Alternative headline: DNC scrambles to remove DINO in their midst once even they realize the jig is up.

That's from a year ago, and the fictional couple that he constantly refers to as, "The Baileys" make an appearance.

Now do Hakeem Jeffries.

His future? He's 75 years old! He's already lived out his career.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Apparently in politics he may actually qualify as a spring chicken. I mean shit, he's been showing up to work and speaking somewhat coherently -- he's already ahead of a number of other high-ranking politicians just based on those criteria.

The list consists of 6 people. Only 1 is a sitting senator.

Democratic Senate Nominees

Peggy Flanagan, Minnesota Senate nominee
Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan Senate nominee
Juliana Stratton, Illinois Senate nominee
Troy Jackson, Maine Senate nominee

Sitting US Senators

Elissa Slotkin, Michigan senator

Democrats Still in Senate Primaries

Seth Moulton, Massachusetts congressman running against Ed Markey

In other words, for everybody not in Michigan it's time to call up your senator and demand they get on the list.

How the hell did lose slotkin???

While you out it, please ditch Hakeem Jeffries too: those two are about as effective at inducing excitement and kindling hope in Democrats as two wet mops left in a bucket for too long.

Yeah, I agree with you on this

[-] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

I see Jeffries as a semi-sentient representation of a semi-soft dick that's currently in use in a porn video

You forgot Fetterman, too. Show them the door.

[-] dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth 19 points 10 hours ago

While I'd love to see Fetterman get kicked to the curb, this article is about Dem leadership. Schumer and Jeffries are; Fetterman is not.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

While the article is a bust, Schumer really has the problem of not actually being opposition. He is more "Republican Light" than actually trying to save the nation from the NeoNazi Republicans and their Orange Führer.
