Jeffries will be the new leader. Similar ideology as Pelosi, but much more openly hateful of the left. He might work with the GOP and pass some right-wing stuff purely to "own" the left.
Hakeem Jeffries is opposed to class analysis and he watches Game of Thrones. He's an anti-socialism liberal.
“There’s a difference between progressive Democrats and hard-left democratic socialists,” Hakeem Jeffries told me. “It’s not a distinction that I’m drawing. They draw that distinction. And so clearly, I’m a Black progressive Democrat concerned with addressing racial and social and economic injustice with the fierce urgency of now. That’s been my career, that’s been my journey, and it will continue to be as I move forward for however long I have an opportunity to serve. There will never be a moment where I bend the knee to hard-left democratic socialism.”
Jeffries likes that phrase, bend the knee. He took it from Game of Thrones. “Black progressives do tend to tackle issues first and foremost with an understanding that systemic racism has been in the soil of America for over 400 years,” he said. “Hard-left progressives tend to view the defining problem in America as one that is anchored in class. That is not my experience as a Black man in this country. And perhaps that’s where we have a difference of perspective.”
Amazing to me that, instead of slightly bending with the wind and nudging just a bit towards progressive/left-wing signaling to appeal to the base as is typically the case, the DNC is doing the exact opposite and will likely double down when called out about it.
I suppose their bloated egos from the midterms might be a factor.

The ghouls before were at least putting up good theatre about making the rich “pay their fair share”. Now…

Obama, Hillary, and Biden all said that in their debate speeches and on the campaign trail.

Oh boy. This is like Obama again. Probably will get called racist for calling out his shit like with Obama.
We might as well have Bill Clinton back.
more openly hateful to the left? Jesus christ. I hate this fucking show and I want to change the channel.

Well, yes, they're centrists. Centrism is a right wing ideology.
Yeah, but they’re more than happy to adopt left wing rhetoric and aesthetics when it’s called for.
Is he? I thought he at least supported legalizing weed and police reform
Every dem says this until they are actually on the spot to vote
