Democratic House Minority Leader Blows Hot Air

[ProfD]

Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is still selling tickets to a fight against Republicans that doesn't exist.

 

Rep. Jeffries is vowing that Democrats will continue fighting for Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits.

 

There's no path to Democrats winning a fight when Republicans are majority in House and Senate.

 

Rep . Jeffries House seat may be safe for now. However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's political future is in jeopardy as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may primary him.

 

Regardless, the Democrats are as stable as a 3 leg chair in Congress. They are powerless. Somebody needs to tell Rep. Jeffries to sat down somewhere...else.

They should have been fighting for Universal Healthcare instead of some disastrous and confusing Obama Care that makes the insurance companies richer than they already are.

At one point during Obama's Presidency....both the House of Representatives AND the Senate was majority Democrat and I think the S-Court more Left leaning than they are today.
They not only could have passed Universal Healthcare but they probably could have CONSTITUTIONALIZED it and made it a Constitutional Right of every citizen.

Right. Those same Democrats could have codified Roe v Wade.

 

Nope. Two sides of the same coin or two wings on the same bird.

It appears that Democrats are nothing more than Republican lite.

What I've been noticing for years....decades now...is how they play the game.

Republicans will come along and introduce some right-wing policy.
Usually it doesn't get passed and the Democrats will PRETEND to fight against it.
They'll wait a few years or wait until we change Presidents a couple times and then the Republicans will introduce an EVEN MORE extreme and asinine right-wing policy 10 times worse than the one they originally pushed for.
The Democrats will them come through with THAT same policy that was originally pushed by Republicans but offer it as a milder and tamer alternative that the public will find more palatable.

They did this with Health Care.
They did this with Welfare Reform.
They did this with Affirmative Action.

The Democrats pushed more Republican policies through than Republicans themselves.

Yep. They have divided themselves into the Progressive Far Left and Moderate/Centrist. Neither has much power over real Republicans.
