His platform is another.

And on the Epstein Files. It's no offense to Mamdani - but we need the Minority Leaders standing up for Democracy. Not engaging on city politics. His district won or not.

Many of us are in red districts in Blue States and I need him (Minority LEADER) to look out for us. We have NO representation in the House.

Dear Hakeem - Drop this issue. Don't engage. Don't take media bait. They ask you about the race?
"Well here's what I know. None of the people that ran in the Democratic Party Primary in June are in the Epstein Files. Did you know there are credible accusations that Trump raped a 13 year old?"

The media is looking for a Dems in Disarray Story - instead of just one asking Krasnov "What the fuck are you talking about you boces reject!?!?"

It's falling into a media trap.

This is only an issue for the maga pubs and the left who are falling for this b.s.

Nobody else cares about this.

This does not matter to the Indies that voted for me in election as a DEMOCRATIC party member in 2023.
No one cares. They care about meals on wheels, the Epstein List, and the Community Kitchen I founded, and congratulating our governing body for reducing their taxes . . . an all Democratic Council in NJ.

Democrats in Borough and County - we don't give a fuck. The only issue we DO have with NYC is their Congestion Pricing Scam. It's their own fault if we move our dollars to Philadelphia. Our County is dead center between the two cities, and they are killing commuters in my Borough with that rip off.

we will have to agree to disagree. Not something I will change my mind about. Any Democratic politician who speaks out against - or when asked refuses to endorse - the Democratic winner of a primary is a disgrace to the Democratic party I've been a party to for over 50 years. But then Hakeem Jeffries has been a disappointment so many times that it's also not a surprise to me.

...because I can guaran-damn-tee you that not everyone has endorsed the winner of every Democratic primary.

This is just yet another wedge issue meant to divide those on the left. Never before has an endorsement for a freaking mayoral race been used as some sort of perverted purity/litmus test. It's especially ironic since it seems like those that are demanding all these endorsements for Mamdani are often those that are the least likely to enthusiastically and fully support other Democratic candidates...

endorsements mean zippo. Who I vote for does not depend on who endorses them. I will vote for Mamdani regardless of whether a representative from a district in Brooklyn endorses him.

to endorse VP Harris, but went out of her way through the media to make sure everyone knew that.

... and to cast some form of protest vote or third-party vote. Personally, I would have difficulty in giving a full-throated endorsement myself, but that's just me. I'm sure others feel differently, and others may feel the same. Mileage varies according to driving habits and road conditions.

It feeds the myth that xboth parties are the same."

And thanks ever-so for the reminder I'm being "allowed" to have an opinion. Please. Spare me. Good grief. 🤡😜🐸

did it very publicly before the UAW and others.

hmmmmm

I'll never forgive the people who screamed Genocider at, then refused to vote for a Black Woman.

People act like the Arab community has no misogyny or prejudice towards Blacks - ditto Latinos.

We won't forget. How they threw Black Americans back to 1919.

They were just out for themselves - now we are.

Congestion pricing is making life in Manhattan a helluva lot more civilized.

Just goes to show - we have different priorities.

What comes around goes around.

I'm all for increased badge prices for on the beaches for out of state day trippers. Put the money into Asbury Park schools.

Black Women's group - local on FB?

The Dems might be getting punished next year now that Hunter Biden is letting rip on the Obama dream team, Pelosi, etc. etc. stabbing Harris in the back. We took that loss personally - and don't trust anyone not like us right now. MAYBE Pritzker, definitely Tim W. But other than that? If we were fucked over by your group or ideology - then beg us to vote in the midterms.

Beg us.

ETA- We've waited long enough. Sipping my tea with my sisters, saying "I told you so" and laughing at AmeriKKKa showing its ass. Go ESTABLISHMENT DEMS!!!!!!!! Rah Rah Rah!

He's not prominent in the party. He's never run for anything. He's way different from a normal Democratic supporter or member of the public. He's been an embarrassment, frankly. His dad loves him, he loves his dad, and that's about it.

Black women are the base. They fucked us all over with their bullshit ads and not being all in for Harris.

Non Black Americans will not understand for several generations the quality and extent of cruelty they caused in us.

They don't get it - and that works to our advantage. People who always voted for the good of everyone? We have Issues.

As Nina Simone sang - Me and my people just about due.

when all I'd heard about him recently was him saying his dad should never have been dropped.

He's saying what Harris can't say.

And I'm proud to say, my siblings and I managed to get both our parents to rank Mamdani. Despite their old-fashioned zionist love of Israel, images of starving Palestinian children made them realize they do not want such war crimes on their consciences.

We have not yet gotten them to the point that, as Jews, they reject zionism, but we're getting there thanks to the Israeli LEFT, not that shit parading around as zionist left.

Written as a Jew supporting Mamdani and not falling for rightwing Likudnik/ADL hysterics.

This has gotta be the biggest Zohran endorsement yet

...with more than 75% of the vote in 2024. I highly doubt he's afraid of Mamdani.

I personally don't know of a single person who votes based on endorsements, and it seems to me that in cases like this, the "will he endorse/won't he endorse" drama is divisive.

JMO.

thread,SickOfTheOnePct.

I'm sure Leader Hakeem Jeffries is quite aware of what's going on.. so no one needs to tell him to "weep".

...in a general election, but the DSA has no issue running candidates against incumbent Democrats in primaries, so in that case, who knows?

But Mamdani supporting Jeffries didn't seem to be the point of the OP, rather the point seemed to be that Rep. Jeffries had better get on board and endorse Mamdani or he would be in trouble in is own district. I doubt that's the case.
