Even as Mamdani romps his challengers in the latest poll, Democratic leadership is still hesitating to endorse him. Former Obama strategist David Axelrod blames "donor pressure" on leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

      You’ll have to pardon me if I don’t care what Hakeem Jeffries tweeted one time 5 years ago.

        Man, I’d be thrilled if everyone was so tepid about these top Democrats instead of insisting on their continued occupation of public office being the only thing standing between us and fascism…

          Yeah, you gotta find someone who gives a fuck about Hakeem Jeffries lol. That is not me, see if you can find them and talk some sense into them. For example from time to time I post an article complaining bitterly about some awful thing he has done to fuck up democracy in this country, as a random example.
