a straight up fascist. Like just read the thread, top to bottom. Its right fucking there.

            But honestly, and you know this and I know this, it doesn’t fucking matter. You’ve lost. And you know you lost. 2 years ago I was getting ratio’d to oblivion for expressing the same points I’m making here. You were fine with genocide when it was Harris and Biden doing it, and your ABWD sentiment ruled the party in '23 and '24. But the times have changed. People understand and bear witness to the hollowness your politics have lead to. The utter removedolding towards fascism you represent.

            You handed the country to fascism with your support of the pro-genocide candidate, instead of making the demand that the candidate change their position. This was the citation requested, any time, between '23 and '24.

              Reading things is so hard for him, give him some slack! He only supports mass murder when his side does it.

              Liberals, against all wars but the current war. Scum like him needs to be sent to the wars they wish to allow, maybe then they’ll get shell shocked into reality and have a conscious again.

              You made the claim to be anti-genocide and that you’ve advocated against genocide. I’m asking you to back that up for the time period '23 to '24, where that kind of advocacy had the chance of making a political difference.

              This is your exact comment and I provided that exactly.

              I have not lost in this conversation and it’ll remain up proudly for everyone who cares to see to see it.
