The fact that in the US you can openly be a political "donor", trying to influence politics in your favor via naked corruption, then bitch about it when you haven't rigged the game enough to get exactly what you want and still leave the house without getting killed tells you everything you need to know

“With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development,” Jeffries said on ABC’s This Week.

i seriously hope hakeem jeffries looses whatever elections he tries to run in.

As far as I’ve seen thus far, Mamdani:

  • has never espoused an antisemitic opinion
  • has affirmed his commitment to ensuring that Jewish New Yorkers are protected from heinous antisemitic attacks, and also has condemned the attack against Israeli embassy staffers in DC
  • has high-profile Jewish allies and backers for his campaign
  • has condemned Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th in very clear and direct terms
  • stated that Muslims and Jews in New York can be an example to the world in how they communicate and get along with each other
  • is not running to be mayor of Israel

Also, Jeffries sucks.

I think it’s high time we take over the Democratic Party and drive these dinosaurs out, with pitchforks if need be.

At what point is association with the Democrats a detriment to achieving the political objectives of the socialist project?

Not trying to start an argument just interested in your opinion

A long ways from now, honestly. Having a (D) after your name means a lot of checked out voters will pick you automatically, and it doesn't really cost you anything. The Dem establishment would employ just as much vitriol and ratfucking against him if that was an (I) or an (S).

I somehow doubt these ghouls would be happy if anyone were to actually address the rise of antisemitism by making it illegal to conflate Judaism with the genocidal actions of an apartheid entity
