Jeffries must think Trump is winning. His strategy is the same: "a concept of a plan" is as good as a plan. It can't be defined enough to be criticized, and it gives the dopamine hit of looking like he did something. The stenographers we used to call reporters eat it up and publish it with straight faces.
Jeffries has been dead to me for a long time. Dude needs to go. He himself is a Blue Dog, the bastard. All this to-do about the DSA... I remember back in the before-times, when republicans were only aspiring to be fascists, but not actual ones, people who are now referred to as "progressives" were then called "democrats". Is it obvious to anyone else in the news-o-sphere that the Dems look so "far left" to some because the repubs have gone off the chart to the right? Asking for a country.
My first thought was that Jeffries' statement was no better than Trump's "beautiful plan in two weeks." But then I realized that *anything* he says right now will be twisted into an attack ad before the midterms, so maybe playing his cards close to the vest until December is strategically wise. Starve the propaganda beast.
You'd think at a minimum, the Ds might go back to the New Deal:
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan "Down With Socialism" on the banner of his "great crusade," that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is "Down with Progress--down with Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal," and "down with Harry Truman's fair Deal." That's all he means.
Yeah, this kind of clear and dynamic leadership will definitely drive everyone who is not a hardcore MAGA to the polls this November. Everyone I know is chomping at the bit to see Congress battle it out with the Supreme Court on an ethical code of conduct. It seems to be all they are talking about.
Whenfore will ever come the day when Democrats are allowed to publicly say one thing, or absolutely nothing, while campaigning and then when elected do the complete exact opposite? Tis a strategy that has served Republicans well since way back when Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell were both only dead on the inside (pour one out). But alas, such can never be for Democrats. Sad.
He hasn't got a plan. He has notions of ideas for an outline of a plan, and all the best people. Where have we heard this before?
Hmm. Maybe there is a correlation between "being for everything and nothing" and "voters just staying home"? "just asking".
Sounds pretty un-Democratic for the Democratic would-be Speaker of the House.

Hey, you stole what I said, a day before I said it! You must have a time machine.
“… he simply rejects the concept of having any plan at all, in favor of simply being in the process of coming up with a plan from now until forever.”
Why not? It works for Trump.

I'd go for an AOC Speakership.
I've got a pretty good bead of where she stands on issues.
It’s like listening to a mildly democratic Ben Carson minus the $500,000 furniture.
Well, he also successfully separated conjoined twins 𝐎𝐍𝐂𝐄.
Hakeem hasn't done that. Yet.
I will go to my grave wondering how such a stupid man could possibly be a neurosurgeon.
it's a concept of a plan, very popular these days
And in two weeks, it is going to be so sweet.
OMFG. Hakeem, STOP campaigning for the democrats you tool. Bought, much??!!
No shit. WTF is his story?

In the words of Zapp Brannigan, "What makes a man go -- neutral?"
This man isn't even decorative.
I'm suddenly nostalgic for the obstinate, hard-charging passion of Bill Cassidy.
Democratic in disarray!!#$!
Goddam autocorrect. "Dems" in disarray!
You are correct about both things!
Although I think perhaps it's Jeffries in disarray. He doesn't seem to know what he's thinking.
