Traditional Republicans have a name.
Its called “Democrat”.
What used to be “the left” is now just a more moderate, reasonable right.
What used to be “the right” is not even on the spectrum anymore, its become a populist extremist reactionary fascism. It’s so far off the chart its on an entirely separate piece of paper.
Jeffries needs to just accept this fact and
walk across the floor. Liberals are now Conservatives, and Conservatives are now Nazis.Edit: Misread that Jeffries was a Republican, the fact he’s a Democrat changes the context a bit. He’s absolutely right but he’s basically just talking about what I re-iterated above, but its the republican “traditionals” that need to walk across the floor and stop associating with Nazis if they dont wanna go down with that ship.
The extremists they are associating with are just going to Crabs in the Bucket them, clawing them down with them when things go under. If they were smart they’d drop the screaming children and walk over to where all the adults have gone.
What do you mean by walk across the floor?
Sitting for too long is a problem for everyone. It’s good to get up and walk around at least every hour.
Lol
I think he means that Jeffries needs to stop pleading with the extremists (and walk back to his side of the house and stop even trying)
Ah, I thought it was walk across the aisle to save the people who can’t even sort their own damn house
Well I disagree vehemently with that; the only way to get things done is to talk.
You don’t get anything positive done by negotiating with fascists, paleoconservatives and some of the worst libertarians and liars of no fixed ideology in the world.
Listening to them at all inevitably leads to outcomes much worse than no change.
We’re going to dance. Don’t speak.
I know what you’re saying so please stop explaining. Don’t tell me 'cause it hurts!
I love how a hot take from someone who didn’t even know Hakeem Jeffries is a Democrat has 100+ up votes. Lemmy is so ridiculously uneducated.
Whether he is a Democrat or Republican doesnt really impact the overall point of my statement mate, it’s tangentially related but not foundation to what I said.
Even ignoring the part where you didn’t realize Jeffries is a Democrat, this is just not a fair characterization of Democrats at all, as if they’re all the same.
Democrats in congress represent a broad spectrum from quite liberal to moderate conservative. Even by European standards.
with this explanation, the centrists’ mantra of both sides are the same hits the right spot.
