    I wish someone competent would go for the Speaker’s spot. Jeffries is… genuinely uninspiring. Too centrist; too corporatist; too moderate.

    That's a nice way of saying I wish he'd fall down a flight of stairs and retire.

    He’s not old, he’s just not the person I think should be leading the not-fascist party at this point, because he’s far too tied to the political establishment
