In reply to the discussion: Jeffries: It's important to have 'strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence' at Trump address [View all]Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)37. In my opinion...
In my opinion, Jeffries is ignoring the voice of Democratic constituents time and time again.
I can hope that as House minority leader, he has some insight and a solid plan to overcome the NAZIfication of the U.S., but all I keep hearing and seeing from him is Democratic Party self-victimization and non-action against the most serious threat to our Democracy we have ever faced.
I sincerely hope his previous message that a god will appear to do our work for us wasn't his actual plan of action.
