OOOOOOOHKay!
So I don't know how he's going to do this except to make a deal backing a particular house republican in exchange (which is the point I was trying to make the other night npub1sppyzsrfp3xhjx3vzyg0w30frw6wm46pdm4hdxj3tr96x8py604ss8s0wq (npub1spp…s0wq) ...and who else was in the convo?).
but here's the thing, if he manages to enact it, it sounds like a great thing! holy shit. like i was saying the other day, we can put forth legislation that's actually *bipartisan* across the citizenry like paid family leave, stricter gun controls, higher taxes for the rich, healthcare for all....
but mark my fucking words. hakeem jeffries isn't interested in anything bipartisan, but only "bipartisan". what do the donors of the corporatists of both parties want?
military budgets will pass. corporate handouts and cuts to taxes will happen, you better fucking believe that oil is going to happen.
but the media will spin it beautifully. jeffries will be a hero. the left will be "pro-republican" for calling out his bull shit.
