Not "the party", just lame duck Jefferies:

Despite growing dissatisfaction among Democratic voters with the U.S.’s ongoing military support for Israel, the House Democratic leadership has picked two foreign policy hawks — Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) and Wesley Bell (D-Missouri) — to join the House Foreign Affairs Committee (HFAC), while also promoting an even worse hawk, Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida), to become a ranking member of the Middle East and North Africa subcommittee.

Him and Schumer want to depress Dem turnout so they can try to replace DNC chair before presidential primary because the neoliberal faction can't win a fair primary, and that's what we're set to get

    Because nationwide, Dems look to Florida and missouri to lead us. We need a strong enough win in November to oust Jeffries. If the margin is small or we lose, he's gonna keep on jeffriesing

    We need a strong enough win in November to oust Jeffries.

    Leadership elections were like 2 weeks before DNC elections...

    If people had voted against Schumer/Jefferies, and a neoliberal won chair, they would withhold funding from entire states as punishment.

    The current chair drained the Victory Fund, and stopped stealing from state parties, which is why people became confident to openly shit talk Schumer/Jefferies.

    They don't have a chance at retaining leadership in the next Congress.

    Then they can keep opposing until they get primaried. The voter base is shifting, get with it or we'll elect someone who will.

    Because, like Trump, they have no intention of giving up power.

    Its not just Israel, Dem leaders are voting against progressive taxation too. https://fortune.com/2026/09/02/san-francisco-democrats-bilionaire-tax-prop-40/

    in San Fran no less. So the demorcatic party really has abaoned all pretense of caring what its voters think, and is the zionist and rich kleptokrat party now. The only thing they have going for them these days is that everyone hates trump even more than they hate the Dem platform.

    Remember to vote klepto in the next election, or you're essentially voting for trump. Thats their entire message.

    Let me take this opportunity to, once again, reiterate that I (a lifetime Democratic Party voter), am entirely done with harm reduction voting. I will no longer vote for the lesser evil if the candidate sucks. The party has to start nominating candidates that don’t suck.
