In reply to the discussion: Why Hakeem Jeffries' new slogan for the Democratic Party is so ineffective [View all]bigtree
(93,296 posts)...how did that work out for Dems?
How'd it work out for him? HE had the media platform then, as he does now, to actually elevate the issues and concerns the Dem leader has raised, but he hasn't done that, has he?
He's misrepresented a phase the man used as the 'new slogan for the Democratic party' as if that inanity was actually someone's aim other than his clickbaiting own.'
None of the concerns Jeffries spends almost everyday spelling out for the press and public is contained in this diatribe, but he's nonetheless promoting this lie that it's meant to be a "New slogan for the Democratic party.'
It just isn't. Misinformation, full stop. Nothing that follows is credible. Not a word.
Moreover, by making this assertion, this political genius is diverting and dissuading his readers from the substance of what Jeffries actually said in front of and behind that one phrase. Why?
Why is he making this effort to divert from what Jeffries has actually been fighting for? There's not a speck of daylight between what any of his critics say they want and what Jeffries has done and is doing.
What's lacking is support, which people who claim to have the Democratic party's interests, or even the people's interests at the forefront of their advocacy don't seem to be willing to offer; just this navelgazing backbiting that is 99 percent projection and a fraction of truth in what Jeffries actually said.
Tell me. Didn't this author intend to dissuade people from giving heed to what Jeffries is saying; what our Democratic leadership has been saying (successfully advocating against the republican budget)?
I mean, ffs, what's the damn standard here? Some opinion of some journo who can't be bothered to represent the issues that are important to the party and the people?
Or the actual efforts of our party leadership who has made the republican health care crisis and their mismanagement of the economy the centerpiece of the national and media debate?
Why is this person trying to change the subject to something he thinks Jeffries should have said, which I can guarantee was already said and ignored?
Why is this person now coming back to to tear our Democratic leadership down, again, with specious claims and parsed, cherrypicked misrepresentations of what Democratic leaders are advocating for?
When has he ever done anyone any good with this kind of baiting and sophistry aimed at Democrats?
When has he EVER advocated for our interests like Jeffries?
Run an election against them and won?
Done anything more than run his mouth? What did that navelgazing claptrap accomplish us?
