I am referring, of course, to the dead eyed leader of the House Democratic Caucus Hakeem Jeffries.
He decided that it would somehow be a good thing to come out in opposition of Medicare for All, because lobbyists gotta write those checks.
If the Dems take over the House and Senate this November, it will be in spite of mooks like Jeffries, not because of them.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) announced his opposition to Medicare for All on the same day a CBS News poll found 90 percent of Democratic voters support the idea — and 72 hours after a Yale University study showed the program would save 114,000 American lives and $1 trillion every single year.
Here’s some important context: Jeffries has raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign cash from healthcare PACs in the 2026 election cycle and didn’t face any primary challenge holding him accountable to Democratic voters’ desires, despite him representing a deep New York City blue district.
If you think what I’ve just described is so cartoonish that it must be an overstatement, think again — it’s all too real and all too emblematic of Democratic politics.
But the good news is that other prominent Democrats are starting to speak out more forcefully against their party’s direction and this kind of betrayal.
The very epitome of everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party establishment (There is no Democratic Party establishment).
