@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social How do dems not understand that you look weak when you refuse to use the power you have? Why should we vote for dems if your learned helplessness prevents you from doing anything?
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

This is pathetic - to give in over "a promised vote" - but this is what they were always going to do.
