      I did not vote for Jeffries. He should leave my representatives the fuck alone.

      Luckily my senator didn’t waste his time

      Colbert must have forgotten how „silent defiance“ ended slavery and secured the right to vote for women. /s

      Trump was allowed the space to spew his hate, steal the valor of others, and shame and blame Americans. It was the best possible use of doing jack squat.

      I hope wherever Colbert goes after The Late Show he gets to be full shackles off.

      We need his voice.

      Like Schumer he was a good fundraiser and that’s it, the party rewarded them for efficiently sucking billionaire toes. Now that most of those billionaires are just openly pushing for a fascist state, they have shown their priority is keeping them happy.

      Jeffries becomes more of a pathetic embarassment by the day. We need firebrands to take the reins. Young progressives (and Bernie) are the only ones who really seem to want to fight back and understand the dangers and the mood in the country rn.

      Jeffries and Schumer are useless in this precarious time in history.

      Why didn’t the dems just boycott the speech? I would have loved to see half of the chamber empty. Fck Rump

      No matter what happens in the midterms, Democrats need to understand that Schumer and Jeffries are not the right people for leaders in 2026.

      NOBODY FUCKING CARES IF THEY ARE GOOD AT BACKROOM DEALING. They set the entire party back with how fucking terrible they are at almost everything else. I know that Reddit hated Nancy Pelosi for a lot of years, but she at least was good at both things. Probably the best ever at backroom dealing and at least decent in front of cameras.

      These two are like the leaders you want in 1880 when nobody heard jack shit from them.

      I have no problem with Jeffries doing this. I have said this in other subs.
      The state of the Union is for the people. I hate when whatever party is not in office causes a scene or does something stupid to get kicked out.
      Both parties do this. I also can’t stand the standing ovations for the president. Just speak and tell the US citizens what is going on.
      Then afterward you can listen to both parties either praise or criticize.

      Jeffries and Schumer’s „handling“ of our political situation is nothing more than complicit submission. These people need ousted immediately.

      There was never any good reason for any member of Congress to physically attend any State of the Union address. It’s nothing but theater, and bad theater at that. Staff can read the written report required by the Constitution and give lawmakers an executive summary. There should not be anything in the report that comes as a surprise to anyone.

      Fun fact – there is nothing the member of the minority party can do in the House.

      Jeffries handlers are AIPAC. They also back Trump.

      There is a reason he isn’t doing anything.

      Jeffries and Schumer need to be replaced. Both were still inviting Epstein to fundraisers after his horrific acts were known.

      I just don’t get it. If they would just sit there and LAUGH at all the dumb, over-the-top lies he was yelling, it would have done so much more to him than just _sitting there looking stern_.

    23. RellenD on

      I really don’t understand Jeffries, even Pelosi made actual protest during Trump’s first term

      I think Colbert is being genuine here, but so many who put forth this sentiment are not. It’s part of a bad faith script:

      1. If Dems aren’t doing anything, then they suck for not doing anything.

      2. If they are doing something, then it is just “performative” or “pandering.”

      3. If it’s more than performative, then it’s too little too late or it falls short of what could be done. 

      4. If it doesn’t fall short of what could be done, then Dems are still bad because they haven’t stopped Trump. 

      4 is a backstop that the bad faith people will *always* have available to them.

      Democrat leadership is great at performative defiance. I’m convinced they are watered down republican created to give people the illusion of choice.

      So when a Fascist regime takes over, the best thing you can do is…just sit there silently?…Get Jeffries out of his leadership position.
